I get quite upset when the HRSR cars are referred to as 'hot rods' - the rules are there and the weights are a great leveller. My car is being built to their rules as it is a cheaper proposition than FIA - plus the entry fees are around half, or less, of those for Masters or U2TC.
Best way to make a car faster is to change the nut behind the steering wheel - witness Dan Cox in his Dad's A40 at Brands last year.
If you care to talk to the HRSR guys you'll find them a friendly bunch and prepared to listen. The grids are varied and expanding (no mean feat in the current financial climate) and the racing is all pre-66. Not the mixed grids of cars from different periods - which seem to proliferate everywhere outside of the FIA based series - which, incidentally seem to be dying on their feet.
