ITAC News.

[Doc Bro]

Two out, two in.

Long time member Geroge Roffe, (and frequent IT.com poster, back in the "Miller Days", has been struggling with work and life related time issues. (I think he must've gotten a new hottie GF, LOL) and found that things were getting spread too thin. And Bob Clarke, andother long timer, is racing more in the prod category, and has some pressing family issues,.....so.....

We got lucky. Scott has lots of IT experience, and has been an occasional critic of the SCCA way, and even the ITAC, so having him on board is kinda cool.

And Jeff has shown lots of hard work on the ITACs behalf in the past. He and Ron Earp answered the phone when i called and said, "You know that list of cars too fast for ITS? Time to get that going", and along with the "ITR ad hoc" guys, created that class. Giles was in on that too.

So, both have a lot going for them: they are active IT racers, they represent cars and classes that helps the ITAC remain diversified. (We REALLY needed some Brit car expertise!) and they are geographically ok too.

So, if you see them at the track feel free to pat them on the back or kick them in the butt, LOL.

Oh...on edit, the current ITAC is;

Andrew Bettencourt, Grand Poobah
Josh Sirota, West Coaster
Kirk Knestis Resident Policy Doc
Marshall Lytle BMW insurgent
Lee Graser "For the People!"
Les Chaney "Just Say No!"
Jeff Young, British Liaison
Scott Giles Resident Honda guru
and me,

Jake,

I heard that your seat was up for grabs to whoever could register a higher post count than yours by year end. Is that true????

Only Kirk has a shot, and he's already on board, but go for it man!

(High post counts are the sign of oldness or weirdness, both are bad!)

[Ron Earp]

Congratulations to Jeff and Scott. I think both will improve the ITAC composition and help further Improved Touring within the club. Nice picks, enjoy!

As Jake noted I have been racing a lot in Nationals ( GTL) and my kids are at the age that Im doing a lot more with them so, it was getting more and more difficult to devote the time needed to properly do my job on the ITAC . I still have my ITB car and hope I can get it out next year with my son driving it for his first SCCA drivers school. The ITAC is a great group of guys and believe me they have nothing but the best interests of the class at heart. Sure sometimes things don't happen has fast as some people like BUT they are all volunteers and put in a lot of time and effort to make IT a great class.

Miller had the record for a long time, and I was second. Then I got a new job, Miller DID get a hottie GF, and Jake got his second win.

Rob,

Jake is the biggest post whore going. Good Luck.

Andy, what was your screen name before you switched to AB? Didn't you have 4000 posts or so on that name?

Combined, u da winnar, man!

On edit:

In an effort to reduce my post count, I will add this in a ninja edit. Your combined total is 5555, I think, soon, you will roll over Miller.
(Unless he snafus the GF thing!)

[Andy Bettencourt]

Nope, I actually stay right where I am. ITSRX7.

Just as an added notice, read in the general thread area below for an announcement that one of the high paying, highly coveted (Man, the manufacturer perks are staggering, not to mention the God like control we yield!) has become open with Marshall Lytle's appointment to a DC dictatorship position, or some such.

Resumes being accepted...

***Miller DID get a hottie GF,***

Sure, Weisberg gets married, then Miller finds a hottie. Way to go Bill. Chances are John will come to Road America. Will the hottie let you come.

The next ITAC meeting is next Monday, 2/22/10.

I will be the new chair of the committee. We will spend the first part of next week's meeting discussing how many members we want on the committee and some of the resumes we have received to fill open seats.

We will also discuss, of course, how we will operate, especially with respect to the adjustment of existing listings.

As of right now, the change request letters to be discussed include 3 letters about the IT ruleset, 7 letters requesting new car classifications, and 7 letters requesting adjustments to existing car classifications. I sincerely hope to be able to close out some of these requests.

You can expect some updates from me after the meeting.

In general, I would sincerely appreciate your support with getting some good momentum going in order to be responsive to member requests. The more we get bogged down in politics, the less time there is to discuss good ideas that further the goal of fun, competitive, large-turnout racing in IT.
