Juan;
Drop me an email off-line for a more detailed discussion. Your '69S might be quite competitive (at least regionally) in E-Production, but you might need to make some changes to it first since the concept of Production Rules are very different then what most people are used to with PCA rules.
Sports Racers can be fun, but a real money pit since a lot of them are one-off's, or heavily modified production race cars such as FF's with FA motors or 1 liter bike motors and fully enclosed body work. They are wickedly fast (their lap times comparable to FA's), but can be fragile and require a lot of maintanance. Keep in mind a lot of guys in those classes are virtually "Home grown" race engineers since the cars have to deal with ground effects, top-side aero, heat rejection issues, suspension system design, etc. etc. etc. Either you need to understand that stuff, or you'll pay someone to worry about that stuff, or else just be slow.
If I were you I'd buy a copy of the GCR (get the complete version with the CD) and read through it. You can compare the rules for the different classes as well as get a sense of what would be involved in converting your car to E-Prod or GT3 which has more liberal rules.
