ITR proposal made it into the latest SCCA Fastrack, and was CRB approved!

For those not in the loop, the Improved Touring R class was made to hold some restrictor-plate BMW's in ITS, and some other cars not competitively classable in ITS. This includes the Integra Type R. Since the head is "hand ported", and porting heads is illegal, there's some grumblings about the Type R not making it into ITR class. But, it's there for now, and it's light.

For those of you non-racers, expect a market value for Integra Type R's to go up about 0.5% as demand rises.


From another board:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfinished list of current cars. Some of them are already in ITS, and some are good former Grand Am chassis that can be purchased and converted relatively easily to IT spec. We think the class will take off pretty quick.
I left off spec weights because they are still in-process, but the lightest car in the class IIRC is the Type R. I think the BMW 330 and the s2000 are the heaviest.

Honda S2000 00-03
Porsche Boxster Base 97-99
BMW Z3 97-00
Porsche 911SC 78-83
Porsche 968 93-97
Porsche 944S2 89-91

Acura RSX-S 02-04
BMW 325 92-95
BMW 330i 00-04

Ford Contour SVT 98-00
Nissan Maxima 00-01
BMW 328i/328is 96-99
Nissan 300z 89-96
Toyota Supra 87.5-92
Ford Taurus SHO 89-95
Toyota Supra 93-97
Honda Prelude 97-01
BMW 325i 95-00
Honda Prelude 93-96


Acura Legend 91-95
Chevy/Pontiac Camaro/Firebird 97-99
Lexus SC300 92-00
Mercedes SLK 00-03
Mazda 6 02-04
BMW 635 83-84
Acura Type R Integra 98-01
Lexus IS300 01-05
Acura TSX 04-06
BMW M3 88-91
Mitusbishi 3000GT SL 94-99
Mitsubishi 3000GT nonturbo 91-93

The list is still incomplete and some things have been removed (thus the gaps), but this list is pretty much the core of where the class will start.

Anybody got a TSX laying around that they aren't using?

 

OMG!!!!!!!!!

Yeah!! We owe Giles and company some beer.

Too bad we'll never see Wai's Spoon R in this series. For a few reasons:

-It's a 1996 (1997 ITR's weren't classed in this one, hmm...)
-It's JDM (JDM not classed in SCCA/NASA)
-Illegal motor
-Probably underweight

Oh, sorry Wai, and sorry 1997 ITR owners. This rule is not for you.
Oh, and sorry to me, my cage is stitch welded along the bottom of the hoop. That'll take some delicate cutting to undo.. unless it's legal and I'm missing something

Oh, and the weight is 2525. I have 200 lbs of turbo to lose. I'm 2520 without driver after a race.

 

Great News! Giles and co done good!

WHYYYYYY is 97 not on the list? that is very strange and arbitrary.

"I'm thinking the 1997 is going to be excluded (unless we find something strong that states otherwise) because the video I just sent to the ITAC states that the head was hand ported until 1998. Ugh... This is getting worse, not better, as we go. "

 

What the hell? No love for the DX?

Is that a 1992-1995 Civic DX? If so, it's ITA.

My goodness - you do have some extra weight in there...I'm down to 2395 without me & the extra MOMO seat (3 gallons of gas left)

joo got a little more power though

yeah chris.. you've got a lot of weight you can shave.. I think you just found a(nother) good reason to come back to NA.. H2 and SCCA ITR!

the weight is perfect for me.. my car weighs 2540ish with driver and with a half tank of gas and no ballast right now.. and I have a track to race at 15 minutes from my house..

I still plan to run honda challenge predominantly though.. but can't wait to see if this gets finalized by the board!

I think I've got ~40-50lbs on you thanks to some double-stuff oreos in my past. Outside of that, I still have power windows & mirrors - I'm sure that could shave another 20-30lbs to get us in the same ballpark. Hmmmmm, maybe my stock wing is heavier than your 747 wing?

hehe.. yeah.. i think that would put my car at about 2370ish without me (I weigh about 170 on any given day).. and I'm sure my wing is heavier since its Mugen bling these days..

Dang dude - I've got 60lbs on you then...I'm 230 = fat & happy

50lbs = ~1 second/lap some placed I better work on my driving...it's easier than losing weight.
