The Prod folk have rejected IT cars coming into Prod with the appropriate safety mods at every turn.

The publicly stated issue seems to be that they reject having that level of prep in the category. You have to remember, there are huge battles in the Prod community over cars getting 25 pound weight additions or breaks, or specific car allowances like slightly larger brakes, etc.

Allowing cars into classes based on a plan like ITX goes to Prod Y will possibly work, but ONLY if the Prod community feels there is NO chance that any IT car could be prepped well enough to have a snowballs chance in hell at being competitive..even with the mid packers.

Thats just my feeling, maybe I'm wrong, but years of watching the intercategory feuding makes me think that they have little interest in bigger picture concepts.
