I have gotten official word that the ITAC chairman, Andy Bettencourt has resigned.

(for those who don't know, ITAC is the IT advisory Committee that is charges with setting race weights, classs structure and writing/changing rules, and operates under the CRB.)

Andy can explain his reasoning better than I of course, and it's his place to do so, not mine. But, I know it's safe to say that he has issues with the methods and direction of the CRB, relative to what he feels the membership wants for the category.

As members of this site arr IT racers with a vested interest, I thought you should know.

Andy has been a tireless champion of IT, and has walked a fine line between the different forces. He has really gotten better thru the years and is irreplaceable.

It's not a good day for IT.

A broader base forum has a discussion thread regarding this and other IT matters over on RR/AX, if you'd like to read what a broader base has to say.
