TreadZone Pro IT Series (NE) - 2012 Season

[dtanthon]

What went well in 2011?
What do we want for 2012?
Questions, comments and observations are always welcome.

I think that everyone will agree that Pocono did not work. The SAFER barrier concrete strips were a disaster. If they will be there next season I definitly will not be running there.

[dtanthon]

Any more comments or suggestions?

All the checks have been mailed for the season and end of year. Please deposit or in 90 days they will be donated to the worker fund.

A big thank you to Robert Thiele, Jim and Ben Slechta, Kurt Thiel and Tyler Munroe for donating their prize funds to the worker fund. We will pay for many to attend the SJR January party at NJMP. Without the workers we don't play.

I think you guys do a great job as is I can't wait to get back into the series! My only suggestion would be a 200 pound weight penalty for bmws

How about we just tie one arm and one leg behind our back?

I think I see a pattern here...

Seriously, I had tons of fun, even better, I enjoyed my two wins and receiving money at the end of year!

POC... POC... POC... enough said. I like going fast, but those barriers.... ugh.

ITA/B/C participation is thin though. I would imagine that ProIT held in conjuction with NARRC... might improve numbers. Now that I think about it, the July Sprints had slim ITA/B/C pickings as well.

On the other hand, I look forward to the running support events with ARRC, etc. in 2012.

[RHallRacing]

I think one of the events should be run on Memorial Day at LRP or maybe follow a few Grand-Am races in the northeast

[dtanthon]

Rounds 1 & 2 - May 11-13 - NJMP-Thunderbolt (w/chicane) - supporting Grand AM
Round 3 - June 2-3 - NJMP-Thunderbolt - supporting National
Round 4 - June 23 - Lime Rock Park - supporting National
Round 5 - June 30-July 1 - NJMP-Lightning - with Joe DeLuca and Linda Gronlund Freedom Races Regional
Round 6 - July 21-22 - Watkins Glen - with July Sprints Regional
Round 7 - August/September - TBD - TBD - TBD
Round 8 - October 6-7 - Watkins Glen - with Last Chance Regional

More to come....
Reserved Numbers
Some rule changes

[StephenB]

Yikes! Lots of NJ and we have 3 races in June
Any chance those rules changes will allow us to drop some races? I can't afford all that travel and time off in 1 month. One thing I loved about the way it was, was 1 race per month...

I will still certainly do some since I love the group and I love the series

If you talk real nice to Darrell and me, I think that we can get you an NJ Green Card so you can race in New Jersey as much as you want. We had Club races on Thunderbolt and Lightning scheduled before Grand Am came along so we ended up with three events.

There are not a lot of Club Racing events that can or want to support a Pro IT race in our geographic area. When the Lime Rock National popped back on the schedule after a year's hiatus, it landed in the middle of two of our traditional events.

Any chance those rules changes will allow us to drop some races? I can't afford all that travel and time off in 1 month. One thing I loved about the way it was, was 1 race per month...

Since it looks like we will have one additional race next year, having a drop is a possibility.

See ya at the races

Does Grand AM allow for a drop race? Just sayin....

I am looking for a rental car to race in the NEDIV Pro-IT series races. If you have a car, contact me with a price. I am interested in all of the races except the June 23-24 race at NJMP.

Thanks
