One thing that I'd personally like to see come back to IRI is the Mentor Match. And I'm not talking about the hokey lunch time tournament.
Up until 2007, teams used to play 1 qualifying match where mentors drove, and students coached. The match counted like any other qualifying match, and was a lot of fun to watch. There were some rules about eligibility to drive and many teams recruited mentors from other teams if they were shorthanded. Where it got messy was if the number of teams in attendance wasn't divisible by 6. Then you had some teams playing with mentors, and others playing with student drivers. It wasn’t perfect, but it sure was a lot of fun.
Who wouldn’t want to see Zondag, Freeman, or the Copioli’s at the sticks?

I as well would have to agree with Tyler. This game is pretty magnificent as is. The mentor matches would be an almost perfect touch to a perfect game.
