Title: IP2 Acura Integra Secondary GT Class?
Post by DTF on Apr 3rd, 2011 at 7:33pm
Just wondering if the there is a class that I can run my IP2 (CW1) Integra in CW2 such as GTM?  I have looked throught the regs and understand that the CACC allows IP legal cars to run in a GT class in another run group.  The only problem for me is the coresponding GT class in CW2 is GTM, which is for cars 2.0L to 4.0L (Ingegra is only 1.8L).

I guess what I'm asking is would I be allowed to run in GTM even though the car isn't technically legal?  I'm just looking to get a little more seat time at some of the race weekends.

Thanks,
Duncan

Now there is a good question ??? Ip Car to GT   GT being your second entry and tech IP2 Class   YES Correct ... I would believe that is a question for you to ask of the CACC Stewart Of The Meet ,, Being you are not really A GTM Car  ,,,steward@caccautosport.org

Duncan,

You nailed it. That's the point of the rule, to let an IP car run a second class, either for more seat time, or for a second driver to share the car. The IP car must  be registered (and if memory serves participating) in it's IP class to be eligible for the the GT class without having all the GT safety equipment. Many of the IP cars run two classes as you've described.

You could also run West Coast if you're looking for maximum seat time.

Garry Bone has been running his S2000 in GTM for the past couple years, even though it has a 1997cc engine.  I'm pretty sure nobody will mind if you race your Integra in GTM.
