To be honest, if it were a vintage class here where I live, I most definitely would race an original Optima or Javelin and forget about everything else. It would be all Bandaid with homemade parts and the ones that would need to be original would be bougth.
I am currently out of the race tracks, about two years ago I would race 4wd & 2wd buggy, stadium truck and short course trucks and it was a PITA. Races were held locally and since there were no sufficient staff every racer would need to help on the next race to assist on the track. So imagine me racing one class then assisting the next race while charging batteries and making repairs on all four classes.... DISASTER. It wasn't even enjoyable.
But... with one high spirited, metal grinding chain driven Optima I would definately return to the tracks!!!
