Just a quick note to let folks know that entry will be opening soon for the Cen-Div elective event. More info here: http://www.improvedtouring.com/forums/showthread.php?p=338633#post338633

A quick note to all of the mid-West IT racers that the Kettle Moraine double regional at Road America on August 25-26 has been selected as an elective event for the 2012 Cool Shirt ITNT. Supps are being finalized now, and I will post up when registration opens. What is the ITNT you ask? A...

It may be a bit less exciting than Germany in 1990, but I found this question posed on the Chicago Region website club racing page: http://scca-chicago.com/road-racing/ In my opinion the split into two divisions was a mistake. I would like to see the divisions explore what it would mean and...

Anyone notice the new changes in A2 and A3 level 2 prep cars in production in fast track? The 16v cars moved down from E to F and the A3 got more compression and cam. I wonder how well those would fit there now. Before this I had figured the A1 had a shot in F as a level 1 car, and the A1 and...

Every time I look at this rule set, I think the only way to consider a VW product would be with something like the 125hp 1780cc 20v, or the 130hp 1984cc 20v. Is there a chance that these motors will become viable options? The PL and 9A 16v heads were literally evolved from the counter flow 8v...

I am sure there are divided opinions on this. The request is pasted below. What do folks think? Request Details Title: Allow replacement wiring Category: IT Class: IT Car: none Request: Please provide an allowance to remove or replace wires and connectors in vehicle and engine wiring...

Anyone in the market for an ITA car with "ported head and special racing cams"? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1989-Volkswagen-GTI-race-car-SCCA-ITA-certified_W0QQitemZ280461654428QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRace_Cars_Not_Street_Legal_?hash=item414cd1399c :happy204: Actually a decent deal for a car that...

I have considered it myself a few times. On paper it seems the aero will be slightly better, with a nicer rear window angle, a trunk to fill the void behind the window and reduce the vacuum there and if a 4 door, smaller side windows open to the wind stream. Theory is great and all, but has...

The 2005 Jetta will be IT eligible next year. That power level seems like it could fit ITS, but that fat weight may say otherwise. What do you ITACers think? I wonder just how hard it will be to make the brakes work and be IT legal...

Now that there are some race results, how do the contenders look for this years Improved Touring Driver's Championship? Rich Walke looks like he had a good weekend at Mid-Ohio, and he has won the Cen-Div series for the past few years, so he should be a strong contender in ITS if he makes it...

Chicago Region is hosting a PDX at Autobahn from 5pm to dark on July 31. Registration is $100 A great chance to do some testing, play with your street car, or help a crew member have some fun ON track for a change. Details can be found at the chicago region website...

OK - We are all aware that under the update/backdate rule, when it comes to motors the assembly is considered to be the long block with the head and bottom end together. What about the other components? For instance intake manifold on a later motor has an additional mounting boss for a...

Fast track is out. http://www.scca.com/documents/Fastrack/09/03/09-fastrack-march.pdf I didn't ask for 'clarification' of the air dam rule. I asked for it to be changed. But either way - status quo rules. Yes I still think its dumb to allow any air dam, but require stock ones to remain in...

My buddy Shawn took some pictures and is putting them into a gallery here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shawnmanny/collections/72157608878602146 Not everything is up yet, but will be soon.

I just want to make sure I have this right. Pit stops will be monitored by making sure that the two laps surrounding the pit stop total more than 2x fastest lap + 4min 14sec. Seems odd that it is not using 5min 14sec as the adder, so I want to double check. Here is what is stated in the...

Unfortunately I had to give up a very clean Jetta shell that I was holding on to as a floor donor. Are floor panels still available? If yes, where can I find them without being hurt in the wallet too bad? thanks,

Seriously? I don't know a whole lot of ITB and ITC cars that bring a pit vehicle to tow their car around ala GT1. Considering that IT motors are street legal, muffled engines, are they still considered a race engine, and restricted from being fired before we try to drive on track for on of our...

Can someone help me contact Doug Spencer (black ITA Nissan 240, GLDiv). I have lost his info. Thanks.

Anyone racing at Gateway this weekend that will be heading back to or through Chicago area on Sunday? I have a transmission at Chuck Mathis' shop that I would like to install before the night before the IT Fest. I see Jessica Chuang on the entry list for ITA, and she is local to us. Anyone...
