We just lost 1/2 of our opportunities to race at one of the greatest tracks in the world. If an opportunity is provided to regain some of that, and it is integrated into our series, you will see a 'typical' Road America regional IT turnout IMO.
Yes I guess we do have a different opinions. That's good right? That said I, would suggest to all of you who feel strongly about issues like this to get involved with your regions race programs on the administration side. It will be a big eye opener. Volunteer to work with the competition committee in your region. They do need the help and it really does not take a lot of time and is fun.
As for running a restricted regional as part of the TRO series I think you would have to check to make sure the series rules allow that. I also believe this is only a 1 year change in the schedule. Hopefully next year there will be another track on line to pick up that national race. The SCCA National BOD has yet to approve this third national as it is required to do under the rule of " no more than two national races at one track"
I would expect them to approve this on a one time basis for next year but as I have said it has not been approved as of yet.
