Why not just have SCCA national office officially recognize the ARRC as the national championship event for IT and the other regional classes? It already unofficially holds that status. No need to try to fit all the IT classes into the Runoffs week, with the attendent problems of bumping poorly subscribed classes, etc. Maintain the ARRC (wherever it may be held) as a separate event, but give it official national championship recognition.

Maybe because it's crazy-inconvienent for 3/4 of the country to get to? If you did hold it someplace that made sense, then the SCCA might as well just add another week of racing at the Runoffs.

I wonder if Mid-Ohio would like a 'IT-Festival' to fill the space that was occupied by the Runoffs...
