Todd,
Looks like you and Bob from the NE ProIT need to adjust your schedules for next year so there are no ProIT races same time as IT Spect.....just a though. :~)

True, though if we had the same date as last year there would not have been a conflict. That's the problem when a track has many pro dates. We should be locked in for years to come being between the Pro Bikes and ALMS. It also gives the staff at Mid Ohio a breather instead of dealing with three pro event weekends in a row. I think it will be a win-win. Maybe we invite Bob's Pro I.T. circus to Mid Ohio for the I.T. Spec*tacular next year.
What do ya think?
Todd
I say we get the TeamDI Pro-It as a support race to the ALMS race and then we all hang out for the entire week and race in both events! What a great vacation that would be!!!
Stephen
PS: I think the IT spectacular was one of the best events I have entered... I wish I could go but the cost and time to travel from NH is just a bit more than I can justify to the wife, dogs, and house I hope you all have fun! Go NER!!
No offense taken Todd. I predict NO Honda's on the podium in ITA this year. I think it will be a couple of Miata's and a Nissan. And that Nissan will not be piloted by Steve Linn. I can't wait till the end of the month 2 premier tracks in 2 weeks WGI/ Mid Ohio.
Let the Shit talkin begin.

You're doing it wrong!! In the trunk? Do you want him to smell it or the rest of the world?? Strap it in the engine compartment, non exhaust side. And maybe some smaller bait fish, oh, say a herring or three, in the cockpit, under his seat cover.
Don't you watch Top Gear?

ITS Come on guys we need more than three choices!!!!
1st Matt Miller
2nd Michael Lattanzio
3rd Willy Church
ITR
1st Dan Jones ( maybe the third try will be the charm) track record holder in ITR but broke during practice for the I.T.FEST last year. )
2nd Kip Van Steenburg ( smoked the field in ITS last year BUT sold the car to Tim Selby in the paddock. New car may be just as fast)
3rd Chris Bernhardt ( Knows the track like the back of his hand. Stepped up to the challenge with new personal best times each race last year)
ITA
wide open this year! Last years 1st - 3rd CRX train are not registered at this time. We know A.J. is driving in TDI cup. Not sure what's up with the Mosers. Lots of new faces so I'll go with the veterans
1st Joe DiMinno ( First year on the Pro course but very consistent runs the last two years.
2nd Matt Downing ( Matt's Hungry for that first overall title and its home turf)
3rd Kevin Ruck ( Last years ARRC champ is back but hasn't had Big Orange out yet this year. But has been racing in his FP so he does have seat time.)
ITB
No Aaron, Chris or Vaughan at this point
1st Jim Heckman ( The 2002's are monsters on the back straight and will be a force on the pro straight. Get a draft and they'll pull you with them)
2nd Blake Meredith ( The Porsche may be from 1973 but it's fast)
3rd Greg Amy ( 2006 was the dream season for Greg ARRC, NARRC and NYSRRC. 2007 was just as good. Didn't make the Spectacular in '08. Driving a well prepared Conover car this year so he should be a force to deal with.)
ITC
No Shawn or Vesa yet
1st Bill Shearer or Fred White too close to call. Both deserve the overall and really mixed it up with Shawn and Vesa last year.
2nd Who ever doesn't get 1st.
3rd Jim hardesty

Never argue your tab at the end of the night. Remember, you're hammered and they’re sober.
Quoted, so I can print out and bring to the track. I think you guys are forgetting that the pro-course will actually benefit the Integra's too. So yeah, Hoppe and I will have something to say about that.
edit - Oh yeah, I stopped being a slacker and finally paid up my entry fee yesterday. So it's official.

I got to meet Bob @ Pocono last year and by no means can I say I know him well but, he did strike me as a bussiness man 1st, which means he's open minded, and a racer 2nd, loves the sport and good competition. I certaintly think there could be some good dialog about using the Mid Ohio event as a venue that could be lucrative for all involved. Nothing can not be over come when you have a couple of good people committed to solving a problem.
Just an FYI: I am hoping to run the PRO IT at Lime Rock. Even if the Pro IT was at Mid Ohio I wouldn't going... The cost of buying a house and time at work is getting in the way. I only write because I don't want people to think that the PRO-IT is taking entrants away from the IT Spectacular at Mid Ohio, IT IS A GREAT EVENT!!!

Raymond,
Thanks for the compliment. I understand completely that this is not an attempt to steal entries. It is unfortunate that the dates overlap and that's because the ALMS/IRL liked the I.T.Fest date enough to take it this year which moved us onto LRP's date. PRO I.T. is just a thought. Maybe something we can do in 2011 as part of the tour to celebrate 25 years of I.T. racing.
Have fun with the house.
Todd
