To clarify something i missed, ITNT races are *not* separate events or groups added to weekends. They are existing races (e.g., the SARRC-MARRS at VIR) that historically attract good IT fields. The goal is to have one ITNT "Elective" points event (often a double, so drivers have two opportunities to score) in each geographic region. Drivers combine the points from their ONE best Elective race with their finishes from the ARRC and 'fest, for their season total.

The 2013 ITNT points have been updated to include the IT Fest results...

We have many super-close races - ties in many cases - within classes so it's shaping up to be a very competitive season. If you are looking to improve your points, make sure you enter popular races (you get points for beating people in addition to finishing in front) and start planning now for the ARRC.

9 points simply finishing races at ITfest! Broken cars and nervous noob drivers can get points it appeArz!
OK, I'm confused. Apparently, only the points from one race on double events counts, or your formulas are not adding across the columns. It appears that Ron Earp should have 39 total points, but only shown with 22. What happened to the 17 points from VIR2? Same thing across the board. Maybe I missed the explanation where only the highest point from a double event counts, and the other is thrown out.

IT Tour Segments: The three Segments that make up the IT National Tour are as follows:
1. The I.T. SPEC*tacular (IT-Fest)
2. The American Road Race of Champions Presented by Grassroots Motorsport (ARRC by GRM)
3. A driver’s best finish at no more than one of several “Elective” races located throughout the country
Elective Race Procedures:
If a driver participates in multiple Elective races, only their best finish (highest points total) will count for IT National Tour points
If there are multiple races of the same length (a Double MARRS, for instance), each race will count as an Elective race and be scored separately
At a co-sanctioned weekend (such as the SARRC/MARRS at VIR) the entire class will be scored as one regardless of series affiliation. i.e. – if you finish first in ITS for SARRC but fifth overall in ITS, you will get fifth place points.

The "Tour" points total is a based on a driver's tally from the IT Fest, the ARRC, and their best "elective" race score from among the eligible events in the calendar. Points for each event are based on finishing position and the number of drivers beaten on-track.
The committee that created the points system last year didn't want it to be another contest decided based on who could afford to travel to the most events (or was lucky enough to be located where races are plentiful). (See also, "SEDiv Championship.") We also wanted to *not* reward cherry-picking races with low turnouts, therefore the bonus-for-beating-people scheme.
A PERFECT Tour total would be 66 points. Tom Martin got to 59 last year in ITB, which was pretty amazing.
