    Two out, two in.

    Long time member Geroge Roffe, (and frequent IT.com poster, back in the "Miller Days", has been struggling with work and life related time issues. (I think he must've gotten a new hottie GF, LOL) and found that things were getting spread too thin. And Bob Clarke, andother long timer, is racing more in the prod category, and has some pressing family issues,.....so.....

    We got lucky. Scott has lots of IT experience, and has been an occasional critic of the SCCA way, and even the ITAC, so having him on board is kinda cool.

    And Jeff has shown lots of hard work on the ITACs behalf in the past. He and Ron Earp answered the phone when i called and said, "You know that list of cars too fast for ITS? Time to get that going", and along with the "ITR ad hoc" guys, created that class. Giles was in on that too.

    So, both have a lot going for them: they are active IT racers, they represent cars and classes that helps the ITAC remain diversified. (We REALLY needed some Brit car expertise!) and they are geographically ok too.

    So, if you see them at the track feel free to pat them on the back or kick them in the butt, LOL.

    Oh...on edit, the current ITAC is;

    Andrew Bettencourt, Grand Poobah
    Josh Sirota, West Coaster
    Kirk Knestis Resident Policy Doc
    Marshall Lytle BMW insurgent
    Lee Graser "For the People!"
    Les Chaney "Just Say No!"
    Jeff Young, British Liaison
    Scott Giles Resident Honda guru
    and me,

    Jake,

    I heard that your seat was up for grabs to whoever could register a higher post count than yours by year end. Is that true????

    Only Kirk has a shot, and he's already on board, but go for it man!

    (High post counts are the sign of oldness or weirdness, both are bad!)

    Andy, what was your screen name before you switched to AB? Didn't you have 4000 posts or so on that name?

    Combined, u da winnar, man!

    On edit:

    In an effort to reduce my post count, I will add this in a ninja edit. Your combined total is 5555, I think, soon, you will roll over Miller.
    (Unless he snafus the GF thing!)

    You know better than that Jake. There is nobody left on the ITAC that is willing to talk publicly.
