One sidelight here.

So, it looks like even the proponents of the move would agree the 944 can get within 75 lbs of the process weight.

Is there some point at which close enough is sufficient to justify leaving teh car in S? While perhaps irrelevant to teh process analysis, I would suggest that in my experience 75 lbs does not the difference between 1st and 2nd place make. Several championship winning cars in the SEDiv are close to that over their minimum weight. [/b]
Yes Jeff. That is what the ITAC CRB will wrestle with. Thisis part of the subjective part that I don't like but we do have to be practical. If the early chassis can get within 25lbs or so, do we move it? Do we 'risk' ITA? Remember, back when we did the big 'correction' in Feb or 06, cars were changed who were outside of 100lbs of the process - that was a lot more weight...

I guess the issue will come down to 'how close is close enough' - and that will affect our recommendation.
