Actually, I'm also wondering why they needed to move IT7 out of our group at all, even with ITS/ITR coming in... ITS typically puts 8 - 12 cars on track, ITA usually has maybe 20 or so, and IT7 never had more than about a half dozen; that's less than 40 cars for those groups. Does anyone really expect to see 10 ITR cars at any event in its first year? Maybe Greg will chime in and help out with this.

it is a numbers game. we wanted to get all the run groups down to low 30's. ita+its+itr= low 30's. IT7+srx7+ssc/b=low 30's
there are actually over 30 its cars in the region. lots of them stayed home last season for a variety of reasons. i expect bigger its fields again next year. it wasn't long ago that there were 25 car its fields. yes, i agree itr fields may be light next year, which is one of the reasons to put them in with ita/its.

plus, gotta keep all them dang mazda's in run groups by themselves so they won't hurt anyone else....

j/k...i drive an srx7 sometimes....
