84' was the first year from what I understand here in NER... That was the year my dad got his licence and and started running in ITA with the Capri!!! Hummm anyone have a 1984 GCR around, it would be interesting what cars could make up the fields then and how its changed... crap this is off topic, time to get back on

ok, even if IT isn't at a "special milestone (23 years?) maybe the event can still say "celebrating 23 years of Improuved Touring at Mid Ohio, then the following year (08) it could read celebrating 24yrs, etc... changing the theme of the weekend to this... The "IT Festaval" or "August Regional Sprints" (or whatever you call it) are in recognitioon for those IT drivers who have come and gone, are still with us, and those whom have grown up with us over the past X years...
