Krohn Racing quitting GrandAm?
02/10/10 This rumor is upgraded to 'fact' today. Talked to a supplier to Krohn and they are out of Grand-Am and have an SLR Mercedes to run in ALMS GT2.
02/10/10 A reader writes, Dear Ar1.com, I was reading your rumors page and the rumor about Krohn leaving GrandAm and going to ALMS. I have friends who live in England that are telling me this is true and they will be using the new McLaren road car as the base for a new ALMS GT2 effort. Jeff Hazel has a history with McLaren sports cars and has spent most of the winter mouths over there making the deal happen. Robert Smithson
02/09/10 Check out the Grand-Am entry list. the Gainsco car is entered as of Feb 9 at 2:35P when we looked a day or two ago they WEREN'T on it. so maybe there isn't much to that part of the rumor.
02/09/10 Our undercover people on the street have informed us that Krohn Racing is quitting the GrandAm series. This is interesting because they have quite a big investment in their unique chassis and driver team…etc. One has to wonder where they are going…ALMS perhaps? GT2 Ferrari or the new LMP class? We will keep you posted.
The same source says that the Rolex was GAINSCO’s last race. Miami hotel reservations have been cancelled. Again, seems surprising, but…..
