I've been lurking here for a while and following the debate (others might call it something else) regarding the apparent "overdog" status of the E36 325 in ITS.
I gather from various threads that the December Fastrack will be revelatory in this matter, but inquiring minds want to plan now.

The ITAC has a con-call on the 24th, then I will meet with the CRB on November 1st to discuss the plan...
I'm guessing that the CRB will want to post member notices on this stuff shortly there-after, and the BoD will make the final determination in December...
If the timing doesn't work out to get this plan implemented for 2006, then I'm not sure what happens after that... I did notice in the latest fastracks that there were several changes that seemed to be effective in the middle of the season... I'm hopeful that this won't be one of those...
Whether the BMW has to carry any additional weight next year at all has yet to be determined... It'll be up to the CRB as to whether or not they will accept our proposal... However, the car SHOULD weight at LEAST 3050-3100lbs to be correctly classified in ITS... And this weight is based on yet another letter that the CRB just received from a BMW racer who was kind enough to supply real HP figures for a typically prepared E36...
