My dad and a friend campaigned an ITA prepared RX3 in the late 80s/early 90s. This is the CHEAPEST form of W to W racing in SCCA. At that time each race weekend cost them $800-$1000 and they were not competitive as they didn't cheat. The cheaters got to division level and then their cars got slower as protests were far more common. One group sold an ITA prepared RX2 to a lady and then protested what they had done to the car to strip her of a win. Competition has become "what you can get away with" more than "How good a builder/driver you are". The game is no fun this way IMO! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif) |
