ITE etc

[#74]

Yes, that is another interesting point, although we have no problems with it since our IT classes must race with a mono-class tire.

I was wondering (and thinking the best) would be to have two separate ITE for over and under 3 liters

In practice though, there are few ITE cars and less classes is better for scheduling a race weekend. There have never been any problems with ITE as it exists in the SE.

PR has a different mix of built cars than SARRC. the Caribbean series car rules are pretty open and local culture is much more in line with drag racing / free rules tuning than structured and limited IT rules.

Do what you guys need to do to get car son track and people having a good time, but maybe consider the south east's SPU/O setup where production safety rules and over+ turbo and under 2.5L is the threshold.

74, maybe these will help; http://www.ogren-engineering.com/ite...an-racing.html

There is a break for engine size and the rest is pretty open.
More so than ITE that was based upon World Challenge cars and not really based at all on anything other than not fitting any other IT rules.
We did have a new guy with a car that had no fire system and they(**** nice guys in tech****) fit him into the ITE class for that reason. HTH, MM

In our road racing rules, for many years it has been properly structured. In the 80's the Caribbean and Central America (and most of South America) raced under IMSA rules, so we all could race from one place to another with the same classes. Things became complicated when different countries adopted rules from different sanctions and even created their own. That kind of took a toll on the heyday of Caribbean/Central America racing.
Of course, theres some very creative rules going on right now in Jamaica, Barbados and Guyana (and even a series amongst them) but PR has adopted SCCA rules. Even so, we have steadily and strongly added cars (more so in the last 6-9 months) by listening and accepting. But good or bad, restrictive or not, this is what we have and what we need to work with. Now, pairing up with Dominican Republic rules (so we can race against each other is gonna be another story)

I have a few clients in the DR.(data, parts , setups) They spend piles of money compared to SCCA IT.
The DR has very light cars with lots of carbon, glass, lexan etc. Not at all like SCCA IT rules . More like SCCA Production cage, suspension, bodywork, with stock drivelines.
Stock gear sets, stockish engine with rules that promote carbs on modern engines. (weight break). The final straw, DOT tires !! Pretty sure that run Kumho XS or similar.

These rules are the close; http://worldracingleague.org/
They are simply # per pound. BMW gets the advantage here due to overachieving the rated HP.
If you don't have the DR rules let me know and I will get them to you.

They race DTS which is kinda a BTCC deal, RS (as IMSA) and a couple Spin offs from what we used to race PM, (modified production) called TN and ST

GT3 and RS can be matched
ITA and ST (I believe) could work as well..

Or we can use the STL/STU base and work it out..

But first we are working on our own to make it grow..
