Let’s just call this thread for what it really is -
We have a competitor that is trying to get more market share by excluding our products under the banner of "spec tires make it more fair," followed by a self-serving pitch to use their tires as the spec tire.
Why is it that the only product in this category in which racers won't have a choice at your race, is tires?
It's because our competitors are trying very hard to make it that way, and it's because many GT racers feel Ipanema has a superior GT racing product.
The only way they can "compete" is by not allowing Ipanema to attend.

Clete and the NW didn't start anything in GT racing. Period!
On page #1 on this thread its understood that the class was started in North America by the guys in the Midwest Series, the oldest R/C racing series on earth.
To be exact, GT racing was started by Bernie Hoogstra (BubbaCola) and the guys at Leisure Hours in Joliet Il.
After that the GT racing concept was picked up on by myself, Steve Pond & Joel Johnson. Together, the four of us worked together to start GT racing on an American national level.
From there it went International and its been growing great.
As far as these guys that want to spec our products out of their events....
They didn't even know how to spell "GT" before we made our class.
Have fun, we welcome our competitors to try and best us in any open tire GT race. Any time, any place!!
PS. paulie, got a new screen name huh?

Don't include my name. LOL. I'm just a casual observer and I don't make any claims about starting the class or anything like that. I'm just happy to see the class growing, and although it could do without some of the drama, it's good to see more people running GT cars. I think as long as the class doesn't get too "pro," it's got a chance.

Sorry Steve, I guess I should have listened and made a spec tire rule from day one. I guess thats the way that company wants to play.
Pretty sleazy on their behalf, since we welcomed them to be part of our events to help grow the class too.
Anyway, doesn't matter much, this is really a regional thread and has nothing to do with our American National or International GT racing community.
Have fun!

You also claim that you started GT racing ????
You are a complete wack job!!!!
