You can complain about the rules all you want, but personally I find it to be some of the most interesting road racing going on in America at this time. I think it's wonderful that these are production car based vehicles that have been modified into racecars. Hell, the black Cayman BGB runs was Jon Teece's personal daily driver street car before they put it into service. If you've never watched one of the races, watch a broadcast or go out to the track and watch one live before you call the Continental Tire racing shyte.

This is NOT GT Rolex racing. These are cars that you and I can buy and modify ourselves. There's still a lot of rules constraints and battles for parity, which John Teece has taken on with great success. He got all kinds of concessions from Grand Am last year and he's currently working on new things to make the cars closer to on parity with the Camaros, BMWs and Mustangs that totally overpower the little Cayman. The catch with the rules in this class is they require you to run something that's in production in the actual vehicle you race. It's totally opposite of the tube frame chassis rules they run in GT class. In GS class, the reason they haven't given BGB 3.8l engines is there's no such thing in the real world. They are allowing them to run DFI engine vehicles this year, and the black '09 car they just finished building and tested at Homestead 2 weeks ago have that engine, which ups their power by something like 20hp over the two cars pictured above and in this story.

I am very excited to see how they can do in this coming year. They've retired all the 997 C2's and are focusing 100% on the Caymans. Guy Cosmo is coming back to drive for them again and I think they have a very good chance of seeing the kind of success they have 4 years ago when they were running 996 C2's in this series.
