21 BMW 328is Rob Thiele, NorthEast

others I know, all NorthEast:
20 BMW 325 Rob Nimkoff
28 BMW 325 John Harrison
80 BMW 325 Ian Prout
Porsche 968 Ben Phillips
BMW 325 Doc Aziz
BMW 325 Terry Fischer
BMW 325 Ken "Hubbardini" Hubbard
Honda S2000 Steve Ulfelder
BMW 325 Matt Rooke

96 BMW 325 Jay Baier
18 BMW 328 Dave Maynard
Honda S2000 Valerie Heun

We also had a 330, a 911 and another S2000 registered for the Glen I believe. I am sure I missed some.

We've had 24 different people enter ITR races this year in SEDiv (15 or 16 from Florida, 7 or 8 elsewhere). Just off the top of my head I can remember several BMW 325s and a couple Z3s, Porsche 911, three or four 944s and 968s, a 300ZX, an RX8 and a Supra. The complete list is on the SEDiv website under SARRC points (names only). I can dig out the cars for each driver if someone really wants it.

I may start racing 2014. I will do some testing next summer to judge how competitive the car can be at different tracks with full suspension and basic motor work. No cage and extra weight though. Then if it looks like the car can be a front runner, i will gut and cage and hope for the best.
My major hesitation right now is the car count. I enjoy the large spec miata fields I am in, but I am starting to get bored of the spec class, and would like the diversity of the itr cars.

[StephenB]

Where are you Kevin? We get some big fields around here. Hoing to see us hit 20 cars in one race next year!

Stephen

[kevin22]

I looked at every result in the northeast. 3-7 cars seems to be the norm. Fields appear bigger sometimes because of the ITS cars.

[StephenB]

Looks like 11 was the largest field this past year at the Glen . Looks like about 30 cars here in the northeast so a 20 car field is certainly possible! I hope we can make it happen since racing is certainly a lot more fun than lapping Since the glen region is the hot spot maybe we should all start planning know!

I just saw this post in the ITR SCCA facebook group and I think it may be the first ever Chevy in ITR! It got me thinking how many cars to we now have here in the northeast? how about the rest of the country?

The rest of the country doesn't include the west coast?

Oh yeah, that's right, all of the ITR cars I know of in California are no longer actively running in ITR. We had 4 cars here in SFR, at least two in SoCal, and I've heard of a couple in the Seattle area.

[Knestis]

ITNT points show almost 30 there...

Porsche 968 here in the Southeast, I know of 3 other cars being built for the 2013 season.

Actually, we were at one time up to three in So-Pac. But we don't count because I went to STU, Bryan Lampe has decided to go back to rowing/Crew, and John Norris will be running in E-Prod.

Go Joel! My 968 has been solid :-) You'll do well with it!

[benspeed]

My post was misleading - Joel built one I'm keeping mine for awhile!

[lawtonglenn]

[mossaidis]

'Zackly. Hasn't he had that car for, like, two "seasons" now? Isn't that a freakin' Benspeed Automotive ADD freakin' record...?
