23 days till the event and we have 26 cars entered. Going to be a great race!

I even see Tim K. registered, fast Acura, back from robbing the rich and giving to the poor, we need to hear some stories about Robin Hood. By the way Tim, I'm poor.

Send me a PM (darrell at darrellanthony dot com) if you have not received your prize checks. All have been mailed. Check under www.NJRRS.com under Pro IT Series Points for your points and funds won. We will have the points updated on ProITSeries.com shortly, Matt Rooke of Propel Web Design is training the Administrator (me) how to update that on the Pro IT site.

Look for the NJMP race in August to be posted soon on DLBRacing.com.

Leaving the The Band Of Merry Men (and Woman) and coming back to my roots. Taking a hiatus from trees, telephone poles, boulders and potholes - the rally world - might need some help getting reaquainted - can"t wait. Hoping to bring some loot Darrell - KLEER Trim Board Lumber T's., this years new rally sponsor - best I can do.

I'm feelin' the love already.

not if they are named Jeff... and especially not if they are named Joe!

[gran racing]

Somehow Chris must have found a loop hole to get in.

[dj10]

How long is qualifying for the ProIT and will there also be a 7 lap qualifying race for it?

[dtanthon]

Should be the same schedule as last year.

30 minute qualifying just before lunch on Saturday. No qualifying race on Saturday.
Sunday's race is after hardship practice, first race of the day.

[dtanthon]

11 days till the event and we have 48 cars registered.

ITR - 10
ITS - 11
ITA - 6
ITB - 8

I will not be at this event, give your W9 to Terry. You can get the W9 from the www.ProITSeries.com website under the Driver Resources tab.
If you have NOT received your prize checks yet please send me a PM at darrell at needmoreracing.com and I'll get it out to you.

Also, the final rounds at NJMP in August will be only Saturday and Sunday, same amount of track time (200 minutes) just in 2 days, no Friday. As of now it is just ARCA and Pro IT that weekend. Expect a lot of track time.
Joe Specht and his team from TreadZone.com will be there for your tire needs. From looking at North East Racing Tire website Smarty has us on his schedule as well.
We expect a call from the track tomorrow or Thursday to finalize all the details. Once we have that we will post the entry on www.DLBRacing.com.

[Greg Amy]

Anyone from CT/eastern NY heading over to WGI with some trailer space? A Formula Continental buddy needs someone to transport some tires to the event, "4 FC rain tires; 13 x 7 and 13 x 9 or something like that. Clean and in plastic bags."

If you can do it, let me know and I'll send him to you...

Wish I could be at this event but a birthday party in Atlanta is calling.

Please post updates for the unfortunate ones that can't attend.

Play safe.

I haven't raced WGI since I had the ITE P928, and was wondering
what top speeds the fast ITS cars are getting to before the bus stop
in an effort to choose gearing (trans, dif, tires)

for example....with 4:88s, 8500rpm in 4th is 119mph w/45's or 123mph w/50s,
and if I can avoid changing to the trans with the short 5th I'd prefer it.

TIA

[gran racing]

My guess based on ITB & SSC cars is you'd be okay with the 50s and probably run out a bit with the 45s.

In my RX-7 (5:12), we ran 45s. I suspect you'll need 5th gear no matter what tires you run.

Add another ITR car: the S2000 will be there (though I won't). Nick Leverone will test Friday and run Pro-IT if everything seems right.
