</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">B. Continued tradition established by Thickos through camaraderie and group get together (cook out lunch Saturday and Sunday, British Pub Saturday evening

</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">C. Series Points developed from Earlier Vintage Vee model. Including durability (laps completed) from 1st Sprint Race, Fastest time from 1st Qualification Race and Position for Spridget Race in a best 2 out

</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">E. Encourage street Austin Healeys & MGs as spectators by offering special parking near our Spridget Compound inviting them to join in the fun and encourage track touring session and assisting as crew.

<div class="x_MsoNormal"><b><i>III. Racing Classes per VSCDA / SCCA (1972 Classifications Guidelines for Points and Awards)</i></b> Revamp with 1972 GCR / PCS Focus. Our intent is to have anyone interested in racing a Vintage Spridget to join us. This is a
double edge sword since an individual may have their own personal opinion of why they think they should or should not be in a certain class. Vintage Racing has many clubs throughout the US and Canada with different criteria than ours. We have 3 levels within
3 classes that should allow anyone interested in racing to have a place to compete with other similar prepared racing Spridgets. We recognize that everyone has an opinion of what is fair, based on their logic. We have tried to make that more defined by 1972
SCCA GCR Specifications detailed, which is a VSCDA requirement. We would like to encourage placing the proper designation on your car & when you register.
</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal"><b><i>IV. SMRS 1972 SCCA GCR / PCS Highlight of Requirements</i></b>.
</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">A. Background: VSCDA defines Regulations for Group 2 cars like our Sprites and Midgets from the VSCDA Website and updated 3/28/22 titled TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR RACE CARS:
</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">B. VSCDA - SCCA 1967 General Competition Rules Appendix A/Article. Production Category Sports Cars (w/PCS sheets) and after review, 1972 and prior cars homologated to similar regulations published by FIA and
some other sanctioning bodies. </div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">C. Objective: Now that we have a copy of SCCA’s 1972 GCR /PCS rev 1/73 we actually have facts on what was required then vs what we heard or thought it might be. This document is available to anyone that would
like an electronic copy. The goal for this document is to highlight requirements as of 1972 GCR that would impact Square Body Sprites and Midgets on common areas of misunderstanding. For the sake of commonality and consensus within our group Mk1 Bug Eyes will
also follow 1972 GCR requirements, which is consistent with VSCDA requirements. </div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">D. 1972 SCCA GCR Highlights (the following highlights are for those wanting to run in ERA Correct 2E Bug Eye or 2D Square Body class). Comments are in ( ) for clarification:
