I.T. Triple Crown

[RacerBill]

One of the secondary reasons I went up to Nelson Ledges this weekend was to talk up the ITTC and the IT Fest. Everyone I talked to, stewards and other officials, old IT drivers, and new IT drivers, all agreed that this is a good thing.

Keep up the great work!!!!!

Over the winter an I.T. Advisory Committee made up of drivers from SCCA divisions across the country was formed to explore the idea of having an I.T. National Championship. This idea morphed into the Improved Touring Triple Crown (ITTC). The ITTC is a point series developed to recognize the nation’s best IT drivers. One option to qualify is to combine the best results from your local or divisional series which are listed in the rules and participation in a minimum of two of the following race weekends.
The I.T. West Fest at Thunderhill July 26th-27th

The I.T.SPEC*tacular at Mid Ohio Sports Car Course August 9th-10th

American Road Race of Champions by Grassroots Motorsports November 7th-9th at Road Atlanta

The second option to qualify is to run all three major race weekends.

Points will be awarded for 1st – 18th at each event (Local and Divisional series will be awarded on final season standings) so you don't need to win every segment. Current plans include trophies that will be presented at the ARRC banquet for a podium finish in the ITA, ITB, ITC, ITS, and ITR classes.

A copy of the rules is available on http://www.improvedtouring.com in the IT Championship events forum and at http://www.cincyscca.com. The program has started for the 2008 racing season but you really don’t have to do anything at this time. Entry into the ITTC is free. Since all the events conclude with the ARRC in November and we automatically track your results we only ask that you participate in the events listed above and spread the word.

We're also looking for sponsors to provide contingency prizes so if you're interested in that aspect or know someone who is please let us know.

Best Regards,

You know, it's pretty interesting how a couple of SARRC wins has primed my pump for this deal. We were already planning on doing the 'Fest and ARRC, but weren't worried about local series points. My emphasis has shifted a little bit...

Ain't it amazing how that works on your confidence level.

Kirk, that would be cool if you won the ITB crown. Maybe we can get Andy to venture afield and go for ITA, Marshall can get ITS, Josh in ITR, and I'll try IT7....how funny would it be to have the ITAC guys up there !
