- Well, it may not matter *who* pulls out, even if it's only "temporary."
- With Nissan and Mazda gone, and if Jaguar goes away too...there may be
- no IMSA GTP series any more. I heard the other day that IMSA was getting
- together to discuss the future of the series. If this goes away...and I'm
- beginning to fear that it will...what does that mean for the rest of the
- IMSA classifications? Camel GT was the big publicity and revenue (I am
- assuming) generating event. Without it...the whole organization could be
- on it's way out. This is all very depressing.
