I'm the guy that posted the comments on scca.org. Hope I didn't ruffle anyones feathers. I'm just an amateur wanna-be that took a bite of the Porsche apple. It was enough to get me addicted and...

What's the latest on the ITR proposal? When will the decision be made to make this a reality? I have a good lead on a Z32 :D

This is exciting. i see a Z32 300Zx in my future :D My daily driver is a Lexus IS300, so that might be cool too.

Andy,

I'm sure it is. My original post wasn't very clear. I apologize. I realize that power and weight are important to the classification process. What I meant to say is; why isn't it the ONLY...

Could someone please explain to me why SCCA doesn't just use power/weight ratio to class cars? I really want to build an IT car and am trying to learn as much as I can. It seems to me most threads on...

Measuring and policing boost and HP would be futile. There are too many ways to cheat. Like I said earlier, it would have to be an open class based on displacement and weight. Prepare the cars to GCR...

I would think that a class structure such as IT would never work for forced induction for the same reason several have mentioned; it's too hard to police and too easy to cheat. That's why I think it...

Thanks for posting the GRM article of the 240Z vs. 300ZX. I was actually looking for that today on the GRM site and couldn't find it. Low and behold, I look here in the thread I started and there it...

These are good points. I realize there are classes to "drive" these cars, but some could argue that not much "racing" goes on in those classes because of the mis-matches between cars. A 2.5 liter...

Has there ever been any consideration in SCCA to have a forced induction class? It appears that, at present, SCCA doesn't class many turbo cars which is very curious to me. It seems to me (an outside...

I've been wanting to build an ITS car for several years now. I've considered almost all RWD cars that are ITS leagal and keep coming back to the 280ZX. Other ITS "candidate" cars I've owned include...

Just checked the GCR. You're right. You can run the 3.0 litre in a 944 in GT class.

This is a timely thread as I am looking to build a 944 ITS car. I've built a 951 for PCA, so am familiar with the 944 line. The 944S seems to be the way to go to be competitive in ITS. I'm familiar...

Thanks for all of the replies and good info. After I posted I realized one of my statements may be misleading - "we don't care what you run or what you do to your car". It would probably make sense...

I've been sitting on the sidelines and learning as much as I can about amateur road racing with the intent of jumping in soon. I've looked closely at NASA CMC and also IT in SCCA and spec Miata and...

Ty, Today I submitted my inquiry to CRB as you suggested. Guess now my question has been answered. Thanks for pointing this out.

Chris,

What is DP? The 280ZX is not classified in EP and the 240SX in EP is the 3-valve version.

Thanks,
Scott

The GCR states that 79-83 280ZX running ITS must use rear brake drums. If I'm not mistaken these cars all came with rear discs from 79-83. If this is the case does it mean I'd have to back-date my...

Waco Racer - I recognize your name from the CMC board. So, if I understand you correctly, you are considering jumping back into SCCA with an EP car? Is that so you can race and still maintain your...

What's the status ot ITS in the SW? Last race at TMS there were only about 3 ITS cars. I'd like to build one and begin racing, but I'm not sure there would be much to race with. Are there any...

I'm thinking of building a 240SX KA24DE for ITS in the near future. I have just finished a 944 Turbo for PCA, but now can't afford to race it (long story). I have a few questions that I'd like to get...

There are specific classes to race Ferraris, Vipers, Porsche 996's, and Boxsters but not one to race a 944 Turbo? I mean specific classes, not free-for-all classes like ITE or SPO.

Not sure I see...

That's a good point. I'm a beginner anyway so it's doubtful I'll be very competitive at least for a while. It's all about having fun. I'm sure I'll run across others in that class to compete with.

Thanks for all of the responses. It looks like if I want to run in SCCA then SPo is the place to do it. Probably won't be very competitive there for several years (and lotsa $$$). I'll probably stay...

I have an opportunity to buy one real cheap. I'd like to turn it into a race car. The car is not specifically listed in the GCR. My local region (Texas) says the rules for ITE do not permit the 944...
