    Crimeny. I don't want to tow up if there are no IT cars, especially no ITA cars....

    Maybe. I'd much rather be running the Watlkins Glen national the same weekend, but doing this one instead makes much more sense logistically. I'm still up in Wisconsin right now from The Sprints, and could hit this one on my way back home to Columbus. Basically, that makes the tow free. If I do Watkins, I have to make the 9 hour drive from here back to Columbus, make the 7 hour drive to WGI, and then 7 hour drive back. That sounds pretty awful. But, WGI blows Gingerman out of the water and the compeition will be a lot better. So...

    I sent the registrar a note asking about IT entries to date....
    I had not planned on going, but the weekend opened up for me, haven't been there in two years, and the last time it sucked because the car was overheating due to some tune issues.
    But if there are no other ITA cars....

    There aren't a lot of options for regional racers between Memorial day and Labor day and that's why SBR and WMR have added another race group for IT cars at GingerMan and Grattan(hopefully, it will help the our bottom line too).

    Right now we only have 4 IT cars, but we expect entries to start piling in over the weekend based on past history. If guys aren't coming, what are the reasons? We're trying to be as user-friendly as possible.

    Any input is welocome.

    Thanks.

    speaking for me personally, we are at a point in our last 2 daughters college careers where they overlap for two years. two kids in college eats into the race budget.

    if i can only race twice per year, i want it to be at the larger events. and i live only 40 minutes from Grattan and it is one of my favorite tracks.

    $ - This is a tough year for the budget. Next year looks much more promising. But Gingerman is not as high on my priority list as Grattan and the IT-Fest.

    Sent my entry in this morning, so that's "+1 FP". Anyone else signed up for that group yet? I'd love to not be completely bored out of my mind.


    Oh yeah, and insert another "It's 2009, can't we get some online registration already?!" rant here. Not being able to view an online entry list absolutely has to have an effect on number of entries.
