As for your development of the 240 - I'm trying to remember what you have done. The GCR is very strict. I've heard a lot of people cry when the had to remove years of mods to start building to class rules. The best thing you can do is to buy a pre-built race car. In the long run, you will save more money than you'd ever imagine. I'm sure you could "bond" w/ a nice ITA SOHC car... it's all the things you love (and about the same power  LOL )

Yeah.. I was thinkin about that as well.. From what I can tell there is more you can do to the SOHC motors anyway.. not sure how much of that would be IT legal though.. :sigh:

As for starting off driving in A vs. S, I think A is the winner there. ITS cars are generally faster than ITA cars. For that reason, ITA is a better place to hone your reactions (b/c things happen slower), a better place to hone your skills (b/c if you can keep momentum in a slow car, you can do it in a fast one), and - honestly - a better place to crash (b/c you aren't going as fast in many of the danger spots).

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.

I just deleted a whole speil about what group might be easier to learn to race with b/c I think that's more important that in what class, but suffice it to say, I will get my SCCA license, then run mostly NASA events until I am comfortable racing w/ the big boys.

Run SM with NASA? and then move to SCCA later?
