Title: F5000 Rover ?
Post by: roverman on July 09, 2012, 07:43:56 PM
Ok vintage racing types, where would a 5L. RV8 best "fit" in vintage racing ? British made vehicle would be prefered, but which ? Would be easier to build a 5.4L,(component selection). As of now, I'm considering  a TR 8 in Texas Mile and drags.  Anybody ? Thanks, roverman.

Generally, "vintage racing" organizations accept pretty much anything built through 1972. Racecars built after 1972 might or might not be accepted. For that reason, a Triumph TR8 owner has far fewer places and opportunities to race than a Lotus 19 owner.
