I am not in favor of combining National and Regional races into just one big catagory of 'club races' Aside from being qualifying races for the Runoffs, National and Regional races generally are different distances with National races requiring more attention to tire management, etc.

I am still on the fence as far as IT going National. I see pros and cons. On one hand, I would not like to see the prestige of the ARRC deminished. Atlanta has built up this event on there own and deserves a lot of credit. But it would sure be nice to see IT receive some TV air time that in some form or another we help fund being members of the SCCA (or USSR, I mean USCR - Union of Sports Car Regions -tongue out of cheek now).
