    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?

    Quoted so it doesn't get lost. Combine groups that are undersubscribed and make room for more $$$$$$$ !!!!! Cash in on the people who are actually willing to give you some money!!!!!

    Suggestion:
    Group 2: FV, F500, FF right now.....FOUR cars.
    Group 4: FA, FC, FE, FM, FB, CSR, DSR, S2000.....SIX cars.

    69 cars registered. 22 of them SM's.

    Why not have 2 Pro IT groups? LOL. Poor organizers. Between a (Lime) rock and a hardplace.

    ELEVEN classes, TEN cars, TWO groups! Why, do ANY of them have to do more than take the green to get the trophy? Sheesh.

    In before the "Formula Atlantic cars CAN NOT share the track with a Formula Vee, the closing rates are deadly...".....ummm, really, it looks like there will only be one car nearly every fifth of a mile...passing can't be THAT hard, especially considering that it looks like there's no reason to actually race....(assuming all 4 or 6 cars aren't in the same class.)

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