    This process is called "Blueprinting the Fenders". I'm pretty sure it covered in the GCR somewhere.

    You miss my point. The Volvo is just fine in weight. Most old cars except for the poor early VW's are fine. Even the Audi is fine. A few recently classed cars, most notibally the VW MK 3 are...

    Those stock motor mounts are made from used kitchen sponges. I hope you have that "stay rod" thing to keep the engine from falling out.

    Dave I'm OK with the weight on the VW but wish you would reconsider the poor old Volvo.

    There is a pretty common opinion down at Summit that the MK-3 VW and both the big and little Honda's have...

    I'm old and grumpy and hate change. But I'm fine with the alternate motor mounts.

    I don't think the Process has served ITB particularly well in the last few years. I can only speculate if V2 would have been any better. I think a measure of adjustment based on observed on track...

    I think this is currently happening in ITB with the VW MK3 and the 1955cc Honda's. The MR2 would be a class winner in the old ITB racing against 2002's and A2 Golfs but possibly an underdog against...

    I'll take the heavy ITA car on a long track, and the light ITS configuration on a short twisty track.

    The old saying is "Horsepower sells engines. Torque wins motor races." Peak horsepower is not directly related to how well a car accelerates.

    There is another good example of Audi performance potential from some years back in the MARRS series. At one time Dick Shine built an A2 Golf for Don Barrack and at the same time did an extensive...

    This is a little wacky. The ITAC asks for differing opinions, but if they are not in line with their own, you argue against them.

    I just ask that you just put SOME stock in on track performance. ...

    Interesting that the Volvo 142 is one of the model cars for ITB. I know that the 142 makes a lot less horsepower then many think. I suspect that Volvo may have been a little optimistic with the...

    Andy, I thought I did answer you question but I'll be more specific. I would ask questions and listen to the answers. The hypothetical Car A that you describe may be very challenging, but I bet all...

    This is when the Process is inadequate. The Process also fails when a capable builder/driver builds a dog (such as Chuck Allard's 911). This is where the ITAC needs to look beyond the limitations...

    I have concerns with the ITAC recognizing the “Big Picture” at present. First of all, I think the “Process” is a great tool for the ITAC. However I think they are rather carried away with the...

    Good Gosh!

    Wide band O2, Data Acquisition, Open ECU, New Harness and Sensors!

    I'm so behind the times. Still have the stock computer and a stopwatch taped to the steering wheel.

    Bill, the ITB/ITS mix works well at many tracks. If ITS runs away from ITB it works out great. However last time it was done at Summit it was very frustrating to the ITB drivers due to constant...

    Last weekend at Summit Point an ITB 242 qualified 2nd in class at 131.3 and won the Saturday race. Performance like that seems to indicate that the car is classified just fine as is.

    Marshall, Yes, MARRS grouped ITS with ITB a few years ago and from the front runner ITB perspective it SUCKED BIG TIME. Every race the ITS back markers would blast down the straight and park in the...
