Regional / National Vintage Series

[Dazzieboy]

I've been thinking a lot about a vintage race series for older cars. As has been mentioned on other vintage threads, the older cars aren't generally able to run the modern brushless / lipo combos and as a result aren't as competitive against the new stuff. How easy / difficult would it be to incorporate a heat of vintage cars at regional and even national events and how popular would it be? What would the rules be on age cut off and modifications from standard versus modifications that were done in period. Could brushless be allowed but capped at a certain turn limit? Some modern aspects may want to be introduced to make life easier such as battery type (I'm sure no one would want the hassle of Ni Cads). Would the BRCA support it or would it have to run under organisation. I have worked in 1:1 scale historic racing, particularly the classic Group C sportscar series and the interest it creates because people remember the cars perhaps from when they were kids is awesome. I'm sure classic r/c would create just as much of a buzz if done right.

I'm just thinking out loud but am interested to see what others thought
