Racing a car built to 1969 standards is not as safe as racing a car built to today's standards..... The good old days weren't as good as some would have you believe.... Life was simpler, sure... With today's performance potential in yesterday's cars, the safety level declines. Go ahead and find your FED.... They aren't cheap and campaigning one of them would easily double what your present car costs you.... The big meets are few and far between so add a bunch of $$$$$ for travel, and of course when you're on the road don't forget to take along lots of spare part$!!!!!!

The majority of the safety updates are there for a reason....Usually takes someone getting hurt to mandate a change in rules.... Ask John Force which is better....
