Thanks for this post.
You Got It!
Yes, it is Ironic. Drag week could easily be a template for a PT adventure.
I am so surprised at the resistance to taking something you build and trying it out? I've tried to keep the "Proving grounds" limited to legal venues, and somehow that means Competitive Racing?
This is a nice topic for conversation, it's also too bad that when the name, "Pro Touring", was created, it wasn't closer to the already established name "Grand Touring" as they are essentially the same thing.
A grand tourer (Italian: gran turismo) (GT) is a performance or luxury automobile capable of high speed or spirited long-distance driving. The most common format is a two-door coupé with either a two-seat or a 2+2 arrangement.
The term derives from the Italian phrase gran turismo, a tribute to the tradition of the grand tour, used to represent automobiles regarded as grand tourers, able to make long-distance, high-speed journeys in both comfort and style. The English translation is grand touring.
Am I wrong on this? (Please respond to this, I would really like to know.
Take care, and thanks again.
