One other thought:

Do most Divisions have divisional championships similar to SARRC? If so, we could also base someone's reimbursement from the tow fund on how they did in the Divisional series. Encourages participation in those programs and encourages the more competitive drivers/cars to come to the ARRC.

Butch,

This is exactly what I was thinking about doing if there was some sort of IT Festival at some other track...I think it is a GREAT idea.

Here in NER we have two Champions. The NERRC (New England Road Racing Championship) with is a Regional deal and then the NARRC (North Atlantic Road Racing Championship) with is a NeDiv deal. Contact me if you want me to get you the names of teh champs. Our Runoff event (in which you have to participate to win a title) is Oct 20-21.

On a side note, I know the ARRC is the incumbant, but how would you guys and the Region feel if there was an IT Festival at Mid Ohio? Sort of like a 'June Sprints' to your 'Runoffs'? Stepping on your toes?
