Ummm, yes, errr, no, welll, maybe.
Not knowing if it's a SEDiv thing or an IT7 attitude and only speaking only for myself the whole "in the spirit of IT" aspect of having or keeping certain rules does not hold a lot of credence with me and from what I have seen around here some others as well. The only reason I do this is to have fun and
if some BS rule gets in the way of that I push it aside. Same goes
if someone protests me. They get pushed aside.
Like others down here
I have a history of not taking kindly to being told what I can and can not do. It stems from knowing I will not be able to effect change without influencing some distant group who obviously does not feel the same way I do so why waste my time trying. Instead,
I do what I want, when I want, and if someone bitches about it I have only two words for them and generally speaking it ain't "I'm sorry".
This being said my car for the most part is legal. There may be some vestigial street parts that have not made it back on the car yet and won't until I get a little closer to being competitive. Even still I'm 60# overweight and at 6'2" and 190# this driver can only lose so much weight.
As far as promoting the IT rules I fully support changing any of the rules to make them more attractive to a new, younger group of drivers in an effort to make IT the most desirable group to race in and help turn around the stagnant rate of growth in the SCCA. I understand the purpose of the ITAC and respect them for their values and persistence even while not fully agreeing with their position. At the same time
I have to do what is best for me.
