This would be my first attempt at Mid Ohio. Is there a driver coach you would recommend for the PDX/practice day?

I had Jeremy Lucas (from Fast Technology - a DL1 retailer) help me out last year. I so didn't get the track the first few sessions, but in the end it eventually came together (most of it, that is). 614-216-9552

Todd,
According to the GCR...regional Spec Miata is an open tire rule, but specicfic regional events can be "spec". Is the IT Fest one of those "spec" events for Miata? Curious tire people would like to know.

No on SSM. SSM rules state Toyo only.
I know that drivers from the NARRC, NERRC and MARRS series will have to buy 2-3 sets of Hoosiers to be comeptitive just for this event as they are all spec Toyo on the Regional level. That is a tough pill to swallow and I doubt you will see much travel from those drivers to this event if you keep that rule. But you may not need any out-of-towners for SM...
So Andy...
Every Spec Maita driver in the above mention series in the NE must runs Toyo's on a regional level? Or they just do?

I know that the NARRC and NERRC HAVE TO run Toyo's and am 99% sure that the MARRS series runs Toyo's as well...all per the series regs.
Andy,
Thanks for the info. We had 39 SM drivers last year with the open tire rule but I don't know how many traveled from the North East. I'll have to check. Sounds like SSM won't have a problem since everyone will be from the North East anyway and will be running Toyo.
I only recognize one or two NE names...but again, you had 39, so you don't really need to 'fill' that field with out-o-towners.
I think that NYSRRC SM is still an open tire

Todd,
For the 3rd race, maybe you guys should consider a PRO IT RACE. This idea is spreading up and down the mid atlantic states. NJ region is putting in place a PRO IT schedule for 2008 and as you know it is big in the Atlanta Region and is run @ ARRC. IMO this deserves serious consideration and is a fantastic idea.

Dan,
My thinking is if we were to do such a thing for the third race then everyone would have to pay. I would prefer it being an extra race if it were to happen and I'm not sure we could pull it off this year with the schedule as tight as it is. Plus it would be nice to have it connected in some way with a series. Butch and I have been bouncing the triple crown concept back and forth and feel it has real potential. Wanna be the primary sponsor?
