Wait, it's Grand-Am's fault? Grand-Am is "destroying American sports car racing?"
I didn't know it was Grand-Am that forced Don Panoz to make an organization 3000 miles across the pond high lord and master of IMSA.
I didn't know it was Grand-Am that put a gun to Audi's head, preventing them from building and selling R8s to privateer teams.
I didn't think Grand-Am had the power to ensure that nobody ever built a proper LMP900/P1 for the privateer.
I never fathomed that it could be Grand-Am's fault that the ALMS spent years trying to chase big factory bucks while completely ignoring the plight of its privateer teams who were droning around as Audi lap traffic.
IMSA/ALMS is doing a spectacular job of deconstructing itself without any help whatsoever from Grand-Am. All GARRA's doing is picking up the pieces.
