Additional Information:
After two full years of MSC Racing, those drivers competing in most of the MSC Events have found
that putting on a good show, having fun, and giving each other opportunities to run in front, has been the way to run a safe,
crowd pleasing show. We will try to convey this spirit to those who run with us. We DO NOT want any Win-At-All-Cost driving.
In this vein, New MSC Members will be on a one-year on track probation. The MSC Board of Directors will discipline any hard
driving as determined by it. This may be one race, multiple races, or whole year ban on competing in a MSC Event.
Any one racing in a MSC Event MUST BE a MSC Member. There will be a one-time exemption for members
of another vintage racing club and for special events such as Legends or Powderpuff Races.
*Exceptions to ALL or ANY of the above qualifications and specifications may be made under special
circumstances at the discretion of the MSC Board of Diretors. The intent is not to exclude, but rather to include all cars
that keep within the Spirit of Vintage Racing.
