Maybe we should all lobby the Vintage Car Club to accept all classics (even the marginal ones), and then we could organise and race under the VCC banner rather than MSNZ? It would be totally feasible and commercially a lot cheaper for all of us, as not only would the licences and logbooks be cheaper, but race entry fees could drop by at least $25 and we'd probably get even more drivers into the fold!

I suspect that many of the VCC members would like to come out and race more than once a year too, so we might have far more interesting race meetings.

Only people to miss out would be MSNZ hierarchy, but their work load and expenses must also drop. Users pay.
It is not that the Vintage Club would not like the classics, it is an agreement with Motorsport precludes that.
Your next statement about racing more than once a year is not accurate as there are quite a few events. At this stage only 2 circuit meetings in the North Island but more other events than is poss for most of us to attend, numbers of hillclimbs where the 1960 date is not enforced, as that date relates only to circuit meetings.
Remember most of these meetings are staffed totally by volunteers, and they have lives too!
