If the National is light on competitors is there any chance they would combine a few groups and make room for a second Pro-IT group?

Quoted so it doesn't get lost. Combine groups that are undersubscribed and make room for more $$$$$$$ !!!!! Cash in on the people who are actually willing to give you some money!!!!!

Suggestion:
Group 2: FV, F500, FF right now.....FOUR cars.
Group 4: FA, FC, FE, FM, FB, CSR, DSR, S2000.....SIX cars.

69 cars registered. 22 of them SM's.

Why not have 2 Pro IT groups? LOL. Poor organizers. Between a (Lime) rock and a hardplace.

ELEVEN classes, TEN cars, TWO groups! Why, do ANY of them have to do more than take the green to get the trophy? Sheesh.

In before the "Formula Atlantic cars CAN NOT share the track with a Formula Vee, the closing rates are deadly...".....ummm, really, it looks like there will only be one car nearly every fifth of a mile...passing can't be THAT hard, especially considering that it looks like there's no reason to actually race....(assuming all 4 or 6 cars aren't in the same class.)

And you know what? I symapthise with the concept. But at some point you really need to help the Regions out by allowing them to make some money. Two groups of Pro IT would allow them probably 50+ cars. Give the open wheelers 3 extra laps to compensate for the FA guys lapping the FV guys.......but 10 cars for 2 groups should be fine.

just a thought but.......Pro IT only gives the region half the entry money, the rest goes to awards.
So, every National entry equals 2 proIT
The region needs a hell of a lot of $200. entries to pay for LRP.
Sorry, just the facts!

Good point Jerry but you aren't excluding any National entries. If you combine 2 rediculously undersubscribed groups, you can ADD money to the bottom line.

Also you pull Pro-IT out and the region looses REALLY BIG at LRP. Just sayin.
