    Default Once again not on the calendar

    I don't get it, IT gets shut out of the SportsCar calendar again. It's know it's just an ad and it not controlled by SCCA, but couldn't they at least lump us in with Touring, SS and SM? It just seems like one of the most popular racing categories could at least get a little piece of one of the pictures.

    I'm not going to complain about who did get coverage, about the only "group" I would have cut was to combine World Challenge Touring and GT. Ok, wait a minute, I am going to complain that ROAD RALLY got three pictures. How many total RR entries does this club get per year? RR got more pictures (3) than RallyCross got (2).

    Would it be so hard to add about 10 words and choose a picture with an ITA car in the background to at least include us?

    Club racing: 4 pages
    Solo: 3 pages
    Pro racing: 4 pages
    Rally: 1 page
    Volunteers: 1 page

    Depending on how you count, 73 different pictures including 208 cars and 1 cart and not a single IT car? Not a single IT car. Not a single IT car.

    You'd think that since the editor drives an IT car he might be able to get one into the calender. But then again they might consider the SM to be a closet IT car....

    An ITB Volvo would make a great February picture.

    I thought I had found us in the January text blurb (my colors and bolding):

    "With SCCA Club Racing, it's far easier to get on track then you might think. With classes ranging from lightly modified production vehicles to full-blown carbon-fiber, purpose-built racing machines, there's something for everyone in SCCA Club Racing."

    Sweet! That's us. And there's more:

    "With a little bit of instruction and an SCCA-legal racecar (costs begin at just a few thousand) a driver can be on his or her way to a regional racing license. Or a racer can pursue a National Championship at the Runoffs"

    Yep, that's us, no picture but at least a mention. But then the hammer blow:

    "From a lightly modified Spec Miata to 180mph GT-1 cars, there's a class for every ability and budget."

    Doh. It turns out we are below the lowest level of SCCA Club Racing.

    To me "lightly modified production vehicles" means SM and SS. Regional versions of those can be had for "just a few thousand", plus even some Prod cars too. Nope, not referring to IT.
