The demise of ITR at WDC

[yannisalex2000]

So your class is running nicely seperated behind the faster class and in front of the slower class and that's a problem? I thought that was the ultimate good situation. What you are missing is racing with other class cars and buggering up their race?

I just don't see how ITR is going to win this arguement. Even if they get what they want they are going to bring a tiny number of cars. And they are going to cause pain for much larger classes. ITA is not an unlimited natural resource that shows up no matter what.

Jim is not about winning or losing an argument.WDCR is the only region that I know off that 1)runs ITR with BB and 2)splits ITR from ITS.Do you suggest that I should be happy with my 10-12 wins over the last 2 seasons because I was the ONLY ITR DRIVER THAT SHOWED UP?I dont think so.Following and watching better drivers, been pushed from behind and going through traffic is the best way for all of us to grow and develop as race car drivers.

I agree John - rolling around the track by yourself is a driver ed day, not a race. It's not always about where you finish but the excitement of passing and being passed and working on race craft. Running door to door with other cars in all classes is where it's at, at least, that's what I like and it's missing at SP for ITR. Lot's of the tracks in the NE have S and R battling to the finish and I don't know anybody complaining about messing up class specific races.

But I don't think this will be a problem because ITR will skip SP and go to NJMP.

I do respect that the guys getting lapped lose some track time. When I ran GT1 at LimeRock the friggin race lasted 15 minutes because we ran in the low 50's for a 15 or 18 lap race. Anybody grouped with GT1 was pretty unhappy - nobody wants a shorter race.

I understand. I was always envious of the NE ITR/ITS racing watching your videos and such.I am still bringing you a nice picture taken by Roz.
