STU in 2010 runoffs

[xr4racer]

Any IT car newer than 1985 can now go to the runoffs next year. They will not be competitive, but they can go. Many cars 1990 and newer can be converted to a full STU car and maybe be competitive.

THAT IS EXACTLY what I was thinking!!!! CRASH the RUNOFFS!!!

Hell Yeah! We could have our secret "IT" race at the Runoffs distinguished as STU

Put all the other classes to shame

[Andy Bettencourt]

Can you imagine if 50 IT cars showed up and made the participation numbers of the other classes look silly?

And, get Bob Zecca involved to make it the final, unofficial Pro-IT series championship finale, complete with prizes for all individual unoffical STU sub-classes (e.g., STUr, STUs, STUa, STUb, STUc...)

Damn, we're good.

Bet it gets shut down last minute, though. I can only IMAGINE the reaction of the BoD member that's covertly reading this thread right now...

I could imagine the numbers! It would be sweet. Who wouldnt want to go to the National Championship Runoffs???

I'm going to petition to run STFU.

I would so be there... too bad my car's WAY too old.

Guess I'll just have to bring the DSR!

I love the idea. But after looking at the HP field this year, I may just run my B car there. It should have been good for 6th as it sits, and would get faster if I just pulled the weight and dropped in a cam.

Greg - the way I read the rules, you prep to STU or IT specs. No mixing and matching. So be careful with the 'optimization plan'.

If this plan to show up en mass for STU were to become real, I may seriously do it though...

Oh, sure, I understand that. But, if there's no incentive to stay within the ITx rules (e.g., "Pro-IT" spiffs) and the car meets the minimum safety requirements for a full-up STU car, then why not go play? The car would not be competitive with a full-up STU car, but I know we can get another 30 some odd ponies for DiMinno's car with a few bolt-ons, and I can imagine there's more than a few tricks out there for the Acura GS-R engine...

My ITA car is 100% FP legal; only needs a "FP" slapped on the side of it. I'm also pretty sure that in the 30 car deep FP Runoffs race, I could've finished about 16th in my ITA car as it sits. If I were to put slicks on it, pull a little weight out of it, and put the cam in it? Well, might be interesting to see, and I think it would be a lot more fun that running against four other cars in STU. JMHO.

What is up with STU that causes it to be 85 and newer?
