How many ITR cars are we up to!

I just saw this post in the ITR SCCA facebook group and I think it may be the first ever Chevy in ITR! It got me thinking how many cars to we now have here in the northeast? how about the rest of the country?

Copy/paste the list below and add in car numbers, make/model, Driver, and location!

1.) 50, Mazda RX8, Stephen Blethen, NorthEast
2.)
3.)
4.)
5.)
6.)
7.)
ect...


I will add others that I know when I get more time. Off to continue to enjoy what is probably the last day this year in the 70's!

#56 Nissan 300zx, Tristan Smith. Southeast

I think that is Brian Bagnall testing his ITR vette build at LRP,
he told me he was close to having it ready to test

21 BMW 328is Rob Thiele, NorthEast

others I know, all NorthEast:
20 BMW 325 Rob Nimkoff
28 BMW 325 John Harrison
80 BMW 325 Ian Prout
Porsche 968 Ben Phillips
BMW 325 Doc Aziz
BMW 325 Terry Fischer
BMW 325 Ken "Hubbardini" Hubbard
Honda S2000 Steve Ulfelder
BMW 325 Matt Rooke
03 BMW 325 Tyler Munro (328 in the build?)
36 BMW 325 Rob Breault
96 BMW 325 Jay Baier
18 BMW 328 Dave Maynard
Honda S2000 Valerie Heun

We also had a 330, a 911 and another S2000 registered for the Glen I believe. I am sure I missed some.

We've had 24 different people enter ITR races this year in SEDiv (15 or 16 from Florida, 7 or 8 elsewhere). Just off the top of my head I can remember several BMW 325s and a couple Z3s, Porsche 911, three or four 944s and 968s, a 300ZX, an RX8 and a Supra. The complete list is on the SEDiv website under SARRC points (names only). I can dig out the cars for each driver if someone really wants it.

I may start racing 2014. I will do some testing next summer to judge how competitive the car can be at different tracks with full suspension and basic motor work. No cage and extra weight though. Then if it looks like the car can be a front runner, i will gut and cage and hope for the best.
My major hesitation right now is the car count. I enjoy the large spec miata fields I am in, but I am starting to get bored of the spec class, and would like the diversity of the itr cars.

Where are you Kevin? We get some big fields around here. Hoing to see us hit 20 cars in one race next year!

Stephen

I looked at every result in the northeast. 3-7 cars seems to be the norm. Fields appear bigger sometimes because of the ITS cars.

Looks like 11 was the largest field this past year at the Glen . Looks like about 30 cars here in the northeast so a 20 car field is certainly possible! I hope we can make it happen since racing is certainly a lot more fun than lapping :) Since the glen region is the hot spot maybe we should all start planning know!

The rest of the country doesn't include the west coast?

Oh yeah, that's right, all of the ITR cars I know of in California are no longer actively running in ITR. We had 4 cars here in SFR, at least two in SoCal, and I've heard of a couple in the Seattle area.

ITNT points show almost 30 there...

Porsche 968 here in the Southeast, I know of 3 other cars being built for the 2013 season.

Actually, we were at one time up to three in So-Pac. But we don't count because I went to STU, Bryan Lampe has decided to go back to rowing/Crew, and John Norris will be running in E-Prod.

Go Joel! My 968 has been solid :-) You'll do well with it!

My post was misleading - Joel built one I'm keeping mine for awhile!

'Zackly. Hasn't he had that car for, like, two "seasons" now? Isn't that a freakin' Benspeed Automotive ADD freakin' record...?

I have a 1999 Z3 Coupe. I tried to run it once this year but the engine blew up. I hope to have it ready for 2013.

About to acquire an Integra Type R in a weeks time! Can't wait!

Located @ Vancouver, Canada (not technically ITR, but IP2 up here)

I am hoping to have the sister car to Stephens RX-8 done mid summer (not as much go fast parts but still quick)... It will be a fun car and should be available for those that want to try out ITR before making the investment!

Raymond

The Jerk at NJMP saw Dylan Murcott who was super competitive in the TreadZone Pro IT this year with an SM drive an S2000 to the ITR win (over Ben with his 25 cycle tires). If they feel that the S2000 can be competitive for 45 minutes that may try Pro IT next year.

Also at NJMP we had a couple of 944 Super Cup cars successfully cross over to ITR.

We had just put a junkyard motor in it for that race. He is a killer wheel-mail...just not sure it can make the power needed.

Just bought this a month ago from my dad. He bought it to flip it since it needed an engine. We built him a real engine for his Boxster and put the engine from his into it. Already have the hard top for it. It will be a long build process over the next year as it will be my daily driver for that time. I while be getting parts up for during that time.

Bob Roth, Teg type R, Wisconsin Central Division

Just bought a 2.8L Z3 to start building an ITR car for the southeast division. Ran an FP Miata and am looking to return to IT and get more track time.

This will take a bit. Have a lot to learn about the Z3.

Ricky THompson in Goldsboro runs one, very successfully. Google R&R Body Shop in Goldsboro and you'll find it. Give him a ring.
