You can join our 200tw class inside the ITS and ITR race group 
. ITR cars will be assigned a weight based on its power to weight as if it was in ITS...
That's the idea so far for next year...

Make it 180TW. I used 200 arbitrarily as a discussion point. 180 gets you lots more choices, but still hits the goals.

In July of 2011 someone showed up to the NHMS SCCA racing school with that car. He just bought it.
I remember the car spinning in almost every corner. Something was broken in the suspension, but he continued to drive it and I think he even completed the school. I may even have footage of a spin or two if I searched.

After all the time and effort you've put into building IT7?!?!?
Buy it, and use it as a rental or "double dip" car.

Thats the last entry in the log book, The owner now, bought it from him and ran COM for a year or so.
Thinking the deal is too good to pass on, even if I flip it. although ITS on BFG Rivals may not be that bad, still pump gas, newer suspension HMMMMMMM

FWIW, my annual tire budget is about 2 sets of tires per year. BFG R1 takeoffs last freakin FOREVER!!
I have a set on my car now that I've run in 4-5 double race weekends, and then just double-drove the thing with a friend at an event last weekend. There's probably 20 hours on that set and I still have tons of rubber left, and they aren't showing signs of slowing down. They're no Hoosier, but they're way better than an R888..

Albert is a friend of ours form NH, It is the car he bought. Its a fairly decent package with a ton of spares.
I do think its was the car from Greenwich, only due to logbook pictures. Was interested who built it and why they sold it. Like was it folded in half and pieced back together with duct tape. There is a video of it bouncing off the tire wall at NHMS but thats not that bad. Thats were the friendly wavy body work is form.

If the logbook shows SCCA Driver school at NHMS in 2011 as the last entry then I can tell you the car was only scratched and banged here and there after the event.
The video I sent you is basically what I have been seeing all weekend long. That guy purchased the car and from the first lap he had handling problems. I remember seeing a broken (fully) left rear control arm or some kind of suspension component.
He probably gave up racing after that school due to all the spins and wall contact, but the car was still OK. I would not worry too much as long as the car is straight.

I said race it from the start!!! So come to ITS and play with us. And we might even get this 200tw tire thing to work for next year. Stephen Blethen and i were talking the other night as we finished the vinyl on the bimmer. I think he has a very good idea with this whole thing and it would be a fun thing to try!!!
