Mike, I do not think their are as many people out there as you might think . That are that disturbed by this, it's only "h" and maybea small"g" class that these engines can run in. As I recall Jack D., Doc Jeffries, and George Callaway where the three that pushed for these small classes back in the 80's, I belive both of these cars have one #1 championships.Mr Desotoman has already mentioned that last years #1 car was "MOTO" powered and no one fussed about that, but maybe rear engined modifieds are not traditional , but since when a 300mph roadsters tradtional, I would bet that there are no tradtional parts on that new roadster of ours.Our roadster was fist built by Greg Carlson, than bought by Ralph Wisher(went over 200mph) than rebuilt by my dad and myself over this past winter,from the out side it looks like every other lo-boy out their. 29 body 32 grillshell, cubic inches are just that... would you be offended by a rotary in a roadster also?My guess is that the flathead racers of their time were not impressed when they had run straight up with olds,hemis,and that new s.b. chevy thing that came out in 55. Would it more to the traditionalist liking if I grafted my Suzuki head on to Austin Healey block added billit crankshaft, al. rods, and custom forged pistons? The SCTA has been harping on we need yonger blood, this might insire some. As our second driver is a 22 year old mechanical engineering student at CalPoly Pamona, and I,m sure on her budget she can not afford a blown fuel burning aluminumn head 500 ci engine to put in her traditonal roadster.As a owner of two tradional roadsters I applaude the efforts of any one willing to tackle the writing of such a rule, but do not stop at motocycle engines it should be all foregin engines in any vintage class. I would even vote for it. Thank You all For your time. feel free to come buy and see us at El Mirage Roadster's 832 a/gr and #2 h/gr Eric Eyres SDRC President
