as has been mentioned by several already it is ultimately down to the series organizer as none of these races are FIA rounds (with the exception of the Lurani).

As the organizers of most series do it on a commercial basis their main priority is to have a full grid. As a club run for its members the HSCC is realistically the only one that can afford to throw cars off the grid and historically they have.

So unless an organizer can be confidenet of filling the grid with "straight" cars they will continue to allow "grey" cars. Its not perfect but its the reality and so long as you have a good time out there it shoudl not worry you if a few cars are more liberal in their spec unless you are pot hunting!

Ultimately I would prefer to race with safe illegal cars rather than legal loonies so if there is to be policing let it be for driving standards......
