2010 Atlanta Region ProIT

[bhudson]

The first event in 2010 is later this month; take a look at the rules - the race length has changed for 2010.

Still 20 laps, what has changed?

Note, it now says not less than 45 minutes, not "no more than" like it used to. What I was told is that they will now specify 45 minutes for all Pro-IT races, and that is what the supps for the 3/20-21 event show. It's for monetary reason which I won't discuss. :D

45 minutes or 20 laps, whichever is longer. Assuming no FCY and the leader averaging a 1:40 lap, 45 minutes works out to 27 laps.

This allowed us to sanction the Pro-IT races as Enduros instead of a Restricted Regional, which saves us about $350 in sanction fees on our National/Pro-IT weekends. As a bonus, those running the National and both Pro-ITs get to count three races toward fulfilling their licensing requirements (three sanction numbers instead of two).
