Yes there is. I have to say that is how I picked ITS three years ago. Not because I thought I was fast, good, or anything else. But I figured if I was going to do something then I was going "all in". I now realize that this thinking was quite, how shall I say it, stupid, but I was naive about the entire scene. And I'm not afraid to admit it. Lots of things I'd do different now but that would be quite an essay.

It appears that the ITA group is mainly the FWD cars - hot hatches, Hondas, and so on. ITA seems to be populated with folks that enjoy these cars or maybe grew up driving them. I never owned a front wheel drive car until about four years ago so I was more interested in the "old school" S cars.

My guess is ITA could be highly appealing to new young racers who are used to the FWD cars and like hotting them up, except that the average modern FWD car has more stock horsepower than can be comfortably classed in ITA.
