hi wayne!
you can race an e36 in bmwcca in jp class in two configurations, its or jp. you have to follow the rules of one or the other. you cannot mix. (bmwcca prepared class rules evidentally started out originally as improved touring spec, but there has been significant rules creep over the years.) if you race as an its car, you have to meet all the its rules, including the restrictor. if you take the restrictor out, you are illegal as an its car. if you have used spherical bearings in your its suspension, you are illegal as a jp car. end result, you can't race an its spec car without a restrictor. with a restrictor, you have no chance against a jp car. (assuming, of course, that the restrictor reduces hp by some mystical amount enough to stop e36's from being the "overdog" in its.)

yes, i could take a restrictor out in a few minutes, but then i couldn't race legally in either group...

disclaimer - this issue is irrelevant whining and not pertinent to the narrow scca only view of the world held by an apparently large percentage of the topic contributors....those persons may disregard and do not need to reply. :-) )

was there anything else of interest in the jan fastrack?
