<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D">I got hung up in this same mess at Mid Ohio a few years ago. Tony did finally answer my e mails but the SVRA people he asked to call me and discuss about it never called. The BS reason at that
time was that Rick Parents Spitfire was so fast that they got complaints on him and moved all Spits to the class that matched his lap times????????????????????????<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D">So if Mario Andretti comes to the races in a Spec Sprite does that mean all Spec Sprites move to the GTP class???? This was also the weekend that tech said my car wouldn’t be allowed back unless
I changed the windscreen as it was a dark tint and they couldn’t see their hand thru the tint??? Go figure.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D">It’s really tough to support an organization like this that was started and grown on the backs of small bore cares. But now the small bore cars are consistently huddled to the worst start times,
run in multiple class groups and is basically being snobbed off by the big money owners and cars. I mean really an entry dollar is an entry dollar, the price is the same either way. The small bore tears up less stuff on track, causes fewer delays and typically
represent themselves quite a bit better than the money runners too. I’ll probably run with them some but it sure does hurt to pay 700.00, with no enduro included, and get 2 sessions a day for three days. Do the math120.00 per 20 minutes is pretty pricey to
me. And that’s in no one goofs the session before or during your session. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D">Another thing what is the point to have the celeb’s show up and race, do we really care??? I mean does it promote more entries, I can’t imagine why. I don’t want to race Mairo, he’s gonna kick
my ass in lesser equipment any day…what fun it that. Plus that’s one more session that is wedged into the days already too short on track per group schedule.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D">Are we racing the cars for what they are/were because we enjoy it or are we putting on a show for the celebs and spectators for the benefit of the organizer?? Dang if I want to drive 8 hours
one way, get less than 2 “hot” hours on the track, drop 1750.00-2200.00 on a race weekend and not be so damn worn out that I want to skip the last session because I have had “enough”!!
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D">Thereby my love for VDCA, if your half fast you always got someone to run with, the groups are consistent and pretty darn safe too. They are there to have FUN. If you don’t get enough track time
then you got a mental issue and the price is really fair too. Granted due to having fun and the fair price we don’t go to Sonoma or Road America, but we sure wear it out where we do go I can tell you that much. I remember the early days at HSR and it’s sort
of like that. Everybody there is there to beat your butt if they can, but if you need their spare distributor so they can try to beat you they will gladly let you have it. No beating and banging and cold ones after the fact.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D">Ok I’m done, sorry if I went off on it. Just bugs the crap out of me that the groups that made vintage racing into vintage racing are now the goat in most organizations eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal">SVRA has merged group 3 with group 8 and 5A. We will be out with 911’s that make over 2 times as much power. Additionally, we paid for the test and tune day to shake the car out from winter hibernation. They have us going out a 8 after
a 7:15 drivers meeting. Not much time, but someone has to go first. What really sucks, is that we have 2 orientation groups out with us on every other test session. So if we miss the 8 AM, we are out with the orientation groups every other time we are on the
track. You would think that they could have at least spread the orientation groups out over all the sessions. That would have allowed all to share in that fun. <span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We want to go have a good time and I am going with a good attitude. However we paid $700 in entry fees and I feel like the true vintage Sportscars are being treated like the outcasts at the event. I started running events at RA over
30 years ago and it may be the last time we do the Spring event at RA. I hope to report good news at the end of the event, but I am skeptical. <o:p></o:p></p>
