To all racers,
It's time to make your intentions known and sign on the bottom line.
We have to have a proposal and "intent to run" sign-up sheet before the ICSCC board before Nov 1.
I will submit the proposal, rules and sign-up sheets to the E-board.
After speaking with the Conference president it was made known that if we request an AI run group, but then don't fulfill the required 2.5 cars average over the length of the first season, no year end points will be awarded. If we fail to garner 2.5 cars again the next year the class will be dropped and we will have a very difficult time getting Conference to consider this class again.
See
http://icscc.com/rules/Comp_Regs_2008_complete.pdf for the full rules (sec 1301.A).
A successful outing the first year will net us a sanctioned class.
In conversation with Conference they are willing to let an email (to me) suffice as a signed "intent to run".
We need at least 5 "intent to run" sheets before a run group solicitation can be made.
Please note that you MUST have a current SCCA, NASA, CACC or ICSCC sanctioned club license for 2008 to complete an "intent to run".
So let's try and make it successful by making sure you intend to run next year. Please do not sign up if you don't intend to run or are in a situation where that looks doubtful. I'd rather wait one more year and get enough people that will run than have this effort fail.
The "intend to run" email to me should state the following (and be to me by no later than Oct 31):
****************************************************
"I wish to run a NASA AI spec car in ICSCC in 2009 if that class can be made available.
I understand that the car must meet all NASA GCRs, all NASA AI rules, as well as all applicable ICSCC rules.
I also understand that the class must average 2.5 cars per race over the season to be sanctioned for the next year."
Signed
[your full name]
[your license affiliation or license number]
[Your current class and club afilliation]
[If you intend to continue racing in your current class and AI or just AI]
[Your car make/model/year]
*******************************************************
Again, please have this email to me as soon as possible.
I'll let you know how we stand prior to the deadline date.
