The Daytona Coupes are problematic because they were never a production car. You might be able to get one approved for SCCA in GT1, but that would be running in a very competitive group and they would not be using vintage racing rules regarding aggressive driving; i.e., your car could get bumped. I am not sure if you have a vintage race group associated with SCCA on the west coast. We have one on the east coast called the Historic Race Group and we have one member that has a 9000 series Daytona Coupe that does run Webers. If you happen to be on the east coast with the car, let me know and I am sure that I could get you an invite. Of course, you would have to have all of the safety requirements regarding a full roll cage, emergency cutoff switch and fire systems along with the approved driving gear.

There is also another east coast vintage group that will allow the Daytona Couples from what I can see, they actually had a picture of one on their website, that group is called the Vintage Race Group.

I looked through SVRA's website, and could find no allowance for a Daytona Coupe. You could always ask and see if there might be some group that they would allow it in.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I believe that there is a west coast vintage group in which the factory five coupes have been running. You might ask about that group to see if you would qualify. Alfa02 might have more information on this group.

Good luck, hope that it works out for you. Nothing like vintage racing.
