They aren't really a true prototype since the cars aren't really being used for development purposes.

I think that good racing takes on several different forms. I'll even go so far as to say that there's some really good racing that occurs in NASCAR. I think that the racing has to be taken in context, though.
What the series has done in my eyes is turned 2 of Americas most prestigious events: Daytona 24 and Watkins Glen 6, into just another event. But if you look at the period between 2000-2003, the Daytona 24 race had as much fanfare world over as Sebring and Le Mans. I think that those two races should go to ALMS (for the sake of those two) or an overhaul is done to the Grand Am series. I realize that taking those two away for Grand Am leaves nothing but they did this to themselves.
