Appearantly you haven’t seen the rules for PT, where you class your vehicle, not the other way around :ham: > [@SI01](#): > > It seems odd to me that they’d get it from potential competitors. Do they just assume the information they get is accurate? If it’s not accurate it well get really accurate, really quick if it comes up under protest. > [@neurokinetik](#): > > Seems like most of that information is pretty easy to obtain… Especially considering most of it is in the Factory Service Manual, which competitors are required to have. The window rake angle is a little out there, and maybe piston weight isn’t out in the open either. > [@ecoshardcore](#): > > Thats what I thought to. That is ridicolous that they are expecting you to figure it out. What do the fees actually go to? $1.8 million went to insurance premiums last year. Considering a lot of positions are volunteer why shouldn’t a memeber do the research to get the car approved. > [@OriginalSterm](#): > > Not all cars IMHO are assured to be competitive. I’ve got a '90 Eagle Talon that, according to the book, must weigh ~50 lbs. less than it comes stock. 2755# is incredibly heavy for an ITA car and is hard to meet once you pull out all non-essential weight and only put back a cage and 1 seat. No, your car is suppose to weigh at least 2500#. Which is about right given it’s power, and brake size, and “sleekish” aero. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rear-window-slope-angle-the-scca-is-nuts/24229)._
