That sounds awesome.. It'd be kickass having another 240 guy that will run IT with me. MUHHahaHaHaHaHah death to all those silly CRX's lol
Not IT IT"A". IT is a type of racing (Improved Touring) -- A, B, C, S, and E are classes within that type. The SOHC 240 is eligible for ITA and the DOHC goes to ITS. B & C are sub-100 hp cars (yup, they still exist, [rant]don't ask why they have their own class while the Se-R and Civic EX can't move to ITA and get slaughtered by 325's in ITS [/rant]).

I wouldn't worry too much about power from a KA24E in ITA - 140/1-- tq compares favorably w/ the CRX si. They have less power, less weight, so the end is fairer than it looks on paper -- but the power advantage is significant.

I agree.. but I don't think the speeds would that much different because I would be running the same car either way.. they others guys might be a bit faster, but I sure won't. I've run with a couple E30 bmw's that were preped, and was only beat up by the highly preped one. I still had stock worn out suspension at that time.. Couldn't be THAT much different either way.
Huh? The class killers in ITS are e36 325's (not that an e30 won't rip a 240 a new one...). At any rate, trust me, you don't want none of that.

Run SM with NASA? and then move to SCCA later?
Yup -- my plan it to get my SCCA provisional license, do two regional events to get my full regional license, then do NASA events until I get some more seat time in a racing environment.

**edit* oh yeah - check out some of the regional results in ITA - there is always a 240 on the podium! http://www.wdcr-scca.org/results/
