IT "X" names

[lateapex911]

OK, just to keep things organized, weigh in here on your name classing ideas. Of course that's based on the big "IF"...

OK, some notes-

IT-

.....GT....stilll used in certain areas, and the old American Sedan class before it outgrew IT rulesets.
.....T....comes after "S", but ITT in certain areas is a class for mini trucks
.....U....reminiscent of the old IMSA GTU class...allows expansion for future an even faster IT class called ITO
.....O...sounds cool, and the old GTU cars are really in S and A anyway.
.....R...Not sure about the logic of this one, but I don't think it's used yet. R for "race"? What are the other classes?
.....X....lots of guys think all wheel drive as the manufacturers denote their AWD models with an X, others think "X" sounds cool...sexy, experimental. ooookaaay....
......5 ....if you rename the lower classes 1-4, 5 allows for 6, etc expansion.
....other??

"R" is logical becuase it is the next letter "above" "S".

That leaves the Acura NSX in "ITQ".

I vote "ITR."

[SPiFF]

ITR

"R" is logical becuase it is the next letter "above" "S".

A - B -C -D -........P - Q - R - S- T - U......

"Above"?? As in alphabetically?

[mlytle]

currrent ITS should be renamed ITR --- ITRx7

new class above should be ITW --- IT class for the BMW Whiners...

[JeffYoung]

Yup.

Q R S T U V

Like

A B C D E.

ITR it is. I think.

[itaintegra31]

ITX is in use in the San Francisco Region, it is a class that allows ITA cars another run group.

I vote for "R" and here is why...

GT - Still in use regionally
T - Used for IT Trucks regionally
X - Used regionally
G - Looks too much like a "C" at 100mph.
O - Looks too much like a "C" at 100mph
U - For the *next* class.

Yes, I know that there should be no mistaking ITC and ITO cars on the track, but thats not the point. Workers and T/S want everything to be clear, and in many fonts an O and a C are going to just be way too close.

Another vote for "R"

I like a full re-numbering or lettering. Call that one ITA, ITS=ITB, ITA=ITC, etc or IT1, IT2, IT3, etc.

And, as for R coming in above S, you all missed out!!

A

That was REALLY bad.

GT and Touring uses numbers, I vote for numbers! But not necessarily renumbering all the classes. Start with the new class as IT1. Then after we see what shakes out, we can see if ITS will become IT2 or IT3, with the rest of the classes following along. This leaves some flexability to the scheme.

[Knestis]

Every aspect of the new proposal that is different from the existing IT framework gives someone a reason to say no. Just a thought.

While I agree that a full re-classing or re-numbering makes more sense from a purely "makes sense" standpoint, its a whole lot easier to just add an "ITR" than to get everyone out there to put new vinyl on their cars.

How did we get to IT"S" from A,B,C anyway?
Is the S supposed to stand for "Sport?"

If this is the case, then "R" can stand for "Race."
If we add yet another class in the future (and I'm talking FUTURE) after all the ITB and ITC cars are running vintage, it can be "IGT"
"Improved Grand Touring"

[lateapex911]

Seems like the "R"s have it...
