GBotM: Jan '16 Entries - PRO TOURING

[GP403]

Vaughn3031 suggested next month's theme be the "pro touring" G-Body. I'm sure there's a wide berth on what qualifies, or what we think that means, so lets see em!

Due to the holidays and whatnot I'll get this closed up soon around the 1st, provided there are enough entries.

The winner gets a pair of 18" GBodyForum decals, too.

Greetings Guys; One of the fellas from Mecum Auction service called my car a Pro Touring car. Does that make it pro touring? I've thought of The Bronze Brick as a amateur (hobby) touring all this time as few Pro's (guys making a living) have worked on it! Laugh now please. Anyway I've always tried to keep my sites on a Road Car (we use to call them 2 Lane Black Top cars) as I want to drive mine as much as possible. But since I really like drag rac'in, I'm maybe a little bias in that direction. Well I like Auto X TOo & plan to do more. As this passed summer I did two passes at Car Craft Nat's. If you ever get a chance make a pass or two it will humble you quickly. Then a few years back I made 5 laps on the Black Hawk Farms Road Course, the Ultimate back road & I want a GO back again. So what I'm say'in is my goal has been a balanced car that you can drive anywhere the roads are paved. Some of you guys may have noticed I haven't made a new for sale post! I'll post more on this subject over on my 9C1 thread, later. So please consider The Bronze Brick if It fits the category? Thanks Bob Jr.
