Although combining ITS with TCC was a regretable decision on my part, the 2007 schedule has been out for two months with ITR & ITS as stand-alone sessions so I don't buy the theory that guys are still ticked about last year. Let me know if I'm wrong and how we can make up for that.

As far as "starting to bury the IT cars deep into varied run groups", let's look at the numbers as of 5:00 yesterday afternoon:

Group 3 - ITB (16) + ITC (6) = 22 total
Group 5 - IT7 (9) + ITA (31) = 40 total
Group 6 - ITR (2) + ITS (8) = 10 total

Adding the 4 ITT's and 1 SRX into Group 3 still keeps it an IT-centric group. Granted the 7 SPU cars in Group 6 dilutes the product there, but 17 cars total is still the smallest run group out there. And 31 ITA cars are still signed up, so how come I didn't piss THOSE guys off?

I'm willing to listen to why guys are staying home and be as flexible as possible, but I also need to make sure the event stays financially viable for Atlanta Region.
