maybe they will do a split start[/b]
I am vehemently opposed to such grouping...[/b]
They can already race in Groups 1, 4, 5 & 7.... They need their own Group 9?[/b]
I cannot commit without discussing it with the ARRC Committee, but I CAN guarantee that your input will be considered before I send the Supps to Topeka for approval.

Why not just take the 2005 groupings add SSM to ITS? Here is why I think it works:
- SSM is bound to be small enough as to not overfill the RG
- SSM/SM's have high cornering speeds and won't hold up ITS cars
- ITS cars should be able to power by on the straights
- The speed differential coupled with the split start should keep clean racing for a long while.
The bottom line is that SOMEBODYS class has to be the slowest of a run-group and the top cars of that class will always tangle with the back-side of the 'faster' class...the PTB need to cater to the premier classes (what the definition of that is up for discussion and may be Region specific) in this respect.

I can see this will get ugly, no matter what happens. Name one slower class that wants to run with a faster one? The problem I read above is that ITB doesn't want to run with ITS because they're too much faster (and too slower); the ITA guys don't want to run with ITS because the times are too close (or not close enough.)
Face it: no one will get their own run group, especially the slower ITB and ITC classes. There's just too many cars that have to fit into a tight time budget. So, with that said, which faster group DO you want to run with?
For the record: I firmly believe that putting ITS and ITA together is a terrible idea, for all the reasons stated above. However, I also realize that by doing so you will be handing me a SIGNIFICANT competitive advantage, one that I will use to my extreme advantage...And THAT, my friends, really sucks on multiple levels.
I do not want to win a race because someone else got held up, but I'll do it without a bit of remorse.
