Imo, a B3 is great for vintage racing, but against modern cars on high grip surfaces it will be slower. Easier to drive but slower. So it depends on what you want out of your racing.
Another thing to consider is parts, as they aren't as readily available as for something like a B5M.
It comes down to the amount of use and your ability to keep it running as breakages and Wear will take its toll...
I race vintage in vintage class once a month ish with a vintage car, but a modern buggy week in week out.
Oh and modern electrics all the way unless it's a shelfer or used once/twice a year..
