As bench-warming vintage racing enthusiast, I have to admit I would be disappointed to walk through the paddocks only to find the "vintage" cars I am watching race are not truly survivors of the era represented.

Now, that being said, having a Kirkham or Shelby Al-bodied monster to race would be pretty awesome---assuming I could afford the occasional shunt or off-course excursion. I simply think they do not belong at a vintage race event.

As a spectator, I want to see the actual cars from back in the day.

Pretty please, with sugar on top, don't turn this into a "Real" vs. "Replica" churn...
