    Come on fellows, get some SIC vids up!!! I want to see how things shook out.

    I missed being at the race(s). But ITS guys are still here and 2011 is poised to be quite a strong year for the class. Two new ITS racers are joining us; Byran Parrish in a 2nd gen RX7 and Ed Palombo in a 260Z. I think both are going to be great additions to the class and tough competitors.

    I have been out of racing for the last couple of months due to some family obligations and Jeff has been in sort of the same boat with work duties. We're both planning on Goblins Go at VIR and a strong 2011 though.

    I'll be out of the ARRC though pending a possible seat in the 13 hour. Not sure on the rest of the guys. Missing hanging out at the track and seeing all you guys but hopefully 2011 will be a lot of fun.

    12 S cars signed up for Goblins Go. Some new faces, and some old ones coming back (Rex Deffenbaugh!).

    Good sign for car counts. That's 12 S cars without Steve E., Kent, Zsolt, David Spillman, Mike Mackaman -- lots of regulars "out." If those guys showed up, we'd have 15 cars at Goblins easy which is 2-3 times what we usually get.

    Sux that the goblins has to compete with the ARRC. I would love to see the all the S crew together at one race at the end of the year.

    Come to the ARRC!!!

    it'd be great of if some of the goblins crowd would come to the ARRC, since i'll be in the A race this year i'd like to be able to watch a good S race.

    any reason you guys are choosing goblins over the ARRC, is it just a proximity issue?

    Same reason every year actually.

    Our regional championship race is the first or second week in October.

    Goblins is then the next to last week in October. It's a VIR, a great track that doesn't eat cars, and is about 1:30 from my door.

    Most the local S guys I run with go to Goblins, the weather is cool, the track fast and it is always a great event.

    The weekend after is the 13 hour, which consumes a shit load of time and money.

    So, by the time the ARRC rolls around, I've raced 3 out of the previous 4 weeks, am tired, broke and don't want to touch a race car.

    I wish the scheudle wasn't this way, and every year we say we are going to focus on the ARRC, and then an opportunity to do the 13 hour comes up and we don't go to the ARRC.

    A few years ago the schedule was better. The SIC was in September, where there are no other racers in the SE region. So, you could go to the SIC, do family Fall things until GG, 13 Hour, and/or the ARRC.

    Having F\four major events in five weekends is poor planning. SIC, skip one week, Goblin's Go, 13 Hour, and the ARRC. Not a good lineup for the average racer with a family.
