Revised ITR classification chart, and a summary of this year's proposed rules changes, including our favorite, the H&N SFI requirement. The BoD will be voting on these in August, so we still have a chance to get in our Board member's ear one more time.

"Item 6. Effective 1/1/07: change section 17.1.4.D.9.l to read as follows:
Ballast may be used. All ballast shall be located in the front passenger footwell/seating area, aft of the firewall and any footwell angle, and
forward of the aft-edge of the forward-most passenger-door opening, unless otherwise specified on the vehicles IT specification line OEM front
passenger seat location.
1. It shall be in segments no heavier than fifty (50) pounds, and shall be capable of being removed to be weighed apart from the car.
2. Each segment shall be fastened with a minimum of two (2) one-half (1/2) inch bolts and positive lock nuts of
SAE Grade 5 or better, and shall utilize large-diameter, load-distributing washers.
3. Holes may be drilled in the front passenger footwell/seating area floor pan for purposes of mounting the ballast (only), and said floor pan may
be reinforced as required for the same purpose."

Im curious, why is it still 1/1/07?
Great job on ITR!!
I hope to see MX3's in ITA next year...very tempting! 1.8L V6 hmmm at least if it is not fast it will sound good!

interesting wording for the rearmost ballast mounting. gives an potential advantage to 2 door cars over 4 door versions since the doors extend further back. more options for where to put weight. e.g. the bmw's that are classified in both 2 and 4 door versions. coupe doors are almost a foot longer than the sedan doors.

not that it matters to me now...not much chance of carrying ballast running an e36 325 in ITR!
