New SCCA Heritage Classic Solo Class Announced
Intended to bring out many of those old British sports cars that are languishing in garages.
Topeka, KS -- The SCCA has announced a new Heritage Classic solo class for vintage sports cars (1940s though '70s), currently with a "supplemental" status pending an adequate show of interest. The class is intended to give cars built to mid-1970s Production and Sedan specifications a place to play. Such cars are often too highly modified to run in the traditional vintage classes, yet too old to be competitive in current classes.
The cars are drawn from road-racing E- F- G- and H-Production, Formula Vee and some of the smaller-bore sedan classes. Some, but not all, of these cars were in the now discontinued Solo G Prepared class.
In forming this class, the SCCA hope to lure from their garages and other decades-long resting places the many racecars from the formative era of the SCCA and the American sports-car scene. And limiting them to solo competition eliminates the need to either update or backdate equipment, or the addition of a halon or other modern fire system. Also, you can keep those flares -- the class is truly "run what you brung!"
Competition is expected to be intense. The recent seven-time National Champion Steve Bollinger (Sprite) will be joined by the 1979 National Champion "Mighty Mouse" Fiat 850 of Craig Way and 1974 National Champion Phil Gott in his Triumph TR4A. Longtime solo competitors John Lieberman (Austin Mini), Rocky Entriken (Triumph Spitfire) and many others are expected. The SCCA has also whispered rumors of several Formula Vees joining in.
Because solo offers the opportunity for multiple drivers of a single car at the same event, Heritage Classic offers a great foundation for family teams to compete in cars that are generations old and considered part of the family.
