Two sets... not surprising. Rule book probably says - Porsche rules... Everyone else.

Greg, maybe you can enlighten us.

Not quite that bad. They need Porsche in this series so they aren't going to handicap them so they never win. I didn't count but I am sure that well over half of the 42 GT cars were Porsches.

Here are the rules for GT. Basically two levels of prep based on whether you go with a Unibody car or a Semi tube frame.

You sure are right about that! It wasnt hard to tell when one of them was going by.

Especially the orange RX8. Had to cover my ears each time it came around.

BTW, any you boys take pictures of the Porsche corral?
Figures I brought too much clothes but forgot my camera.
