    I keep figuring that one of these characters will fill out the damned forms. As paperwork goes, this ain't rocket science...

    Hey, I'm the proud new owner of a '96 4-cyl "GTI". Yeah, it's got a sunroof, but I'll just have to deal with a careful removal. See you bums next Spring ;-) Oh, has anyone written "the letter" yet to get more model years included, or should I write one?

    I hate to inform you the 1995 model will be classified for racing at the end of this year and the 1996 model will have to go through the new rule process for showroom stock. I called SCCA and spoke with Tech and was informed about the new 10-year rule in showroom stock, so 1996 will be eligible to race in 2006.

    I was told this last week and I hope some one could prove me wrong, because I, like you, also found a 1996 golf to build.

    Sorry - you lost me there. I understand the SS rule (because I'm going to run mine there until it falls out of the 10-year rule) but that has nothing to do with IT eligibility.

    Since "cars from the previous four (4) model years and the current model year will not be eligible" (ITCS, 2003, p. 5), models through 1999 will be eligible for next season. Unless my math is wrong?

    PS - Congrats, Eric! My cage is done and the car comes home on Wednesday. Whee!

    There are several IT cars currently classified that are not 10 years old. Or, is it a case of only ones that are currently classed in SS won't be classed in IT? If so, dumb, very dumb!!!

    There's no (current) rule that codifies that thinking certainly. Please, Eric - write the letter. It won't matter in my case next season but I just have this feeling that this is going to become an issue.

    Das Cage is in...

    Rally-legal gussets throughout



    The entire cage was tacked in on top of box structures, which were knocked down so the tops of all upper joints could be welded. The entire deal was then raised back up and the boxes reassemebled underneath. Very clever...



    Detail of optional 7th and 8th pickups



    This tells the whole door bar story: The tubes are right against the door card, it is NOT particularly hard to get in and out, and I can still work the window winders - very handy for rallying! Check the load path from the top of the A-pillar...



    Enter here. Clearance at the steering wheel is not huge but should be workable. It's no closer than it was on the Autopower bolt-in in the Renault Cup car, I don't think...



    Chris Schimmel in Hillsborough, NC did the work. VERY nice welds and joint fitment.

    I haven't been following this issue very closely, but my interest has been piqued.

    Does it look like the ITB classification of the Golf III is going to be extended to include the 1995 model year?

    Would a '95 Golf III Sport 2dr automatically have a sunroof? How about rear disc brakes?

    Bob...

    The Sports all had rear disks...but very were made without a sunroof. I had one as an autocrosser...there was one other that also autocrossed and I have since since one for sale in St. Louis w/o a sunroof. All of the non-sunroof cars that I'm aware of were white and the sunroof was actually a delete option on the mulroney.

    Someone needs to write and make the request, Bob.

    From the August 2003 FasTrack

    The following items have been
    REFERRED to their respective advisory
    committees or TABLED pending receipt
    of additional information. ...

    IMPROVED TOURING

    1. Classify the 1994-97 Volkswagen Golf
    with the 1993 model year already classified.
    (Monaghan) Tabled for review of the
    Board of Directors decision on reclassifying
    the 1993 Volkswagen Golf.

    * * *

    It seems that it should be possible to "take this off of the table" rather than making the request from scratch. More in the Rules forum...

    Just to be safe, I sent my own letter to the Comp Board (via email) requesting addition of the 94-98 to the 93 ITB Golf III listing. I didn't bother with any other details, which I feel would be better handled by separate letters, if needed.

    Hey Kirk (or anyone),

    On the slight chance that my '96 model year doesn't get added to ITB in time, is there a Bilstein/Neuspeed "trunk kit" allowed in SSC?

    TIA,
    Eric

    The Golf isn't a trunk-kit car. Thanks for officially making the request, Eric!
