... has anyone ever seen a Volkswagen Beetle (the real ones, not the New ones) in IT trim? They are listed in ITC, though there is no published weight. I have a friend who has a wild hair about building one. I keep telling him that the drum brakes would be the death of the car if nothing else got him first. Just curious if anyone has gone down that path before.

Here in the SEDIV, Benjamin Hinson drove one for a few races back in 2000. Here's a link to the Kershaw results:

Benjamin was only 16 or 17 yrs old if I recall and he built the car with the help of his dad. It wasn't particular fast but it was cool!
