CVAR Invites Club & Newer Fords for 2014

[Cobra]

Check out the attachment and plan to race with a New Vintage Class!

Yes! You invited to race your Club Fords up to 1987 manufacture date with an open tire rule. Slicks are allowed in the New Class!

Plan now to join us for some great open wheel racing startting in February at Texas World Speedway.

All of the CVAR Race Groups follow true Vintage Spirit Racing..."Make sure you wave as you pass."

This is a great move by CVAR for getting more people in Vintage Racing and now if we can get tube frame S2000's it will open the door for some of us to race affordable Sports Racers. Good job Group 6 for this

Fellas, I love you and enjoyed seeing some of the CVAR crowd at COTA, but there are very few if any "tube-frame" S2000 cars ever made, let alone racing today. The Crossle and Ocelot cars were about the only ones that ever made it over here.

It would be better if you allowed either SCCA Club Sports 2000 (outboard suspension on both ends, built before December 31, 1984) or just Sports 2000 up to a year (like 1986, for example). Marvin Hodges and his beautiful Lola T-598 would be a great ringleader!

The cars would integrate well into your Group 6 and what we have found in VRG, VDCA, SVRA and VSCDA is that it's not SCCA folks crossing over, it's vintage prod and sedan drivers who want a purpose-built sports racer (with fenders) to move up to.

It's a "controlled class," like Formula Ford, and for that reason, the engine specs should be frozen to the last specs SCCA published with the addition of excluding the Mazda MZR (Miata/English Sports 2000 Duratec) motor, if you want to keep it "vintage."

Sports 2000 in vintage has about 80-100 folks regularly competing around the country and they have been integrated in VARAC since 2001, SVRA since 2002, VDCA since 2003, VARA since 2004 and VSCDA since 2004. You guys should do that.

Best, Peter

PK has made a useful suggestion for CVAR to follow. Limit the S2s to 1986, keeping it truly vintage and avoid getting into the business of accomodating too many class types (including the latest and greatest in S2 before it was reorganized for this coming year).
