    I applaud the organizers for inclusion in the weekend. I am glad to see that IT may be getting its due from several places in the club racing circles. We'll do our best to attend. I am passing on entering another "racing organization's" enduro to stretch the budget a bit for the SCCA and this addition to the schedule.


    Or maybe I could just pay you, Mr. Peterson, a small fee to insure those guys stay out of first place?

    I am going to try to be there. Hopefully we have a big turnout for the weekend. By the way Bud, I am pushing my wife hard to let me bring the racecar to gateway in a few weeks. We were already planning a trip over but not for racing. If I get my way I will meet you there.

    So I guess it will be the Matt/Scott fund I need to contribute to! If you do make it over come by our spot on the north side of the garages.

    Shoot, I'll be out of town... I'd like to check out what you've done to the RX7.

    so.......i have a few questions.

    a friend contacted me about co-driving sometime this year, as he needs one more race to keep his liscense active, and this is the only weekend that fits our schedule. how is the entry fee going to be structured? i would hope there's a significant discount to account for the 3 track sessions rather than 4? if i run qual and the race on sat, would he be allowed to start at the back of the grid on sun?

    The sup's and entry forms are not ready to be published at this time but should be shortly. I can't comment regarding the specific cost of this event for the IT Tour but I am certain that it will be much less than what the National drivers are paying.

    As far as co-driving is concerned and a starting position for the second race - that would need to be discussed with the Racechair and or the SOM. This should be something that can be answered when the entry forms are finalized and available.

    It will be good to see you on track this year!

    thanks Scott, good to hear about the reduced entry. whether it will/should be lower than what the RR was I don't know, but i'm glad someone is acknowledging that the rate should be significantly less than the NN.

    i figured the co-driving thing would be a question for the people in white shirts. there are still a lot of obstacles to overcome to do this, but there's a chance. i've been itching real bad for the last month or so.

    If your funding includes a set of new Hoosier tires I am sure I can help you! However that would not be a "small fee."

    Hey hey now fellas. Don't leave me out of the bidding war. I can be had for only a half a set of hoosiers. However, the more tires you contribute the more mechanical problems I am likely to have. For some towing money I will even tape the entire race from behind you. Although, if I can't keep up, I'm not responsible for keeping you in view of the camera.

    Seriously though, I am pumped at the numner of 7's that have shown up this year. And Topeka looks to have plenty. I doubt I'll make any other races this year, but Topeka is a definite yes.

    Well, it appears I have a "bidding war" on my hands now to deal with in IT7! I really am hoping we can come out as we would love to race on the track even if its from the back of the pack.

    Yea - IT7 racing looks strong this year and that is great! EP-LIte is how I like to think of it. All the fun without all the body work!!!!!

    BTW I can contribute extra tapes for your film making! I may even have a set of 13" snow tires you can use if that helps to keep you in optimum video range
