TeamDI.com Pro IT Race - Lime Rock - May 15

[dtanthon]

As of today we have 42 entered with a waitlist. We will have 42 cars take to the track for qualifying. We will have a 15 minute qualifying session (if things are clean we may get more time) before lunch.

We will have the last race of Saturday that will be 45 minutes or till 5:55 race.

We will hand out NHMS prize checks, NHMS ITR trophies and LRP trophies after the event at the winners stand.

We will publish the waitlist process in the coming days. If you entered the Pro IT and know you will NOT be driving please withdraw so someone on the waitlist can get in.

Going to be a great race! Wish I could join in the fun as well.

Out for the National. In for the Regional and Pro IT. I guess it's simply first come, first served. It's a 'Pro race'. Maybe make us qualify to get in.

The math is tough but you take the pole-sitters in each of the 7 classes and you fill the field with the 35 closest cars to the pole in their respective class. Give the guys who don't make it half their money back...

Banzai Ben is ready for LRP - lemme tell ya - winning and then getting moved to last has put the psycho back in me again...

Coming up early Friday - getting my new tires and handing out free beer to my competitors whilst drinking club soda...free tequila shooters for any ITR drivers.

Maybe make us qualify to get in.

It's still Club Racing even with the "Pro" name. People make financial and time sacrifices to attend these races and they should know going into if if they'll be racing or not. It should be first come first served.

As a outsider, I like AB's idea best.

If you were driving 5 or 6 hours to the event and were a mid to back of the pack driver, would you then still? Just like I wouldn't want the ARRC to be that way or any other SCCA Club event.

If the National is light on competitors is there any chance they would combine a few groups and make room for a second Pro-IT group?

It's still Club Racing even with the "Pro" name.

Why? A series is whatever you want it to be, no?

Ben ya might want to extend that offer to the ITA boys....you don't want to be getting in the way of their race, right??

To expand on Darrell's comments: The NEDiv Executive Steward has granted TeamDI Pro IT a waiver of GCR 6.4.1.B to allow us to start 42 cars based on the positive experiences in our first two seasons. All accepted entries will be able to race. The Qualifying session is only for starting positions.

Because we have a waitlist for this event, I will second Darrell's request that accepted entries who know they will not race notify the Registrar that you are withdrawing as soon as possible so that we can add the next competitor from the waitlist.

See ya at Lime Rock
