Is GT racing always going to be the poor cousin of open wheel and profile cars?
If sports car racing was promoted properly, could it be popular again like it was in the days of the Can-Am series? Now that there is so much argy-bargy surrounding F1 isn't it a good chance for GT racing to come back to the forefront again?
That would be great, I think you're right, there is always a decent crowd for the SCCA June Sprints at Road America. Sports car racing is very competitive and the cars are easy to relate to. If they could come up with a TV package it would bring in some fans, who don't even know this type of racing exists. As far as the Can-Am series, some of my first racing memories were of the ground pounding thunder created by the UOP Shadows . Those are my favorite cars of all time.
