Oh and coupled to that the 1st Gen can run rear discs and four pot front calipers the 2nd Gen has to run dangerous one stop specials sliding calipers up front and rear drums the yanks all went over to in an effort to make cheaper car. The need to have a post 66 race series to the same regs as the pre 66 and I would have had some. If we are talking about viable historic racing then some flexibility has to be built into the regs. CTCRC did this for years but the championships were constantly sneered at by the purists (sometimes on here I have to say) and never mentioned in mags like Octane and*{{{{ we all know how people like to read about themselves}}}}*. This IMHO has lead to the break down of the championship which is a big shame.
