    I'm on the ITAC still and in favor of this. 200TW and probably max 8" wheels, any diameter.


    I think it will initially be a huge boon to IT. The problem, as always, is competition and...

    Not necessarily. They might still exist. They just wouldn't go to the Runoffs.

    I know. And we'll have to agree to disagree on that. I used to think you were pushing to "kill" IT with some of your ideas, but I get now you are not. Your vision for IT is what made it so popular...

    No, significantly more power than the stock power targets for ITR. Like Andy said it would be unraceble in ITR at its spec weight.

    I'd say absolutely not. The ARRC is actually pretty poorly attended in ITS and ITA. Big S and A fields at CMP, VIR, Roebling, Daytona, etc. though.

    Not entirely. I think frontal area is a huge overlooked (maybe for good reason) advantage/disadvantage in IT. I see it in my car. CD sucks. But frontal area is small. It matters and probably...

    I think further fracturing of classes in the SCCA (sports car STL v. non-sports car STL or whatever) is a huge mistake.
