I'm attaching the proposed Schedule that is currently under review by the Stewards and Race Board. Once I have their approval we'll be sending it off to Topeka.

I've talked to our new for 2008 Chief Steward Laurie Sheppard about split starts. While she's not a fan of them, she's "okay" with them as long as we have two pace cars (which we will). She also understands the nature of this event makes a split start more desireable, and has agreed with my request to do split starts in most if not all the run groups.

Proposed Groups:

Group 1: ITB, ITC, ITT, SRX
Group 2: ASM, DP, ITU
Group 3: GP, IT7, ITA
Group 4: ITR, ITS, SPU, SSM
Group 5: BP, ITO, ST, TCC
Group 6: ASR, CFC, FB, FS
Group 7: GTA, SPO
Group 8: CF, FFX, FST
Group 9: Pro-IT – ASM, IT7, ITA, ITB, ITC, ITR, ITS, ITT, ITU, SRX, SSM
Group 10: “Bonus” Race – ASR, CF, CFC, FB, FFX, FS
Group 11: Enduro – ASM, IT7, ITA, ITB, ITC, ITO, ITR, ITS, ITT, ITU, SRX, SSM
