Yes and No. great Name and history.

In North America there are so many different GT type races, series and cars.

Which is OK as there are many racers.

Many of the older trans Am / GT cars are now racing in central America.

For 2009 I tentative have 18 weekends or 36 races, between Feb and Dec 2009. and that is with just NASA between the Mid Atlantic and South east.
Unless I want to add in Mid-Ohio and the out side chance of Sebring, Watkins Glen and Road America.

In the SE US there are quite a few SCCA GT1, SPO, SPU, B-Production, AGT and old Stock Car high HP racers already.

Dia hard racers and Trans-Am GT1 and AGT teams may love it. Too attract new intestate their may have to be start moneies, prize money or other insentives.
