I am amazed (and very happy) that the C6R program is still going forward. This is going to be a major test of money, resources and the will to be competitive. This year will be a test for next year when they go for a single GT class championship and I wish them all the best.

In the Teleconference this morning the CEO of GM said that the Corvette Racing program produces a very significant return on investment.

So I don't think it's going away anytime soon.

I heard the same thing from Tom Wallace last year at Road America. I'm glad that Fritz feels that way!

It's kind of ironic, they are the only website on the automotive net that doesn't have anything posted about it.
