Holy wow, Batman! Congratulations to the ITAC!! Too bad this didn't happen 4 years ago. I'd have a Neon and a little more money in my pocket! (well, OK, I'd just have a neon!

"Item 5. Based on the performance potential
of the 1982-84 Volkswagen Scirocco, the IT
Advisory Committee and the Club Racing
Board is recommending that the car be
reclassified from ITB to ITC, effective 1/1/05."

I thought someone said (in a previous thread) that only the 1.7L Sciroccos were headed to B?

This clearly implies ALL Sciroccos, since they were pretty explicate on the Rabbits:

"Item 10. Based on the performance potential
of the 1981-84 Volkswagen Rabbit 1.7L, the
IT Advisory Committee and the Club Racing
Board are recommending that the car be
reclassified from ITB to ITC, effective 1/1/05"

So am I off to C or staying with B?

We are working on a few that we hope to get in prior to the December BoD follow-up voting, aside from the above-mentioned correction and a correction to the new wheel allowances to place an "up to" between the "fit" and the "fifteen"...

Darin, Thanks for the info. It looks like a fine start, although I'd expected to see some ITA and ITS leveling weight adjustments. I guess there will always be more to come.

Thanks to the ITAC for all the hard work!

You're welcome...

Everyone keep in mind... PCAs are NOT Competition Adjustments, and were NOT meant as a means of making "everyone equal", or otherwise to "level" the fields... They are in place to prevent OVERDOG situations. When a car is reclassified, that is the legal IT means of a CA... The PCAs are there to correct that reclassification, should we get the weight wrong.

You may see some initial attempts to adjusts a few cars in their current class, but don't expect to see year-by-year adjustments like you do in Production. That's NOT what PCAs are, and is NOT how we intend to use them.

Still... looks like 2005 should be interesting to watch...

Mr. Blethen - remember that the real issue is in ITA (and to a lesser degree now, ITS) where 7" wide wheels are allowed. They are harder than hell to find. ITB-spec 14x6" options ? No problemo. In fact, the opposite is going to be true - 15x6" wheels are pretty rare.

Sorry to go off topic for a second...

Darin,
I sent in a request to move the 88-91 Civic/CRX DX to ITB about 3 weeks ago. I did this about an hour before my computer crashed, taking my hard drive and all the comparison numbers I had dug up with it.

Did you guys get that request? I've sent a couple of emails to the board asking this very same question but have gotten no response.
I just want to know if I need to resend the request. I think I actually posted my numbers on here somewhere, so I can probably dig them up for a cut and paste.

This was one of those "That car is obviously in the wrong class" situations (aka: low fruit) and I was hoping this could maybe get on the list for 2005.
I know I know... But I always aim big.

You might want to check with Jeremy Theonnes, Tech Manager, Club Racing ( [email protected] ), or his assistant, John Bauer ( [email protected] )...

I haven't seen any letters concerning this group of cars as of yet. Jeremy or John usually posts them on our SCCA ITAC site for review as soon as they process them and assign them a number, and, like I said, we haven't seen this particular one yet...

Definately follow up...

Good Luck!

Yes Darrin, that is an obvious necessary correction.

I spent some time looking at batteries on the Internet today...

(This is cool; haven't had this much fun since we were allowed to remove passenger seats)

Cheers.

You can thank the CRB for that one... We had no idea they were going to do that...

Can you even GET a gel-cel automotive battery that is "approximately" the same weight as a stock one???

Optimas are not real lightweights.

I'm going to check them all, however.
 
Yeah Baby!!!!! Waaahoo!

Time for daddy to buy the baby Prelude some new running shoes! (or Hoosiers?)

It is great to see the Civics moved to ITA. That and the other car changes should open the doors for many people to more easily become involved in club racing with vehicles that they have easy access to.

Can’t wait to order the “B” for my car. (I’m just a bit excited)
