Generally
speaking, the cars eligible for IT2 are those listed but not competitive in
SCCA® ITS,
although IT2 is open to cars not listed in the SCCA® rules. Manufactured
starting in the early 1990s, these cars range in quoted power from 120-150hp
and are delivered with a curb weight in the range of 2200 to 2800 pounds.
Generally
speaking, "sports" or "GT" cars - those without back seats
- are not eligible for IT2, to avoid introducing a variable for which the
performance-leveling system cannot readily correct.
Race weights are determined by a formula that considers stock engine power
and the potential HP gains under IT rules preparation, based on an estimated
power to weight ratio and including a 200 pound allowance for the driver.
Use the IT2 Weight Calculator to
determine the race weight of your favorite car. Note that the formula applied
has not been finalized - please provide your feedback on the system and
on the specified weight of your car.
If you have
a particular car that falls into these general guidelines that you would like
to have considered for listing in IT2, please contact
Kirk Knestis by e-mail. Please note also that this list is
is not supposed to be all inclusive - the models below are listed to provide
examples of eligible cars, as of August 2003.
