A those owning Lotus cars Wilt be interested in the following reply Al we received in answer to a query to the sports car club of America Over the Banning of the Lotus super seven from Acca events for 1963 it is True to the Boca did not recognize the Isolee version of the Lotus super seven for ims. A recognise the Imore Venlon. How Ever in class b Thea year. The main reason the car classification committee did not accept the 1500cc car for 1963 was Hal when classified according to its performance potential the car would need to run against heavy weights such As the corvettes. For safety reasons the committee did not want to encourage this Type of classification. In deference to Thoie club member who already owned the l.t40cc cars the a Clilon Psi made to continue their recognition in class b for this year even though it is considered a bad principle. I can Only guess what will happen in 64, but there May be Way to classify the 1500 super seven and other problem Type cars separately from the corvettes. If so. It May be that the committee will decide to recognize the car. Sorry i can t be More definite at this time As i know thai represents quite an investment for owners. Signed. John m.
