SVRA Heritage Cup continues growth

Mid-Ohio event had nearly two-dozen entries, with no contact

As word spreads about Sportscar Vintage Racing Association's Mazda Miata Heritage Cup for NA Spec Miatas, the entries are growing. The reasons are fairly apparent – good value; great tracks on vintage racing weekends (and the outstanding machinery that goes with it); tight racing; and, perhaps most importantly, little chance of going home with a dented car.

"I absolutely have zero patience for contact," says Tony Parella, the President and CEO of SVRA, who has also raced in all three Heritage Cup events run so far. "With these cars, and what we're racing for, I have firm belief that you can enjoy the car, race extraordinarily hard, but stay in an envelope that doesn't involve bump drafting, tear up the cars or take a chance when you're absolutely sure you can't pass clean."

Parella says that means racers can prepare their cars to the same quality that the owners of the high-dollar vintage machines do, and know it will look as good after the race as before. "I think there will be a huge demand when people find out about it," he says.
