Memorial Day NHMS 2014

I am not whining, I WANT to stay in group 2. Based on the past history I can see it being moved. Just trying to get a feel what JB would be thinking of doing. I think we are only 4 cars from max (42 @ NHMS?)

i heard some scuttlebut last night that if group 2 is over subscribed ITB could be moved to group 4. likely the least trauma move.

I Love the idea of most (missing ITC) of the IT cars all running together! I liked this a lot when it came out last year. with only 20 or so cars in a run group you can easily be running alone. With 30+ cars we should all have someone to race with as long as everyone is smart on the start! I see no reason to splt out any classes unless we reach the track max

I agree, the only session that it is a pain is qualifying shooting for the clean lap but in the race i always thought a full track was more fun.

So now that I've got the debate going on switching up the run groups............

So I'm guessing the IT7 paddock area is the place to be.............. Do I need a password or special handshake to get in?? Oh wait, I forgot who I'm dealing with.......... just bring some food or alcohol and i should be good!!

[StephenB]

Interesting fact..... about 50% of all entries including SRF and open wheel cars are mazdas... never really looked before someone just mentioned this to me but not surprised either.

At some point you truly do realize that resistance is futile...look at the number of people in this thread alone that have left "other viable options" and bought a Miata...

In a IT7 car or anything?

I did 1:20.8 last week on the chicane/chicane config :-)

That won't work very well already 32 cars in that group!

[Andy Bettencourt]

What does racing a Miata have to do with a run group conversation? Maybe this is the year the converts will go faster in their 'new' cars than they did in there non-Mazda products! LOL

Bottom line? If the IT guys can't make the numbers to break out the groups than I think it's kinds cool to have the whole class in a group. ITA has been spoiled for a long time being the 'fastest' class on paper in their group so it's time to gave some fun with faster cars.

Back in the day, (1979 RX-7) didn't we all run together ?????long time ago

[Raceman77]

The gate is always open jeff. we don't lock anyone out. we just shun them. you know where we are at. just do paddock in my spot.

[StephenB]

Bummer, up to 46 entries now so if anyone is running the school and gets signed off we will have even more. Looks likely a split is very likely at this point
