I really hope that some day I can inspire all the "factions" that are developing in the GT community to come together under the same "banner" and advance this class for what it is - a FUN, and very cost effective way to compete without introducing all the costs associated with the classes from which some of our drivers have come. These are SUCH cool cars, and I KNOW that if everyone were to meet under different circumstances, we'd all have a great time throwing back a beer and bench racing until the wee hours of the morning. The common denominator is the GT class, and we all gravitated to it for many of the same reasons. If we could all find it within ourselves to withhold a negative comment here and there and stay focused on what this should be about, which is to have a hell of a lot of fun with a bunch of people that share a common interest, it will start looking like a hobby that we're supposed enjoy. Let's leave the infighting to the classes where they forgot LONG AGO that it's supposed to be fun. ;o)
Gashuffer - that's one of the best looking GT bodies I've ever seen. I never thought blue and green could go together that well. That's a talented painter.

Yes, I've been making some progress on the rules. I apologize that they haven't been released yet. I'm trying to tackle many issues that I think are very important, this being one of them, but it's tough to balance it all at once. Just to put one issue to rest, there's no validity to the rumor that ROAR will not allow the wider rear tires. I think the wide tires are a positive development for the class in providing enough traction for the rear of the cars, which have always had a degree of over-steer and rear tire degradation, that they're finally a little easier to dial in.

Like I stated, I've got this project under control. This was a conversation between myself and jrz93, bouncing ideas off each other since he was doing the same thing. We have not really gotten along for quite some time so I don't understand why all of a sudden, you want to try to give me helpful advice/information.

Steve, we're glad to hear from you even if it isn't what we want to hear yet. I hope you can have us something soon, even if it needs to be fine tuned as time goes on. Thanks for listening and hope to hear that the rules are in place soon.
