Cameron split the gearbox case this week and figured out - pretty quickly - why we lost 3-5th gears at the VIR 13. The pic above shows approximately half of the output shaft, which has broken right at the root of the spline between 2nd and 3rd gears. The circular crystalized looking bit about...

We've got an initial calendar set for our enduro season, available for interested parties at... http://it2.evaluand.com/gti/events07.php I've costed out seats and have at least one available for each of the six events on that list so if you want more information, get in touch. We can do a...

(from roadrace-autox.com) I LOVE IT! K

A couple of Q's for those of you with real Dynojet experience... 1. What would cause some power/rpm line graphs to be very much wigglier than others? We aren't talking about the difference between smoothing values of 1 and 5, but seriously wavey lines. Is it reflective of something in the test...

Okay - which of the 3-series sedans is the best starting point for an ITR car, if any have an advantage? ** 325 vs. 328 vs. 330? ** Coupe vs. 4-door? Assume I know next to nothing about models and features (you'd be right). The car would actually be enduro-focused... Kirk

With just the VIR 13 left to worry about this year, we're getting a jump start on the 2007 season. Our plan is to make an even bigger commitment to club-level enduros, traveling farther up and down the Atlantic coast for the long races. If you are interested in being part of an effort like...

It's official - the Conover Engines/PhilsTireService.com ITB Golf is going to run the USERA twin 3-hour enduros, sharing the bill with the Grand Am Cup 6-hour races at VIR, October 6-8. My codriver for the weekend will be California NASA Pro Truck frontrunner Troy Lindstrom. Troy's also got...

I know a guy who's having trouble selling his blue "M" type Z3 soft-top. I'm not a Bimmer guy and don't know all of the details but if you are looking for one, email me kirk.knestis (at) evaluand.com - it's in Greensboro, NC Kirk

There's been suggestions that ITR is the "wrong direction" for the category so I thought it would be interesting to think about what other directions IT - or something spiritually its equivalent - might look like. This isn't such an odd quesiton for a reformed NERD to ask, since I've resigned...

Mr. Dewhurst suggested elsewhere that he's seen a decrease in traffic here in the last few months, and wondered if it was influenced by the new system... FWIW, while I'm not a fan of the sub-topic structure, I don't think that's been an influence on my posting rate, personally. Instead, I don't...

My loyal crew guy is not available that weekend so I'm looking for someone in or around Greensboro, NC who wants to go racing. VW and/or racing experience is helpful but NOT necessary. Primary responsibility will be driving a mini-van with stuff in it to and/or from the track. We'll either camp...

Someone at http://roadrace-autox.com pointed out that non-IT.com members can't see the classifieds. Seems like, to maximize exposure there, it would be a good idea if anyone could see what was posted. I can see restricting posting rights. Just a thought. K

:) This - and any other strand anyone wants to start - should serve as a place to air questions, concerns, input, etc. re: the ITR effort. Trust me - it ain't all that exciting in the super-secret closed thread. It was created to provide an easily managed space for the discussion of logistical...

Question for you ETKA gurus out there... Is there just one, or did MORE than one spec of cam come in MkIII Golfs? (Golves?) I'm talking among US-only, spec-line legal cars. I have evidence that seems to suggest the latter... K

I'm afraid that the tide of opinion has well and truly turned in the last few weeks. We conservative rules literalists - Rules NERDs - are pretty much extinct. Our propositions seem no longer valid in the current context - that (1) the framers of the IT rules would have expressly included...

I've come to the conclusion that the sub-forums (e.g., FasTrack) don't actually enhance my surfing pleasure. It's just that much harder to get to stuff and is complicated by the fact that folks don't always think critically about where they start topics. That is compounded by our collective...

Pretty cool to see another MkIII registered for the Summit 12 hours. How about planning ahead to do a pit space cooperative, since it seems like we always get jammed up in the pits anyway? Kirk

Seriously. Actually reading the radio rule (thanks for that, Geo) has spun me completely off of my axis. Someone needs to open Word and write a new rulebook for IT, with a clear statement of intentions and resolution of all of the inconsistent, silly stuff that's in that book. No more of this...

...that we have been reminded of the problems that arise from those pages of the GCR, how about this: Anti-Roll Bar (Sway bar) - A torsion control device connected to a car’s structure, and to moving portions of the suspension, which is intended to control body roll. (Some types of ARB may also...
