If you were king for a day?

[ekim952522000]

OK guys we have been having a lot of deep rules discussion lately I was thinking it would be fun to list what would you do to the IT rules if you could write new IT rules again today.

keep in mind this is just for fun I am just curious as to what everyone would do I know 99% of these changes could never be made do to the high cost of the change and have come to accept them as part of IT.

If it were me I would...

Not allow splitters

Not allow spherical bearings

Allow any shock with 2 external adjustments

Allow the removal of cruise control.

Allow any unused wiring to be removed

Allow any size wheel in all classes width or diameter
(this would allow one wheel rule for all classes)

Allow anything stock to stay this would include ABS/TC

Include AWD cars

What would you do?

<--Hopes this thread can stay light hearted.

Start a marketing campaign to increase interest and car counts in IT. I am seriously surprised at how many people I encounter that are involved in club racing and/or DE events that don't know about or don't understand IT racing. It is one of the most affordable and enjoyable options out there.

I really like IT, but it does suck to be in a "National Centric" division, and race against 1-3 other guys all season. IT Fest and ARRC are so nice that way. More competitors, and the best ones you can find.

Oh - and add 200# to every IT racer that writes and publishes a book.

If I were a king I would. force the implementation of using the area under the curve for both torque and horsepower for classifying cars.

I don't care ghow you do it.. just make it happen.; or off with your head!

Ohh and while your at it throw a coulpe lbs. on those pesky miatas.. (creepy laugh)

I would not change any rule for 5 years.
Other than that, I agree with Chris, promote awareness and interest in IT.

[tom91ita]

i'd appoint the K as jester of my royal court....

[Knestis]

...and Dave G. as your food taster.

Seriously - I'd make the SPEED Touring series for ITA-spec cars that are too new to be Regional IT eligible. And make it a National class to boot.

I'd strike rules that required significant fabrication (outside safety equipment) for the vast majority of cars (e.g., sphericals, splitters), and I'd allow additional mods for commonly-available bolt-on parts (e.g., motor mount inserts, short shifters).

And, just for the hell of it, I'd allow removal of the washer bottle. Hey, I'm the king, go pound sand. - GA

[RedMisted]

Anybody who knows me will remember my moan about triangulated strut tower braces.

As King, I decree that you may now attach little thingy bars from your stayrod over to your engine cowl....and immediately proceed to go to town with the resulting suspension upgrades!

This Idea I LOVE! If you did this with ITR instead of ITA you wouldn't really have to change the cars that are already running 328, TSX, etc.

> Go back to stock, unmodified ECUs OR full aftermarket with whatever sensors you want with free intake (i.e. remove MAF). No point in doing it half way.
> Allow the cage to be attached to as many points as you damn well please
> Allow unused wiring to be removed

I guess I don't have much to complain about. Hmm. Thats not bad.

First thing I would do as King for a Day is increase the Kings reign to a lifetime term, then I would get a bunch of Frickin sharks with Frickin laser beams to do away with all the King's naysayers. Then I'd make Jake Gulick try to outswim them cause I know he's a good swimmer, then I would make Greg Amy offially change his first name to The. I would also take away 4th and 5th gears from Andy and make him run LRP in an 8hr enduro. I would make Dave Gran race....I would give the Blethens and endless supply of duct tape for repairs......I would break the tip off of Ben Phillips' pen....I would give Crazy Joe a 360 degree bumper for his car like a bumper boat.

Limit all cars to a predetermined to a max and a min weight and then also a power to weight ratio.
Buy every region a rolling road Dyno and test every last one of the competitors for that hp to weight ratio.... (EDIT AT THE EVENT... after the race.

Same with SM.
