    Plus, I will not necessarily be the fastest ITA car there next weekend. The ITA Meoters *should* be faster then me

    I think you've also had a sort of different ITA/ITS experience this year than the norm. As far as I can recall the really fast ITS cars have been mostly absent when you have been running. Steve Parrish was broken at Roebling last time, Steve E wasn't running, Jeff Young was broken, Ira was MIA, Flynn MIA, Williams MIA, Spillman MIA, and Perry was chasing evil handling all weekend/year.

    I think if the top end ITS drivers/cars are all present and accounted for they won't be holding the A race up. I know Roebling is friendly to momentum cars but those upper echelon S cars are fast there too.

    Default road blocks....

    HI Tom,
    all.... I love to run at Roebling. Roebling Road was my first experience in a Z on any track.... As most all drivers on track, I will gladly move aside for any faster ITS points contenders, or ita cars battling for position.

    That's funny, you are definately NOT a roadblock!

    I'm studying your tapes for the ARRC. Along with Chet's old tapes.

    Set mine aside..... Focus on Chet, he utilized way more track then I, and properly.

    David carves some pretty nice lines himself......

    The generally lighter weight on the A cars helps the most at Roebling I think.....

    That could totally be it too We'll see what happens. Fun either way. The only frustrating thing is that after flatspotting a tire to hell at Daytona, I get to buy a brand new hoosier just to run it at the test day. argh

    I have a solution. All the ITA cars will be required to run an extra 200# of "show off" ballast. This should alleviate any need for a split start.
