    Default Poll: Should IT go National?

    How about if we keep the discussion over in the other thread? Just make a selection, and if you would like, post your choice and the class you race in.

    I voted no - I race ITA.

    I vote yes and race IT7 for the fun of it and that coveted last place in my group.

    I think you might want at least another option:

    - yes, but only if part of a fundamental and major restructuring of the closed-wheel categories.

    YMMV

    yea, I think any poll is going to be misleading as we are assuming that the move would be done "as is" ...but i think it's much more likely that it would accompany a major restructuring.

    I'm going to presume that the assumption behind the question is that everything else remains unchanged.

    Even at that, I vote "yes" because it probably won't change what I do...

    Of course the poll could have more descriptive, and listed half a dozen or more conditions under which this could happen, and given several possible options for combinations of regional/national classifications, etc... but I'm hoping that anyone who chooses to cast a vote has at least skimmed through all the discussion in the other thread, and had formed an opinion based on those discussions. That's what I'm hoping anyway. And after all, these polls don't really mean anything anyway

    No, ITS.

    I would change my vote if we were talking about ending the REgional/National distinction as opposed to just moving IT to National.

    Nope, ITS.

    I see some benefits to the club as a whole but I see more negative than positive aspects. Like many on the other thread I might change if the entire National/Regional distinction were done away with but I just don't ever see that happening within the SCCA.

    Nope, after 3 years in ITB, 5 in ITA. Not under the current circumstances (by which I mean the club, not so much mine). Address certain open items, then I might not see it as a bad thing.

    So you guys that are voting no are saying that the Club should continue to forbid IT cars to run Nationals? That a guy who wants to run Nationals has to buy or build a different car to do so?

    keeping everything else the same and just adding IT to nationals? nope...i'm not cool with that.

    pick a different car if you want to go to the runoffs.

    I voted no. I believe that there are problems with the classes that run National races. And I would love to see them fixed. But I don't agree to drag IT into that environment.
