Chris,

The beams have to stay, and you can only gut the driver's door if you put NASCAR bars in. Also, you've got to run a stock 1.6 8v in ITC, and a stock 1.8 8v in ITB. You really need to get a copy of the GCR.

Chris,

You can get a copy of the CGR from the SCCA office in Denver. However, I would try and borrow someone's 2001 book as the 2002 book will be out in a couple of months.

Email me off-line if you want to talk about preparing your car.
