The registration forms have been flowing into Global Proxy Race Control located in Toronto, Canada. Entrants' cars are enroute to scrutineering at the East New York Raceway in Woodbridge, Connecticut in Eastern USA from race teams on 4 continents.The prototype battle is shaping up to be a pitched inter-squad rivalry between manufacturers Porsche and Ferrari. Both camps have 6 cars each in the premier category of the GPR. This pitched rivalry may very well be the distraction needed to allow a single car entry from any one of the talented garagistes to slip through to ultimate victory in the Prototype class. To date single-car prototype entries include the marques of Chaparral, Chevron, and Lola.
The competition for GT dominance will be fierce. Porsches, Corvettes, and Capris are the weapons of choice. With entries from Ferrari, Jaguar, Shelby, BMW and Toyota also vying for top honours in this class. Only once the Ortmann dust settles this time next year in Toronto will we know who the inaugural GPR champion is.

Your countdown clock is confusing me...do the cars need to be there next Thursday or next Friday?
Either way...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Hurry! Late garagistes will not be excluded, although the Scrutineering staff may become gruff, confused, and prone to dropping things!
Robert, you're not helping. When do the cars need to be there?
The cars have no real need to be anywhere. I need them to be here by the 24th of November. Failing that, the 25th. Failing that, extensions will be granted to the 26th. With proper excuses and hand wringing, the 27th. With appropriate histrionics and loud, visceral noises, the 28th. Postponement to the 29th will require an odd gait, such as skipping in waltz time, and the wearing of underclothes outside of the overclothes. Pushing the deadline to the 30th requires matriculation at a nearby university, in a graduate level program. If Dec. 1st, you must quit your job, take a sabbatical from all friends, significant others, amd family, and seal yourself into your workshop, even if it is your bathroom.
holy crap...that's funny!
ROTFLMAO!!!
Aiming for the 24th I can do, even if I have to put another coat of paint on the car in the bathroom.
Of course sending my car seperately of Paul's probably more than doubles my chances of it getting there on time...
