Cross-posted from RRAX.com, in case you don't go there:

Can you get behind this?

Group 1 - ITA, split start for IT7, ITC, ITT
Group 2 - SMX, split start for SP-2, SP-3
Group 3 - ITR & ITS, split start for ITB
Group 4 - SM, SM2, SSM
Groups 5-9 - you guys don't care (other than STU would be in there somewhere for guys that want to double up)

All races would be 20 laps or 45 minutes (the sun doesn't set until 6:40 and if everyone ran the full time we'd get the last checker at 5:45) and everyone would pay the same entry fee (projected at $295 compared to $275 in 2009).

Based on the past three years, that'd put 39.7 cars in Group 1 and 32.4 in Group 3. You'd have more chance to watch your buddies races, the ITA/SM double-dippers would have two groups in between to make any changes, and the SM/SMX double-dippers would have one group in between.

I know that nobody wants to be Group 1, but last year it was SM and the year before it was ITB/ITC. We'll continue to rotate that each year (or at least until the BoD makes IT a Runoffs class, at which time I'll retire).

Let me know...
