So, the CRB is reviewing the entire ITB class. Any target date on when that review might be complete?
what JEff said. the point is to stop doing piecemeal adjustments that have ripple effetcs of annoyance and anger and figure it all out to process (or come as close as we can) and drop a big ol change all at once, with months between its release and going into effect so everyone can prepare.
we recognize that it sucks for the guys who didn't get in before the review started or whos competitors didn't. it might even look unfair. but we feel it became necessary to do this.

STAC: So if the 13B is allowed at 2589, is the resultant weight in a rwd car 2654?

OK thanks. I used 2.5% instead.
Just to make sure we're on the same page, you know RWD is 3.5% now? Nov Fastrack, I think. - GA

Ya, I was just using old numbers by mistake and I should have connected the '2680 ITS RX-7 / 13B in anything' dots.
I was contemplating a 13B in my 'Otter but 350lbs of lead is just so much.

- ITA and ITS cars can compete at their IT weights and prep.
- Open-prep 12A-equipped cars must weigh 2150#; if installed into a RWD chassis add 3.5%
- Open-prep 13B-equipped cars must weigh 2589#; if installed into a RWD chassis add 3.5%
STU
No changes.
'Cause no one asked...?

Cause the planet doesn't have enough lead for ballast?

Ironic. Just got down to writing a letter this evening (nice to be done with school again!). Would it be helpful, or just noise, given this development?

Any data or additional information for ITB would be helpful -- so please write in. It's just likely you will get a response that we are considering your letter as part of the overall review of ITB.
Like Chip said, we really felt like we were hurting the class with multiple piecemeal changes, so we are going to try to address a bunch of stuff in one fell swoop.
WRite in though, it always helps guys like me who know nothing about some of these cars get up to speed.
Thanks.

Particularly if you can supply us not just with info, but with sources of info where we can find and verify things. If we have to make a case one way or another for a specific situation, it helps to have independent sources to back things up.
And if anyone has real good factual info about things like Alfas, Fiats, MGs, and Opels, it would help to fill in some info. There is some knowledge about some of the lesser known cars, but it's difficult to get verification on things.

Yeah Newb, read the rules. Its not a class for Rotary's. They will let you race, but dont do anything to the motor.
You can install a rotary into say a Miata, but you stil cant build power. Its a Reciprocating Piston Engine class.
Dont go getting crazy, Im just kidding around Greg. Good job on getting some wieght off the car.

Curious Greg, why did the 13B get classed with the exact weight of the ITS RX7 (2680) in an ST class? It can also compete in ITS trim at that weight so why bother?
I did. I was trying to make a point... Why play favorites? Why not the rest of ITA and ITS? And B and C while we are at it. If there are any C cars over 2L...
In other news...
And why are some STO cars slowed down for T1 and some are not? And why were the existing GT2 cars sped up, but the STO cars added were not, even though much evidence implies the performance potential WAS the same? And am I the only one that thinks it looks like the Touring and GT boys are fighting over the STO cars?
