ITR to run w/ ITA/SM5/T3 at MARRS Labor Day Doubl

[StephenB]

Yes they do! After all the bitching about ITR this and ITR that - PLEASE show up! Several of us worked very hard to have ITR included in the Grand-Am support race @ Mid-Ohio this year to have exactly 0 cars enter in ITR. With that lack of support, I wouldn't look for that class to be included if the event is held again... (just my .02¢)

I would have included that on my schedule if it wasn't decided last minute. I can't decide to make a 12hr plus tow after my $$ is planned out for the season already. Make these decisions in December and you may get more people to show up. I get that some of us racers have a flexible job schedule and extra money to make last minute plans but my money and vacation plans are set over the winter. I had posted the question on this site multiple times when trying to plan my season.

Are there that many ITR drivers racing currently? I know we've only had one ITR car run in a MARRS event this year, and when we were down at VIR there were a couple of SARRC ITR cars. Are there more up north?

[StephenB]

Lots of us up north. I bet 15+ but I haven't added everyone up to be honest. I know of at least two more being built as well. another thing to realize if I were to travel to a marrs race or mid Ohio I would need to give up 3 other race weekends just from travel costs!

This whole event was last minute... In December, we didn't even know this was a possibility again for us to do. I appreciate the schedule comment, but around here we don't even have race dates from M-O until early in the current year. So planning a race season in December isn't an option for folks around here. (for the most part) Several of us pushed hard to get ITR included in the event to have exactly 0 show up. The event was a sell-out with a waiting list for ITS-ITC and SM. We had the cleanest and closest racing of the weekend and I believe everyone had a blast.
