You guys are slipping, these have been out for a few days:

Minutes here
Tech bulletin here


IT highlights:

• Wheel diameter proposal goes to BoD.
• ITB Golf gains 45 lbs.
• Letter both for & against "inconsequential items" removal...hmmm.
• ITAC wants you.
• Lots of ST clarifications, etc.
• Nobody wants their class combined with another at the Runoffs. (I'm shocked)

Not me they don't.

It took what, three years of me agitating to get the MkIII adjusted...? I don't even remember now when I started on the ITAC.

No offence but WAHOO!!! "ITB Golf gains 45 lbs." !!!!! Can they add a few to ITB volvo's also? LOL... Rabbits may have a chance!

Guys so we are all clear this is not a competition adjustment. This car got a 50 lb deduct for a beam axle it should not have when it was processed and weighted.

This is simply a correction.

And still nothing on motor/trans mounts?? Chuck

[JeffYoung]

Chuck, we are working on it. I think we've been as up front about this as we can.

chuck i'm going to say this as politely as i can;

you and everyone else need to quit you're bitching. it's a rule change that won't be in effect until 2012, so it doesn't make a lick of difference if it's in fastrack today or 3 months from now. no amount of nagging from you or anyone else is going to make it go any faster.

The Golf III doesn't have a twist beam rear axle?

it does. I think that he meant it recieved a weight break for it that it should not have, and that that has been fixed.

The mythology was that it received a 50# break for "bad rear suspension." We clarified that's silly on a fwd car. Frankly, i think it just got a weight thrown at it when it was listed, since it was the era of the "soft" process.

Yep. Just like the Rabbit/Scirocco and Golf/Jetta 2 and others.
No one gets a weight break for it.
