The race committee will be meeting Jan 3rd to finalize classes and race groups for the 2008 I.T.SPEC*tacular. The goal is to continue to expand, while keeping the classes and race groups to a minimum. The addition of a 6th race group have been discussed LIMITED to 4 formula classes as well as the addition of SSM and AS. The three race format will not change but the races will be shorter. We are looking at :

Saturday Morning 20 minutes qualifying
Saturday Afternoon 20 lap / 35 minute race (Which ever comes first) Fastest lap sets grid for Sunday morn.

Sunday Morning 13 lap / 20 minute qualifying race ( WECF) finishing position sets grid for Sunday afternoon
Sunday Afternoon 20 lap / 35 minute race ( WECF)

Medals for the top three finishers ( per class) in the two 20 lap races. Overall trophies ( per class) for accumulated points awarded in all three races.

Group 1.... ITB, ITS
Group 2.... ITA, IT7, ITC
Group 3..... SRF
Group 4.... SM, SSM
Group 5.... ITR, ITE, TCC, AS
Group 6..... FF, CFF ( East-West Challenge Series) tentative: CF, CFC (Great Lakes Challenge Series)

We hope that the race lengths will be just right after reading the feedback from several forums around the WWW. Input is always welcome.
