I hope people don't attack you guys for trying something new.[/b]
Don't worry Ben, most of the folks involved in this project have been around this board for several years now, and most of us have pretty thick skins.

I have to echo what Jeff and Kirk have said. This is something that all the people involved compromised a bit on, which, as Kirk mentioned, is a pretty good indication of concensus. Our #1 goal, that were all in agreement with, was that ITR would be 'just another IT class'. That means no extras that none of the other classes get (with the simple nod to the wider wheels). No alternate brakes, no alternate cams, no wings, nothing but what any ITC-ITS car would get.

Based on some of the un-official 'official' preliminary feedback we've gotten, I'm optimistic that we're on the verge of a new day in IT. Getting something like this off the ground, and implemented w/in a year, is light-speed in normal SCCA-time. I'd like to thank all the members of the project team, and say that it was a pleasure to work with you!

And maybe, just maybe, when ITR is implemented, we might even be able to retire
