ITAC Math..... where would this fall??

[Eclipse2Lancer]

I think what Kirk was getting at is that the weight isn't a "guessing game". The ITAC employs a formula to determine weight based on things like FWD/RWD, stock HP, suspension design, etc. To withhold the make/model b/c of percieved potential bias is to insinuate that you think the ITAC would purposely mess with the math when calculating weight. This really just isn't the way things work...

No worries though, I'm sure Kirk or Andy will get you an answer shortly (FWIW, they're both on the ITAC as are several others on this forum).

edit:
Looks like Andy has already thrown a figure out there. That weight sounds pretty "good" for a FWD ITS car. The Lancer wouldn't be my first choice but it doesn't sound any worse than any other FWD'er in the class.

Thanks for that response and explanation.

I understand this is a web forum and not an "official" answer. Some people have told me it would probably be ITA, but when I looked at the current list in the GCR, I personally thought ITS.

Wanted to get other opinions. Didn't expect someone to get offended by it. Sorry if it did. :cool:

Thanks for the guesstimate, Andy!

Being new to the game, you've missed a LOT of history....... And you stepped blindly onto the hornets nest!!



You're also going to have to wait another 5 years for it to be eligible for IT.......

Maybe Showroom Stock??

2004 is eligible for the 2009 Season.

Hornets nest indeed.


But wait another 5 years?
From the GCR:
"Cars from the previous four (4) model years and the current model year will not be eligible. No car older than a 1968 model of any listed vehicle will be accepted for Improved Touring competition. Turbocharged/Supercharged
cars are not eligible for Improved Touring competition."

So a 2004 is eligible in 2009, no? Current M/Y is 2009. Previous 4 model years are 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005. Did I miss something?

edit.....Andy beat me to it.

ITAC member no. 2 agrees with ITS and Andy's napkin math. We'd need to take a closer look at it, but that looks ballpark right.
