OK.
...but that's not the case here, it seems.
From their website:
"...with my consent, BTM LLC of Arizona has full exclusive authority to
reproduce the original Bill Thomas Cheetah..."
-Bill Thomas
Seems more like a licensing deal than "the original designer produces..."
When the factory burned down...that was the end of "original" Cheetahs.
The new stuff is what homage is made of...
But, it is very cool that Vintage regs have changed to allow modern "recreations" to participate... that will very much help the sport.
