St. Louis Region Regional/National/IT Tour March 28 & 29

[SLUF]

Just to get on my soapbox for a moment or two..............................................

STU is a much better fit speedwise with the SM/SS/T2/T3 groups than mixing it up with GT1 and GT2 cars in equal states of prep. I was a little shocked when I saw the initial groupings on the MIDIV site but they are what they are. I know there will be a few kinks to work out in this experiment and I do not mind being part of it. I know my request may get shot down and if so, I at least asked instead of bitched about it. I'll be there no matter what group I have to run with! Thanks to race chairman and volunteers like Bryon I'll have a place to play.

And there is a small possibility I may double-double dip by running a yet to be named car in the IT group! May as well get all my licensing requirements done in a single weekend.

At the October race at Gateway we (ITS/ITR/ITE) always run with the GT cars...not a big deal if the numbers are low/regional race...bigger deal at a "national" race for sure.

Keep an eye out for Blue Flags!

Yea....thats the problem with STU - it is in the big bore group. I'd like to see it in the SM- SSS-T3 group. STU would fit better there because of the DOT tires they run. There is a fairely serious STU Lexus in Midiv - he was as fast as a mid pack EP car at Hallet. Need to get more cars in the class to get some leverage.

To their credit, the STL race organizers are making the effort to accommodate my request. They have also taken steps to get the groups sorted for future races to help out us "slow double dippers" get some more racing in for the same weekend.
