Has there ever been any consideration in SCCA to have a forced induction class? It appears that, at present, SCCA doesn't class many turbo cars which is very curious to me. It seems to me (an outside observer) that many of the up-and-coming young folks are into cars running turbos. Some of these...

I've been wanting to build an ITS car for several years now. I've considered almost all RWD cars that are ITS leagal and keep coming back to the 280ZX. Other ITS "candidate" cars I've owned include Porsche 944's (turbo, so not real ITS), Nissan 240SX, Nissan 280ZX, 300ZX, and 2 Honda Preludes. I...

I've been sitting on the sidelines and learning as much as I can about amateur road racing with the intent of jumping in soon. I've looked closely at NASA CMC and also IT in SCCA and spec Miata and RX7. I'm leaning towards IT because I'm not sure I want to race a big bore, heavy American car in...

The GCR states that 79-83 280ZX running ITS must use rear brake drums. If I'm not mistaken these cars all came with rear discs from 79-83. If this is the case does it mean I'd have to back-date my brakes to 280Z specs? Or am I missing something (quite possible ;-) Thanks, Scott

What's the status ot ITS in the SW? Last race at TMS there were only about 3 ITS cars. I'd like to build one and begin racing, but I'm not sure there would be much to race with. Are there any initiatives under way to recruit more drivers? I'm considering racing in NASA CMC as well. They have a...

I'm thinking of building a 240SX KA24DE for ITS in the near future. I have just finished a 944 Turbo for PCA, but now can't afford to race it (long story). I have a few questions that I'd like to get some input on. Any advice is appreciated: 1. Oil pan baffles - One of the things that has...

There are specific classes to race Ferraris, Vipers, Porsche 996's, and Boxsters but not one to race a 944 Turbo? I mean specific classes, not free-for-all classes like ITE or SPO. Not sure I see the logic there.

I have an opportunity to buy one real cheap. I'd like to turn it into a race car. The car is not specifically listed in the GCR. My local region (Texas) says the rules for ITE do not permit the 944 turbo to run in that class because of engine size (turbo 2.5L). Is it possible to run the car in...

I'm considering building a 944 turbo to race in PCA class F and SCCA ITE. The GCR doesn't specifically cover ITE, but it is implied that IT rules govern the ITE class. My question is that the IT rules specify no tire width greater than 7". The stock rims on the car are greater than 7". Can I not...
