Even though I'm across the other side of the pacific, I think Dale is correct. There are lots of events to run the 'hotrods", so keep the Hampton Downs event a "signature event" for the period correct cars/Drivers.

Thank you Horizon.Originally Posted by Horizon
Surely this one meeting is prestigious and important enough to attract and allow only period correct cars. A bit chicken and egg, I know but if we don't make the effort we are doomed to have "Historic" grids full of YB Escorts and nobody with any wiff of a competitive streak will contemplate building a period correct car.
On the other hand, if owners of period correct cars don't support this one event, we will only have ourselves to blame if the event promotors allow Hot Rods back next time.
That's it in a nutshell Howard, but it will take a couple of meetings for the older cars to reappear. There are meetings that the 'new' cars can run at and in reality, if you are going to go to the expense and time of building one of these with all the latest gear, you are competitive and need to run with similar people and cars at similar competitive meetings.
