Just this guy, ya know?
I am working on something for people potentially interested in racing with Conference (if it works out, I'll do something similar for workers) and I need a little bit of time from several people. What I'm looking for are several people to provide me with some quickie descriptions of different race classes in ICSCC. Nothing too difficult to do and I will handle all the actual writing duties; I just need experts to chime in with info about their class.
Here's who I'm looking for, in descending order of preference:
For example, someone who races GT who can speak about the GT class in general and also break down some of the differences between GT-1/2/3 and GTL. Or someone who can talk about Improved Touring, for example, and break down the differences between ITA/B/C/S/E. Failing that, someone from each of ITA, ITB, ITE, etc. For spec classes like Pro3 or Sport Touring, obviously, I'll need someone to give some details for it specifically.
Again, I'm not looking for really detailed information, just the kind of thumbnail sketch you'd give to someone who's knowledgeable about racing but knows nothing of your particular class. For example, what I'll be doing with the info is something like:
Super Production (Group 1)
Cars in its 3 sub-classes (SPO, SPM, SPU) are classified according to engine displacement. Virtually anything goes for the coupes and sedans in these classes, including purpose-built, tube-framed, NASCAR-style racers and former street cars converted to full fiberglass lightweights. Any car with fenders (excepting Sports Racers) will be legal in Super Production, although only the most aggressively-built are likely to be front-runners.
SPO: Engines over 4 liters and 20B rotaries
SPM: Engines with more than 2 liters displacement and up to 4 liters, and 13B rotaries
SPU: Engines under 2 liters and 12A rotaries
For those interested, please respond to this thread with what "broad class" (e.g., GT, IT, Production, etc) or specific class (e.g., ITA, Pro3, FF, etc) you can help with. Ultimately, I'm thinking 5-10 minutes of anyone's time should be plenty to write something I can use.
Thanks very much.
Edit:
Since it appears people are "signing up" for specific classes (e.g., ITA) rather than something larger like Improved Touring, we'll just go with that. If you're willing to do my "broad class" idea, above, please note that in the thread as it'll save me time later. For now, though, here is the list of 2012 classes and who's currently signed up for what (and, in some cases, have supplied a blurb). There are lots of opportunities for assistance here...

Here's who I'm looking for, in descending order of preference:
- People who can speak generally about the characteristics of a broad class such as GT, Improved Production, Conference Production, open wheel, and each spec class.
- People who can speak specifically about the characteristics of a particular, non-spec class, such as ITA, Club Ford, SPU, etc.
For example, someone who races GT who can speak about the GT class in general and also break down some of the differences between GT-1/2/3 and GTL. Or someone who can talk about Improved Touring, for example, and break down the differences between ITA/B/C/S/E. Failing that, someone from each of ITA, ITB, ITE, etc. For spec classes like Pro3 or Sport Touring, obviously, I'll need someone to give some details for it specifically.
