Car Eligibility
Choosing a Vintage Race Car
The path to the grid requires an RMVR-eligible vintage road race car, ideally with a Log Book issued by RMVR or another VMC-affiliate racing organization. Whether there’s a vintage race car in the family, or you’ve just found your ideal vintage race car in a dusty barn, you’ll want to review RMVR’s eligibility requirements to make sure your racer complies.
Determining Vintage Eligibility
RMVR eligibility is based on period SCCA General Competition Rules (GCR), addressing production-based race cars built before 1959 through 1981 for Production-based race cars. Sports racers follow legacy SCCA rules. Formula cars use recent Monoposto and legacy SCCA rules. In recent years IMSA production-based race cars through 1976 have been added to the mix.
If the car you wish to race has a current RMVR-issued Log Book, you’re in luck. A pre-existing log book from any legitimate race organization is a plus. And in any case, the most expedient path to the track is to contact RMVR’s Eligibility Team right from the start. If you don’t know where to start, go right to the top.
