2008 ITA Race results now FINAL -- CAI Protest

As some of you know, two of the front-running CRX's in the country were protested at this year's ARRC for running what are commonly known as cold-air intakes. As one of those two cars won the ITA race on the track but then lost the protest, the findings were appealed.

The CoA has just rendered their decisions....
Attachment 519
Attachment 520

In essense, it should now be clear that cold-air intakes for the 88-91 Civic/CRX (and by extension the 2nd-gen Integra) are not legal in Improved Touring.

These mechanical protests were filed only as a last resort after both a discussion with the subjects of the protest immediately following this summer's IT-Fest and the request for a Rules Interpretation under GCR 8.1.4 was not completed in time for the event.

Congratulations to Kevin Ruck, the 2008 ARRC ITA Champion. :smilie_pokal:
