Steve,

Due to the fiberglass body, I cannot qualify for the SVRA Gold Medallion classification. The car has an SVRA logbook and runs in group 6. If you stay within the class specs, the real limiting factors are the carbs allowed, iron heads and your pocketbook, along with your desire to stretch the rules. see some cars out there that are definitely stretching the rules, but who really cares there is no financial gain for finishing first as opposed to last. I had my engine built to the specs SVRA requires.
