I haven't seen anyone from MiDiv reply to this thread so I will.
In MidIv National races are run as Regional/National weekends twice a year at five different tracks (10 National races) The Regional is ran on Saturday and the National is ran on Sunday. Every Reg/Nat race I have been to for the last 7-8 years has had a Restricted Regional race on Sunday for IT and SM.
The restricted regional race group always includes all IT classes (S, A, B, C, 7 and E) and SM either mixed together on grid or with a split start between SM and IT. Once or twice this year we have given SM their own group (they qulaify with IT in the AM) if their numbers and the schedule warrants it. In most cases the IT/SM group is the largest for the weekend so we earn our spot.
We never have restricted regionals on Sunday for clars that could run in a National class. For example, I have never seen a restricted regional for Club Formula Ford for example. A class like this is recognized in the Saturday Regional race but on Sunday they run, if they enter, with the rest of the FF's.
There are some classes and cars that are excluded as a result like Legends, Baby Grands, ASR, Super Production, etc. That's life.
