First of all, it resolves the Pro Rally problem, except the note on having a Pro Rally Rule book.
What it does do is make it a little more difficult for someone to declare themself in the ITE class. Note the requirements of the series rule book and specifications. I don't believe any of our techs or officials would require such a thing, but if a competitor would challenge or protest, you had better have it or get disqualified.
Super Production is still a regional class. It does not get over ridden by Super Touring since SP is a tube frame legal class. Still our Specials class allows for them so I hope we can avoid that hassle.

Improved Touring Enduro (Class designation - ITE)
The purpose of the ITE class is to allow vehicles from other professional race series, Pro-Rally, Showroom Stock (those not otherwise eligible for IT or SS) and equivalent marque club classes to compete at a regional level. No guarantee of competitiveness or equality is expressed or implied.
To that end, the ITE rules and guidelines are that ALL VEHICLES MUST:
- Meet (at minimum) current Improved Touring safety specifications.
- Run DOT approved street radials; tire brand is free. However, wheel and tire specifications must be per the original series rules. Original series (except Pro-Rally) must have run exclusively on DOT tires.
- Compete in their declared series specification, except for tire brand & modifications, to meet SCCA safety specs.
- Display current SCCA Club Racing decals; all other sanctioning bodies’ identification must be removed or covered.
- Posses an SCCA (only) vehicle logbook and roll cage number.
- Meet the current SCCA sound requirements.
ALL COMPETITORS MUST conform to current SCCA General Competition Rules.
ALL ENTRANTS MUST have in their possession, and available to tech personnel or the Chief Steward, the “Series Rulebooks and specification sheets” (IMSA Rulebook, SCCA Pro-Racing rulebook, Pro-Rally rulebook, etc.) and an official manufacturer’s shop manual(s) to authenticate the vehicle in its state/condition of preparation.

Super Production
Please refer to GCR 9.1.11
The Northeast Division divides the class based upon engine displacement.
SPU denotes any Super Production class cars with an engine displacement of 2000 cc or lower.
SPO denotes any Super Production class car with an engine displacement higher than 2000 cc.
