Double Restricted Regional at Grattan 8/11-8/12

[darthmonkeyIT]

Little confused by this event....

Lists on the schedule as a restricted regional double. If you look at the sups posted on Motorsportreg there is no IT car field. The schedule looks a lot like a National event not a Double Regional.

When I looked at the schedule I expected this to be a double regional at Grattan though looking again it is also a double National weekend. Not sure how that happened though since Gingerman just had a double National last weekend and I was aware there was only one double National race i the region every year.

Confused and annoyed that this is not really a double regional but a double national with a FST field. Restricted regional meant all regional classes are ineligible except for FST. :(

If I remember correctly, the only regional race is FST. Bummed me out too.

FST must be working as a group. There were a bunch at Nelson last month. They must be coordinating schedules (like ITC does). And it's kind of cool they negotiated a deal to run with that national. usually it is IT that sucks up the restricted slots.
