10: The shape of the ALMS to come (Part 1 or 7)

Although the ALMS is currently in it's longest break of the schedule and most of our focus has been fixed on the escapades in the F1 world, we are in critical times. Let us begin our first of a 7 part analysis of the shape of the ALMS to come...

A little bird says that "Grand-Am was going to buy the ALMS."

'Was' going to buy the ALMS or 'is' going to buy the ALMS? Clarify your rumors chump. Let's assume he meant is, and that he is correct. This is the best news ever! Why? Well, if saving money is the goal, joining up with Grand-Am is perfect. This way everyone will save money. "How is that oh wise Glider?" Hear me out, I have done a thesis on this topic... here is the abridged version:

A. Synergy of Techknowlogy. Everyone thinks that the ALMS is the most advanced and forward thinking series in NA, but let us not forget that Grand Am has a lot of novel techknowogy to share with the ALMS. Such synergy of technowlogy will be invaluable to both series. For example: Grand Am prototypes save tens upon tens of dollars (and a few pounds of weight), using cutting edge lightweight stickers on their cars. Their headlights are stickers, their grills are stickers, and so are their second drivers and 1/3 of the crowd. Watch closely next broadcast and you will see what I mean. Rumor is that they save even more money with engine stickers. The cars are truly powered by the drivers. Big savings for costly ALMS cars. Imagine how easy this would be to market as part of the Green Challenge!

B. Panoz. Joining GA will be the best thing that could happen to the rumored Panoz prototype. People have been heavily criticizing the rumored project as it supposedly centers around a chassis that has been around longer than most people's children. Guess what?... so have most of the GA chassis. Perfect fit!!!

C. Fans save money too!! How? Simple. Do you notice how many fans of GA show up to their races? All I can say is that that turns in to a lot of money saved by Joe Sports Car Fan.

Stay tuned for part 2... "How bake sales will save the ALMS financially"

You are welcome.
