You jumped in and automatically assumed that some one in IT Honda's was going to cheat.
ICP Citation does Formula cars, not IT. Since your question about legality, he has asked SCCA about the legality issue in IT. He didn't have to take his precious time to do this and be up front in posting the answers.
For me, my Honda CRX ITA car was not legal after the first week we brought it home. legal in GT, lapping days and NASA for sure. We are not planning on running in any SCCA class. If I did it would be in a Formula car, like the last time I was in SCCA some 31 years ago.
Again, you assumed that this was for IT, FYI there are Honda IT racers that do more than SCCA race events,like NASA and solo classes where the hubs would be legal. Maybe they would like to be safer in those events.
I'm not putting my son in a car at speed with critical parts that routinely fail. Period.
Right now we have interest from guys in GT, Solo, Street (275hp to the front), and drag racing etc.
Also, What's with the German Flags?, Why no American flag? I hear that Vee Dubs are also breaking hubs, Why aren't you trying to fix that dangerious situation?
Knowing Kirk, I think he was making sure people understood this could be considered a questionable process and not looking to protest anyone. in fact, I'm sure if you had a decal on your car saying it had hardened hubs he still wouldn't care enough to protest it. He's also saying just because one person in SCCA (no matter who it is) says it's legit doesn't mean there couldn't be a protest and that it is up held by another group of people.
Tom, you know that if a part (or process) is protested, it ain't gonna be denied based on it being a "safety" issue. I'm not debating whether this is a legal process or not, but you can't justify something by playing the safety card. it's just like the BMW rear shock mounts that were being reinforced for "safety" reasons. It's bullshit.
We pick our cars, warts and all.
