    Yes, I think some sort of a class-ing system will have to be developed, if it's going to get much traction. You don't want to burn up the 360GT chasing cars that out-class it. Otherwise, you're just beating up on it to finish down in the order.

    Nevertheless, I like the concept. On this side of the pond, we wouldn't have enough to put a grid together, I don't think at LoM, HSR, VSR or whatever. Even CCR is primarily Challenge cars, and I wouldn't want to wear out the GT dicing with hotted-up Challenge cars (although, I understood that that was to be phased out and the cars were supposed to migrate back to stock challenge cars over time).

    Maybe if CCR had a class for GTs...

    Well put....

    As far as CCR, I think it is a good Series, but they really have to "work" on their racing calendar. Besides that... good series with Exceptional people driving in it.

    Yes I also think a new Gentlemen Series would be welcomed. NARRA is ok (Home) but just simply GT oriented... (to my opinion)

    348?

    I'm more then happy to run my 355 or 348 with 430s

    Hitting 458 I would just feel in the way

    The part about "gentlemen" is interesting. Does a 'gentleman' let you go first through a corner? I want to race with those guys!

    A. McLane-I agree that CCR is a great series that goes to great tracks. I have never raced with a better group of guys. I was curious about your comment regarding the calendar. What is it about the calendar that is in need of "work"?
