Do we need push starts in Classic sidecars to keep it period

Why do we have the modern way of starting (Clutch Starts) When the period we race in had clutch starts ? Should we bring push starts back ?

Don't suggest that Ed, with my hips they'd have done a lap before i'd even got on the thing. (I'm building a BM')

I'd be more than happy to have push starts... 
My outfit starts easy enough.
Perhaps we should have a vote and put the suggestion to Ian!

Absolutely not!
My backs buggered after turning an F1 over in 1994, so it's not an option.
If classics go back to push start, we'll buy an F2.
