Sweet! &nbsp;An IT racer.
I think I'm gonna start building an S13 in a few years if I can find a cheap shell in decent condition...won't be able to afford to track it until I get out of college, though. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> &nbsp; I want to finish my street car/SM autox project first anyway. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

I would have nominated that guy who asked for books instead of a spoon feeding of info....but then bbp had to come along and steel it away from him! bbp has helped me as well in less than one month of being here <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

That's what I'm thinking too.

And I second the book guy. &nbsp;bbp knows too much to bear the newbie moniker. &nbsp;Can't we give him some wheels already? -like more than me &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Thanx Tnord....

IT racing is SCCA "Improved Touring" Road Racing. &nbsp;They host races at major road race course (mid ohio, watkins glen, laguna seca etc...) &nbsp;around the country. &nbsp;The rules are designed to keep costs down, limited prep. &nbsp;Basically you can add a header, some minor machining to the motor, suspension is somewhat open, no body mods, gut interior with full cage, DOT race tires, open exhaust, with soome other stuff but that is the idea.

I run against BMW 325, 2nd gen RX7, old 240z, 280z. &nbsp;I'm a bit down on power against some of those, but hope to make up for it in the corners as the 240sx handles GREAT!

I had my first go in 94 with a CRX (ya ya i know <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> ) but I was in school and learned how expensive it can be. &nbsp;

If anyone is in Ohio, I could always use some crew guys to help out, you will learn ALOT!!

if you ever head up to RA or Blackhawk Farms and need crew let me know........i can probably round up about 3 people not including myself

don't forget about Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs.....we have IT too &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'> i think our rules try to stay similar to SCCA so that we can have drivers compete in both series', where there are differences, i know they're minimal because i talk to drivers that run SCCA as well......so if you're ever interested in joining MCSCC bbp, let me know......we run at Grattan and Gingerman as well, which are both in michigan and should be somewhat close to you.

how long you been involved with SCCA and what have you been involved with in the past??

Yeah bbp, if you're ever down in Memphis, let me know. &nbsp;If it's the right time of year (when I'm in college-MSU), I'm less than 3hrs. SE of there...and I'd be glad to help out and learn a thing or two. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
