Figured I'd give you all a head's up that ITR has been moved to the ITA/SM5/T2/T3 group for the 2013 MARRS season.
The other IT group will be: ITS/ITB/ITC/SRX7/T4/B-Spec

No - because the "problem" is fixed. It will be great to see the flood of parked ITR cars come back to MARRS.

The CRC was working with several of the things that drivers have told us for a number of years:
1. They want more racing.
I was pushing very hard for every Summit MARRS race weekend to be a double sanction. With the Labor Day hootenanny to be a triple sanction. This was not met with joy by several of the the worker specialty reps. So, we compromised with a two day double sanction to start the season.
2. Different weekend format. The old format was getting stale. We had to switch things up.
3. Points chase. After last year, with five away race weekends of which three were double sanctions, we got a lot of complaints from drivers that they had to go to too many away races to win a championship. If you look at how the points are structured for 2013 the Summit MARRS races are "front weighted", since each race is 300 points for the the winner (300 for Saturday race win, 300 for Sunday race win).
If you want to win a MARRS championship in a hotly contested class you will have to go to the away races. In most classes you will still need to go to one away race to secure a championship.
The goal was to keep the series fresh and exciting, with out bleeding the members dry financially.

I respect what you guys are trying to do with MARRS but I am not understanding how more sanctions necessarily equate to more racing. If the April weekend has two sanctions and two races and the June weekend has one sanction and two races with the same schedule, it seems like the only benefit of the second sanction in April is an additional accounting entry at license renewal time.1. They want more racing.

BTW this isn't a MARRS 'thing'. Many regions and many drivers feel that two sanctions are twice as much racing regardless of how much track time is available. This has been one of Terry's pet peeves for a long time.
