So, the cab-rearward body is a key requirement.

It seems overseas (outside US) there are more regular vintage classes where here in the states we may have once a year vintage events or maybe a little more regular than that.

I do feel the pull of a possible Turbo Optima reissue but.........no where to run it really.....although I could just go and get smoked in the standard 13.5 class if I could source enough parts to make it viable just for giggles.

I have an original Lazer ZX5. I might upgrade to gear diffs. But parts availability is sure an issue I had with the Lazer. I hope this Re-Release fixes that
