No ITR at Mid Ohio restriced regional/national

ITE is 'missing' from the list as well......

They leave ITR and ITE out on purpose because they're too concerned about the speed potential of those classes on track with ITC, ITB, and SM cars. I don't agree with it, but that's just what I was told last year.

Kevin, I was told about the same crap last year, this is ridiculous. This comes from the same group that used to run GT1 with ITS at the OVR autumn classic before the Runoffs. If you look at the entry you will see that GT1 has Eproduction in their group, talk about speed differential!!! The ITS record is faster than ITR by ,8 secs currently. Do you think that 4 or 5 cars that would show up will be that big of a deal? I already sent an email to Matt Downing earlier and I urge anyone that thinks they should be there to do so as well. I would think they will need as many entries as possible to pay the bills at Mid Ohio or we will soon hear that SCCA can not afford to race there or entry fees will be going up considerably. I do feel that ITE should not be included as they have the potential to be much faster than ITC because their ruleset is almost run what you brung. But ITR is a normal IT regional only class with a specific set of rules and limitations in the GCR, should they not be included in a restricted regional for IT cars? I would like to see ITR grow but how will they if they cannot race?
