I am touched by your concern Matt and Steph!

The way I see it is that the ProIt races we run are 45 minutes, and we fill to the brim with fuel
and still end up just on the legal side of weight

so...if I bolt in 20lbs, just to be safe, then two back to back 20 minute races will be like a
45 minute ProIt race with a long double yellow midrace

and Greg...you're not pulling my leg now are you?....if not then I will go ahead and register for both

but of course, I'd much rather have wings and things split the groups.....please Jerry?

I assure you I am not. - GA

I hate to say it but, it's about the MIatas, they make up the majority of our DD'n.
Glen, unless I hear of more racers looking at the ITR/STU double dip(DD), I don't see any sense in making the change.
I will continue to watch who is DD and look at changes in the future.

Jerry I would perhaps be another double Dip. Why not move the wings and things inbetween the 2 groups?

[MMiskoe]

All joking aside, even though I am not planning on taking advantage of this, I would not be apposed to having allowances for people to do so. Allowing cars to skip impound and if need be, having a slightly longer break between the two races to allow people to get from the track back to grid would be OK. The region needs the entries. As a group we need to work together. It does not just benefit the few that are double dipping, it does indrectly affect the rest of the entrants too.

HOLY CRAP! Next thing you know, Andy might try a racing that Miata outside New England!!!

I guess geography wasn't your strong suit. LOL

Oh, right: you raced Pocono. Yeah, that's really stretchin' your legs right there...you didn't hurt yourself or get lost or anything, right...?



Jerry's talking numbers, not suitability for the class. Miatas seem to insert themselves into other groups in far higher numbers than anyone else, and the number of ITB/ITS/ITR guys that double-dip into STU (and the old DP) are not that high...that said, it would make things a lot better for all involved to move G5 to G2 and move everything else back one group (and you could even move SSM into G1 so they could dip into STU, too). - GA

Miracles do happen from time to time. I am looking at the calendar and believe I will be good to go.

I am assuming there is a test day on Friday?

[Andy Bettencourt]

Run Group examples:

1. ITB, ITR, ITS
2. FV, F5
3. ITA, IT7, ITC, SSB, SSC, T3
4. FA, FB, FC, FE, FF, FM, CF, CFC, CSR, DSR, NCF, S2, ASR, FS, FST
5. SSM, EP, FP, HP, GTL, STU
6. GT1, GT2, GT3, AS, ITE, T1, T2, SPO, ST, STO
7. SM
8. SRF, SPU, LC

This puts at least one group between most DD options. SM-ITA, SM-ITS, SSM-ITA, All IT-STU, ITA-FP, ITS-EP........

Did I miss anything?

The ITR and ITS cars make the most sense to run in STU. It can be done.
