Agreed. Big deal for ITC in Ohio, WNY and MI too.
We are more or less home-based at Nelson Ledges, so there can be a lot of bad knocks from those "not-in-the know" on account of that.

Relatively speaking. Fields have been small and it sure isn't was it was like several years ago. Too bad. Hopefully this will change and IT will grow.Wow. IT and ITA are strong in the northeast!

Problem is, there are no "newer" cars of that performance level...the Toyota Yaris, Fiat 500, Mazda 2 all put out ITB power. Hell, the Hyundai Accent is ITA power!
And no one is going to want to take one of the above into ITC when they can run Spec-B (as long as it lasts). And participation in Spec-B - with all the manufacturer support - shows how little interest there is in racing cars like that.
Maybe the 84hp Chevy Spark? What else? 74hp Mitsu Mirage?
The Smart Car...?
Adds new clarity to the term "regional racing"...

Some eye opening numbers there for sure....I had assumed IT was as popular elsewhere in the country as it is here in the NE.
Is it really dying or were the numbers never there everywhere else?

I have caged a large number of BMW's here in the northeast in the last few years and most are NASA youngsters that want wings and splitters and automatic paddle shifters. The rest are BMWcca guys. Increasing number of young guys do not know how to drive with a clutch pedal.
