    Seriously, ITB in with ITE and ITR?? Speed diff is pretty rough with ITR, and will be worse??

    We run with ITE (C4s, C5s, and C6s) in open practice at Waterford all the time. If I'm driving my 924 at speed - it's pretty interesting. I can't see things being better in true race conditions at a fast track...

    Shouldn't they be in Group 3????

    Now don't panic Vaughn! As you know we tend to shift things around if it looks like things are going to be out of whack. So hang on and lets see what happens.

    Good to hear, thanks. I know there's no way Merritt will even be likely to sign up if that's the grouping. It's enough managing ITR/ITS traffic... but if the ITB record holder wouldn't even go out there and mess with that situation, I don't think there'll be much interest from the slow guys either.

    Well when you figure we had 0 ITR entries in 2011 and the ITE field was mostly comprised of what would be considered vintage cars. Heck the top three ITB cars ( Tristan, Scott and Kirk) were faster by 2 seconds than three out of the five ITE entries last year.

    Merritt might have to complain about being blocked while she's lapping them.

    Again in all seriousness. We will see who and what enters, and adjust accordingly.

    Never argue your tab at the end of the night. Remember, you're hammered and they’re sober.

    Tim,

    Yes we have the PDX on Friday for $210 or if you feel comfortable instructing you could sign up to help a newbie and drive your car in the advanced/instructor group for $50. The other option is the Mid Ohio evening test & tune. Its $150 if paid in advance or $195 at the track. Read below on how to contact our Chief instructor......

    Hi everyone,

    Thought I'd put a plug in for our latest sponsor Holliday Canopies. This will be Wes Holliday's 30th year of racing. You can check out his new logo on this years I.T SPEC*tacular t-shirt.

    So far we have 15 I.T. entries out of a total of 34 participants. Another 18 folks are driving in the Friday PDX. We need instructors for a growing Novice class again this year so if you feel like giving back some of your time we would appreciate it. Its an all day commitment but in return you can run your car in the advanced/instructor group for $50. Contact Bill Niemeyer Jr. at [email protected] if interested.

    Best Regards,

    Todd
