Is there a limit as to how many cheap shots we can take at you in 1 day?

Dave, glad to hear your planning on making it. If I remember some of the guys wanted to rent your car as a "back up" last year. Atlanta Region as well as a lot of the West Coast Clubs use Motorsportsreg so I think we will do fine. Tell the OVR board thanks!
Hi everyone. The listing for the I.T.SPEC*tacular has been turned on at http://www.motorsportsreg.com it can be found under Event Types " Club race"
In other news. Hoosier Tire Midwest has announced the following program for the I.T.SPEC*tacular.
I.T./SPEC*Tacular Hoosier Tire Giveaway For each day of the 2009 IT/SPEC*tacular, Hoosier Tire Midwest will be holding a drawing for a free Hoosier Racing Tire. The drawing will be from all entrants. You will receive one entry for each tire purchased from Hoosier Tire Midwest during the IT/SPEC*tacular.

Drawings will be held on Saturday during the Worker/Driver/Sponsor Party, and on Sunday at 1:00 at the Hoosier Tire Midwest Trailer. 3.

Winners will receive One Free Tire Certificate redeemable with Hoosier Tire Midwest.
I've e-mailed Terry with Hoosier for answers. I'm going to assume yes to Denny's question since you'll probably pick them up at Mid-Ohio during the event. Rick....I'm not sure that's going to fly but I'll let Terry decide.
Registration is now OPEN for the I.T.SPEC*tacular & PDX July 31-Aug 2nd. Go to http://www.motorsportsreg.com to enter. Event Type " Club Race". Look for Cincinnati SCCA. If you are planning on renting a garage do not wait. They are going fast.
