I'm very interested in the 'Vintage" type of Road Racing
My plans would be a mild 68 Barracuda, However when I look on Google, you Tube etc, for info , rules etc it is all very confusing.
I live near St.Louis and would be willing to travel some to watch, learn what ever it takes to get started.
Any links, idea, or help would be great.



You mean door to door racing?

And NOT HPDE's. HPDE is a High Performance Driving Event that is usually a track rental day with regulated with limited passing sections and run groups with similar experience drivers.

Look at what Vintage groups run at the closest tracks near you. And look at what groups allow non originally raced and documented cars. Usually they have to follow rules for a particular year between 66-72.

Before you do anything go to an vintage event and mingle with everyone in the pits.

SVRA and HVRA are groups like that. Start there and find something near you.

IMHO if you are going the door to door racing direction, a "mild 68 Barracuda" isn't going to fit/cut-it. Those need cages, race seats, safety gear. That is what the Team Starfish 66 Barracuda is: http://www.teamstarfish.com/the_car.html

Tim Herren's 70 Cuda AAR clone is like that too:
