I like the changes to the Mustang in ITS and the RX-8 in ITR!

So now we can run whatever sensors or air metereing devices we want, and chuck the stuff that came with the car?
"Item 1. Effective 1/1/10: Change section 9.1.3.D.1.a.6 as follows:
The engine management computer may be altered or replaced. A throttle position sensor and its wiring may be added or replaced. A
MAP or MAF sensor and its wiring may be added. Other existing sensors, excluding the stock air metering device, may be substituted
for equivalent units."

This is a clarification that appears in this fastrack:
1. Clarify section 9.1.3.D.1.a.4 by adding a sentence after the first sentence: “All air must also pass through the stock air metering
device, eg MAF, or AFM, etc if so equipped.”
Amusing note: talking about members/competitors unhappy with the shorter life of some safety harnesses. I'm glad that they do appear to be paying attention to us. I'm not so happy to hear that the information currently available is insufficient to make a decision one way or the other. Yet it was judged sufficient to change the rule a couple years ago.
At least they are taking the step to retain a professional auto safety expert to help resolve the issue.
Hope he/she's not an SFI member!?!
Don't forget also, in case anyone missed it - no more emails to the CRB for input, now there's a website form with tracking capabilities:

How the heck did the RX8 score that weight reduction???? Not loving that one bit :-(
Or more specifically - what was the criteria used that established this car should be at a lower weight than originally classed? That was over 100 pounds dropped...

Incorrect stock hp used initially. Lower than expected gain in IT trim, based on various dyno sheets received by the ITAC.

The RX-8 is now classed as it should have been, hopefully people will bring them out and boost ITR's numbers. The weight is as low as you could possibly attain in IT trim with a 200lb driver. Next should be the Fox body Mustangs in ITR.

I thought it was against the rules to change a cars weight?

I have heard the grumbling about the Fox Mustang v. the SN94, and have to remind you guys that the "perception" the Fox is at a disadvantage to the SN94 doesn't mean it gets a weight change.
We still do use the process on new cars, and the classed Fox and SN94 cars have essentially the same specs......and the differences aren't things we account for in the process.
So, barring some evidence that the IT gain in hp is different between the two, they will stay at the weights at which they are set.
