All...

I'm just wondering if anyone knows how the SCCA would class a diesel rabbit (1.6NA) under the IT regulations.
I looked last night and can't seem to find anything in the class listings.

I know it seems like a crazy idea, but I've been working on a few of the VW diesels lately and I have a new respect for them. After putting a turbo diesel in my rabbit truck, I wanted to check out the classings for a rabbit TD (made by the factory in 83/84), but I think I know the answer to that one... Turbo probably bumps it out into ITE or something.

An older friend of mine seems to remember some team running a diesel rabbit at the Nelson's Ledge's enduro races way back when... not sure what class that was though.

Obviously the rabbit diesel would be somewhat down on power, but even the NA rabbits can be "turned up" a bit by playing with the injection pump... that is, if those adjustments are legal under the rules. Suspension is not an issue since that portion is just like the gasser GTI's... the transmission ratios might be a problem though.
