SCCA classifies 84 GT Coupe

[Robert Hines <hinesr@csa.delta1.org>]

The February issue of "Sports Car" now lists the 1984 Audi GT Coupe in
ITB which is an imporived touring classification that severly limits
the changes from stock that can be made.  This lowers the cost of
going amatuer racing by not allowing the high dollar changes.  These
rules also tend to even out the competitiveness of the groups of cars
with each other sos that a drivers talents are showcased rather than
his bank account.  We ran this class last year but with a Mazda RX-3,
which is a front runner in our area.  Cost of going racing with your
Audi, based on a minimum level of preperation, would be about $1500
above the cost of the car.  This would include fire extinguisher, roll
cage, racing seat belts, numbers and class lettering, and one set of
racing wheels.  Tires, fuel, drivers safety gear all cost extra.
Questions can be directed to SCCA at 303-694-7229. There will no doubt
be a school near you this spring that will be your first step toward
getting your licence.  Be fun to see some Audis out there.  Bob
