I am a firm believer that the classifications should be a rolling year. Any motor that is over 40 years old is a classic, anything from 41 to 75 years old is an antique and anything older than 76 years old would be a "vintage class". So as of this year a 1978 would be a classic a 1943 would be an antique while a 1942 and older would be considered a "vintage motor". I am sure that someone can come up with a more fitting name than "vintage" but that is my humble opinion on the matter. The reason for this is to just keep new life into each class. Every new year would see an influx of new motors into each class. It would keep the judging at events more meaningful in my opinion. Lets face it the best in class of any show should in theory win the best in class for every show if the motors remain stagnant. New blood keeps the the class alive, just as new blood keeps this hobby alive! As it stands 20 years from now that 1951 motor will still be classified as a classic even though it will be 87
years old!!!
