Speaking purely as a spectator, I'd hope that if organisers and car owners can get enough impetus behind both the 80's cars and the ST stuff (even the youngest ST cars are now at least 10 years old- the early cars from the first 2-litre seasons are around 20 years old- Where the heck did all that time go?), then maybe we can have a situation in a few years time where we can have separate races for each category.
Until then I can probably live with mixed grids- IIRC, the first couple of seasons of historic Group C saw grid numbers supported with an 'invitation' class for cars like older Group 6 Chevrons, early 90's GT cars etc
