I just wish I was nearer, would love to give some of my collection a run out.
Hard to allow the Lazer in as it covers a grey area. Technically as the ZX was available in Nov/Dec 1989 it should be allowed, but how do you stop someone passing off a ZX-RR (1996!) as a ZX with hop ups. You would have to ensure it is to ZX spec, with short shocks and no slipper.
Pre-1990 is a good cut off, mid 80s cars aren't disadvantaged and it gives a wide selection of cars. Relaxing it a year or two will allow Bosscats, Lazers, etc. which probably isn't so bad but still a performance increase over the older cars. But making the cut off at 1992 includes the Losi XX, Top Force and Lazer ZX-R, making it 1993 includes Cougar 2000, Cat 2000 and Predator.
I was interested in racing at the Southport vintage meeting they had a couple of years ago, until they changed the rules to allow all cars pre 1995 - can't exactly compete with an Optima against a Works 93 or pred.
