Absolutely EXCELLENT news, David! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LMMFAO...I missed that. NEED MORE COFFEE !!!!

:023:

You guys are surprised by any of this?

Same ol' same ol' from this crew. Sigh..

Lather/Rinse/Repeat


:bash_1_:

Here is an update. BMW CCA Club Racing has proposed a rule change that would allow E36 ITS cars into J-Prepared WITHOUT an SIR.

If it passes--which it will--this will enable the vast majority of...

Hahaha...touche'

Thanks, man.

Maybe Santa will bring you a sense of humor for Christmas!

:rolleyes:

GASP!

But...but...but, Marshall, the "formula" is everything!

The SIR doesn't have to be tested---the "formula" says it will work! The "formula" and the "process" are sacrosanct and they are...

Bill, we are going to have to agree to disagree about that one. You may be right--300 lbs may be the weight. I seriously doubt it, but it may. Or a 29mm SIR may be better. Who knows? Clearly,...

Bill, I in fact did answer your question. I want the whole thing redone.

Bill, first of all, I have no sense of "entitlement" of any sort. My view is, the best driver will win. Now, I know there are other parameters---big $ often aids lesser drivers in winning. But...

I posted what I meant, Jake, just as I did when I said the Circle The Wagons mentality is in full swing here.

Let's recap, shall we?

-the 27mm SIR was mandated...untested...Andy et al claimed...

Jake, tell me again about all the testing the 27mm SIR was put through before it was mandated?

Case closed.

Bill, you are correct. I should not have suggested you were behaving like an azzhole. I retract it and apologize for it. I should not have lowered myself to behave the way folks I criticize...

Joe, I would ask that you work on your reading/listening skills. That is NOT what I said.

What I said is that a common benchmark is that every 10 pounds of weight removed from a production...

Andy, with all due respect to Bob (who has been very nice), I could not care less what the Vice Chairman of Dell Computers says, much less the Vice Chairman of the CRB. Titles do not impress me. ...

Way to keep it real using the language of a bitter backmarker, Joe. :023:

As an aside, I would have no problem wit the E36 being reclassed. It may be the best long-term solution of all.
...

Joe, here is some unsolicited advice regarding the above statements: please do not take up either phychology or mind-reading as a paying profession, as you would starve.

I am sorry to say that you...

You guys crack me up.

Circle the wagons at ALL costs.......but avoid answering Fred's reasonable questions about the RX-7 at ALL costs, too. LOL at the incredible irony. And ya wonder why the...

Spot on, Fred.

And so we come full-circle back to Dave D's suggestion, which I heartily support, of adding 150 lbs of lead to E36 ITS cars, thus taking out approximately 15 RWHP, and bringing the...

Bill, my good man, I believe you may be parsing my comments for your own convenience. They are quoted below in their entirety. Note my comments about the subjectivity & arbitrariness of the magical...

Bill, why you gotta be an azzhole about it? I was asked for my OPINION and I gave it. Please take a deep breath before you blow an o-ring. :018:

1) I did not say there are no motors making...

Andy, I am not going to argue what-if with you any longer. There is ZERO evidence beyond circumstantial/hearsay of 210 RWHP ITS E36's that SCCA has produced to justify this claim. ZERO.
...

Gold standard? LOL.

Andy, please prove that the majority of E36 motors in ITS are producting 210 RWHP.

I will save you some time: THEY ARE NOT.

Your "gold standard" is subjective nonsense,...

I am sorry---I must have misunderstood the question.

I think Dave Dillehay made a good suggestion regarding weight in the 150lb range. Since so much of the alleged "formula" is subjective, IMO,...

If it were JUST those 2 choices? A 29mm SIR that does not work as advertised OR a 300lb chunk of lead?

I would do neither, and run in BMWCCA and NASA instead.
