    ITR? Are you talking about Radial Sedan? How is that class doing? Seems rather interesting to me.

    I hope you don't mind that I took the initiative in making sure they were posted.
    take a look atthe first lap video also. (It appears) That same car hit the red pro7 as well. Then there are these:
