Call it whatever you want. If "Errors and Ommissions" works for you, use it. My contention is, if they want to use that as a crutch, they need to tell people how the weights are determined in the first place.
You say this like it's not a legitimate thing. I will leave it at that.

<font face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"2\">Let's take a walk down memory lane. About 2.5 (maybe more) years ago, there was a request in FasTrack to have the weight determination process for IT published. The response was that it had been sent to the ITAC for investigation. Now, fast-foward to the present. You, Darin, and George have stated that the ITAC doesn't set the weights (and never has) for IT cars, the CB does. So, why was the initial request for the process even sent to the ITAC 'for investigation', if the ITAC didn't set the weights?</font>
We have stated this before. The original request to develop this was never added to our agenda. Bottom line is simple - and whether you like it or not, this is it - most of us feel that it is NOT in the best interest of the membership to publish any type of formula. The answer that was given in Fast Track in response to a similar request is sufficient. The process is too subjective and will open up pandoras box. THIS too has been debated and stated in another thread. If this doesn't work for you, vote in a new wave of Directors and appoint a new CRB and new ITAC memebers. We are doing what we feel is right and if the membership thinks we suck, then you have every right to replace us.

I'm sorry, but when you say that the top dogs in a class 'define' that class, you've pretty much said that the cars that don't meet the top dog's level of performance are essentially field-fillers.
You want me to sugar coat it for you? If you need that, let me know. IT has no guarantee of competivness, so it is logical to assume that SOME cars may not be the class of the class? You want a Prod-syle attempt at full-blown CA's? Doubt it - but when you say something like this, you sure seem irked at the big picture. You don't think that when that ITS TR8 was being built that the owner KNEW it was going to be an underdog? People know these things, Bill.
