This is something I've been toying with doing for a long time but now that I've had a chance to be involved directly in the ITAC, I'd like to find a way to build a historical archive of the IT rules. To that end, I want to come up with a scheme to archive every old ITCS, going back to the very...

We've got our entry in but unfortunately, we had one of our driving crew posted to an active Navy job the other side of the country. This leaves the Conover Motor Sports VW short a shoe so if you're interested in a seat, get in touch with me. Kirk

Those of you who have been watching developments in safety equipment rules will be interested in http://rsicommunity.org - the Racing Safety Institute (RSI) online community. After quite a bit of conversation and mulling over of options, it's been decided to create a development community, much...

Any of you MkIII types got a source for the correct ratio 4th gear pair to use with the output shaft and final drives from earlier cars? It's a .97 that came in 1978-1908 FO, FF, FN, and FH transmissions. We're building another gearbox and need parts again. Another idea is that this might be a...

An acquaintance purchased an e30 with "CM" on the side. It's got some wacky stuff (2.8 diesel crank?) so it's not an IT car but I'm hoping someone can give me a primer on BMWCCA rules so I'll know where to look for stuff that needs to be addressed... Thank you Ignorant in WV

Is the content of all of the discussions we had when ITR was coming together still buried in here somewhere? There's some interest among ITAC members in learning about the intent and processes first-hand. K EDIT- DAMMIT. Either I'm really dumb tonight or this forum is smarter than I am. I...

Never mind - right in front of me. K

Someone here (I'm sorry my memory sucks) was kind enough to provide me with pages from the ETKA that illustrated gearbox letter codes available in MkIII Golves/Jettae, and the parts lists indicating which ratios went in which 'box. Unfortunately - because I was particularly interested in a '96...

I was posting an opinion about something just now and it occurred to me that some of you (most, probably) don't know that I'm now on the ITAC. I'm going to do my very best to adhere to the high standard set by other ITAC members re: using tools like it.com to plumb the mood of IT racers, while...

I'm baffled by the simplest things. When the re-licensing rules require me to "submit a current physical exam... every three (3) years" if I'm between 40 and 49 years old... ...and my last physical on record is dated 11 Jan 2006... ...then I don't need one until January of 2009, right? K

<div align="center"> You can be part of Team Pablo (that's our Golf above, if you're new to it.com) by renting an enduro seat ride, driver school, or regional race or program. Class wins at the Longest Day 24 and ARRC show that Pablo is a great car over long distances or in a sprint race...

...if I can bloody well help it. I've resigned myself to the fact that SCCA is putting its own interests ahead of my safety so I'm shopping for a new suit. Anyone know of US retailers who sell suits with FIA homologation but WITHOUT SFI patches? K

The RX8 and V8 conversations in the ITR thread has me thinking again about the "not enough torque to tighten my lugnuts" issue that some cars face, and the impact of that reality on classing/spec'ing IT cars. I'm wondering if maybe we're missing a bet here... Dynos actually measure torque...

As one of the people given moderator power on this site, it really pisses me off when someone else with those same powers (aka rights and responsibilities) chooses to lock a topic seemingly because it offends their sensibilities. Bill asked us to please police this community to delete autobot...

It's the Libertarian in me I guess, but why lock threads? I've got super-duper mod power - should I be using it more often? What's up? K

(Burlington, NC) Big news out of Conover Motor Sports World HQ today is that Bowie Gray will be driving Kirk Knestis' ITB Golf in the ARRC sprint race. The car's been updated with IT-spec head work, an adjustable FPR, and a newly optimized compression ratio - much to the team's chagrin. Knowing...

We lost a couple of crew members to work commitments so have a slot or two left on the pass list. If you'd be interested in crewing for the Longest Day at Nelson Ledges next weekend (race runs from afternoon on the 25th to afternoon of the 26th), have the mad skilz in a handy area of specialty...
