Not every club accepts Imsa
My club only adopted the Imsa through 1976 and only did that recently
If someone builds a car to 1977 specifications with modifications from 1977 then it is not allowed.

Cvar doesn't accept ImsA at all

My club doesn't accept fia at all

I had to turn down a chalon because the scca never recognized a slope nose 914 because the factory never built a slope nosed 914

I guess my point as an eligibility person, is to read the rules
I don't know if glen's club gave him grief because they do or don't accept Imsa?

But if you find a club you like. See what years and to what rules they accept that then it should work

For example. The 914 gt's were raced in Europe as an fia class
If my club doesn't accept fia then I can't race a Gt.
I knew that when I built my car and pulled my fenders without putting gt flares on my car.
It goes back to the oldest saying in the book to read the rule book
I'm sorry the guy at the hawk wAs a jerk. That's not cool. Sounds like he was frustrated and not a good steward at all

Brant,
My club (Midwestern Council) accepts SCCA, FIA and IMSA cars and I have no trouble with my car there. I totally agree with you about picking a club before you pick the car, although sometimes you end up with an old race car (or 5) that you would like to race.

When I went to the BRIC I was merely trying to run at an event that is touted to be the largest vintage race in the US (I think Monterey Historics are better) and claims to accept all kinds of car. I take exception to people who insult me and my car and I believe that it is not a good idea to place a car in a class that puts the driver and car in harms way because of the speed differentials.

As you can see from the examples given the tech guy accepts anything (newer than 2000 Mustangs, Lexus and BMWs). He is just on a power trip and enjoys his role being “The Decider” and doesn’t mind rubbing it in your face.

I vote with my money and that is why I will not race at the Hawk until Jack is removed as supreme tech director.
