    Adding SM and not allowing ITR? Not enough cars to fill a session with just IT cars?

    No ITR seems like an oversight rather than a decision...

    Great Lakes Division points event?

    Wow, paddock will be packed! Where will they put us "non-pro" drivers? Out in the field up the hill? I think we all need to paddock together in a group out and away from the unknown

    The details of the event will be posted once they are all final. I'm not sure when that will be, but I know it is being worked on right now. Thanks.

    I'm pretty sure the answer is No. The official communication will have all the details.

    That is about the only thing working... I've made 0 progress on the car. With no plans to make any progress anytime soon... So....... I'm sure I'll get 'something' together for this year. I've still got the SM/ITA Miata, so I can always jump in that. No clue what 2011 will bring, but I'm sure I'll have a great time with whatever I do.

    my biggest fear is a wait list. i think with SM involved, we will likely hit the car limit for the track (65?).

    split qualifying (like the ARRC 15 minutes and 15 minutes) and split strart might be worthwhile....

    cudos to everyone helping make this happen.

    I believe the 10% overage would allow for 66 cars on track if that is granted. The classes are not set yet - this event is still in the planning phase. It is on the schedule now, so hopefully more info will come soon!

    We (OVR) will post more information once it is set. Thanks!

    I've asked, and it isn't an oversight.
