I would just as soon allow the Hoosier A tires back. If the concensus is to continue the ban on the A tire I will certainly live with that.

And give up your dominance of ITA to play with the real boys? (and yes, that was a challenge; it's been too long since I wet 5 turns side-by-side with a white BMW)

So who's spearheading any "A" ban? Randy, Christian?
So far, from this thread or people I've talked to, this is what it looks like:

Ban the Hoosier "A"
Randy Shaw
Christian Cook
Matthias Ochs
Greg Blastic
Lynn Kraft
Greg Steen
Rob Martin

Keep the Open DOT Rule
Alex Pagani (if you decide to step it up 8) )
Bruce Wentzel (Steve Djelebian)

Charlie Tobel and Joe Calabrese can take it or leave it. What about Seth Rowley, Liz Hammond, Mike Ofiara?

Greg, in the list of people you have banning the A, I haven't heard from Lynn, Greg, or Rob Martin on this. And the jury is still out on your vote! You racing? :oops:

Yes, I'm racing! What I'm racing, I don't know yet but rest assured, I'll be in an ITS car.
I did speak with Lynn and Rob. I'm inferring from Christians post that Greg Steen would hold his position from last year.
Probably too late anyway if no one feels strongly enough about it to take the leadership role. I don't.

So what do we need to do to make it official. Still should be great racing, but will keep the costs down.

:lol: I'm trying to figure out how to hold my fenders on with velcro so that I can start running in the open wheel groups also! :lol:

Alex you are correct. I was thinking of the big picture. R's will be just as much fun as A's if everybody uses the same tires. I'd even be happy to use Toyo RA-1's if everybody would agree. (I need to use them for SM anyways, where the racing is really close also).

Just want to get the issue moving one way or another.

No worries Alex, I could feel the love...and it would be fun to have you in the mix again. The Mazdas chasing the German cars!
Or maybe this year it'll be vice-versa!
At any rate, I've got a year of seat time to make up so I'lll be happy just to race.............yeah right, for trhe first weekend anyway!
Randy, looks like you're elected to lead the charge!

Mmmm. For some Miata drivers, that might be seen as a good feature for running WITH the fenders... :oops:

Greg,

My understanding is that the 99 Miata is the new ITS car to have. You may want to investgate a little further on this?

I've heard that Chris (and seen results). Yes, now let's see.......... where did I leave my checkbook........? Or better yet, where the heck is Charlie or Randy's checkbook? 8)

Even better yet, spend some of Randy's money and Chris C's money, have them buy RX-7's and, wala, we have spec ITS at Waterford :oops:

See'n as how Alex won't run without Hoosier A's :mrgreen:

Many great ideas floating around here, especially the spec RX7 series. How about a Germany vs. Japan Cup? We could name it the Axis cup (although that's not very PC) and maybe that will get Alex P to play, er race, with some one other than than himself!
