FCs and FBs representing at the 12 Hours at the Point
I went up to see the 12 Hours at the Point today and was quite pleased to see two FBs and two FCs hashing it up with a horde of Miatas, some BMWs, two Mercedes, two Porsches, two GTIs, an Integra, a CRX, and a Neon.
Unfortunately for the RX-7s, they were overwhelmed by the Miata swarm and the Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes grunt - still, it was nice to see our marque so well represented and might big

It was a blast, anyone in the area really should look to head there sometime and check it out.
What other races are you planning on being at in the area?

) IT7 is also available only in certain regions (it's essentially a subclass of ITA). The spec tire for IT7 is a Toyo RA1 (in 205/60r13 IIRC). This was proposed in the SE region in order to try and level the playing field a little more (Hoosiers are known to be a second or more a lap faster, depending on the track) in what essentially was already a spec-type class.So if you are in the SE region and either want to run Hoosiers or Kuhmos, or want to run with a 14 or 15 inch wheel, then you run in ITA. Otherwise, you can run with IT7.
No great conspiracy here, but not everyone agreed with the reasons, so they were given the choice of class to run in.

Well, not so much a "back door deal" as a difference in opinion among the racers (imagine that ) IT7 is also available only in certain regions (it's essentially a subclass of ITA). The spec tire for IT7 is a Toyo RA1 (in 205/60r13 IIRC). This was proposed in the SE region in order to try and level the playing field a little more (Hoosiers are known to be a second or more a lap faster, depending on the track) in what essentially was already a spec-type class.

Maybe "Back Door Deal" was a bit harsh.
Most I have spoken to did not like it.
My question would be: Is a set of the Toyo tires cheaper than the Hoosiers?

Kouryou,
Well next year look me up, we could have use an extra hand. We ran the 69 car with just two drivers. Made for little time between stints to get things done. One of my best crew guys came from this board about two years ago. So come on out! That goes for everyone! Next race will be Mid Ohio or Nelson.

The Hoosiers are certainly the faster race tire.
