One of their Largest Classes is a "VINTAGE" class that follows most of the intent of the Original US VTA.
I believe they are not requiring Drivers (but many have them) and they run 21.5, and run OVAL.
One of the guys, Mike Jennings, worked with the SCCA Trans-Am Series in the 70's and LOVES being able to recreate these cars, and has a whole table full, along with a photo of the starting grid from one of the races he worked, I believe he said at Road Atlanta (or Road America I forget) in I believe 1970.
His Concourse entry WAS that starting line up (in picture below) + a couple other of the cars on hand, the Indy 500 Pace car lead the field all day, and the Rust Bucket was on a rotating display.
