IT-Miata Shootout @ Mid-Ohio June 8-10 *Grand-Am Weekend*

[dhardison]

Kevin Ruck (or anyone who knows) is there a limit to the number of crew members we can have at this event? On MotorsportsReg it indicates the usual $10.00 charge for each crew member over the typical 3 that we can have for our registration fee. If I want my boys to come (crew members #4 and #5) do I just need to pay the extra $20?

Thanks!

That's the way it was last year (and for all OVR races for that matter). I usually sign up the three free members via MotorsportsReg.com, then just add any additional crew when I personally register at the track. That way they can pay the $10 themselves when they arrive and if they don't show I haven't wasted the $$$.

The official schedule for this weekend is posted here:

This looks way, way cool. Perhaps the niftiest part is the fact that we will be on track qualifying immediately before the Rolex race, which means lots and lots of folks will indeed be "accidently" watching us.

13 racers are registered thus far at motorsportsreg.com . . .

Sounds like you're free for the Grattan regional

Gonna be at/in a wedding for one of my best friends that weekend.

What Dan said.

Ordered my new go-fast parts for the ITA car yesterday, hoping to make it's front end work closer to the FP cars (i.e. good). If it works how I'm hoping, and with the track having an insane amount of Hoosier R6 compound scrubbed into the it (Rolex & CTSCC "Continental" tires), I'm really looking forward to seeing how it goes there!

25 Entered as of today - NO ITR and NO ITC yet... Come on guys! Only 1 ITC car last year (this year is a points event - as requested) and all the 'conversation' about including ITR (finally got ITR added - as requested). Some of us pushed hard to get ITR-ITC & SM included in this weekend. Let’s get some entries and use this opportunity to showcase IT/SM!

Might get a couple of the new ITC guys using it for the track time. As a points race it doesn't really work for us because it is only a single race (when it could be at least a double, or even better a triple IMO), and with so many faster classes the odds of ITC actually getting to race together is fairly slim. (edit: note: I'm not complaining, just explaining our thought process.)

But, if Grattan falls thru, it is the logical replacement. It's nearing the time for the boys to fish or cut bait on Grattan...

I'll be swarming around in the middle with a bunch of Meotters. I may need to start taking "donations" from bump draft partners on the back straight....

Yeah, I'll help push you along....

I appreciate the info. Thanks! Making it a points event (yea - just a single) was done to 'help' make it attractive to the ITC folks who told me they didn't come last year due to no points being available.

The # of classes will not have an impact on classes running together. Just like any other regional weekend, there will be backmarkers. But putting them behind you shouldn't be an issue.

This will be a great weekend!! We tried to adjust (points event and inviting ITR) to draw a full field. We will see how it turns out.

28 cars registered over 5 weeks out - I think it's shaping up rather nicely.
