Monoposto rule info

I am looking at a 25f Crossle FF and wonder about its eligibilty for our west coast CSRG race club. Followning the 2009 monoposto rules, if I read it correctly, you must have a car that was raced "prior to 1973". I sent a email to Crossle this evening asking for info on the 25f model. The owner believes the car to have been built in late 1972 and I have seen references to a driver winning the "Tate Trophy" race in the UK in 1972. Can anyone shed any light on the potential eligibility of the 25f

i THINK that model was first raced stateside in 1973...that is when i first ran against one

Therefore, I doubt your car can run vintage, but most of the organizations are starting to include a Club Ford class. Your best bet is to check with the sanctioning organization of each race, as they are often willing to be a bit creative on letting cars run.

Yea Mike, come down south and get away from those ugly tracks like Laguna Seca and Infineon. :-)

Are you thinking of hanging up the 23b or just a little less expensive fun?
