    This got interesting.

    For one, I am not from GA, just to get that out there lol.

    I don't know anyone who got their FIA license from a few SCCA races and now get paid if that's what was meant.

    I think pro racing is any form of motorsport with corportate sponsors and big wallets. I think Koni Challenge is a mix, and at the tip. ALMS, Grand Am, NASCAR, etc. That to me is pro motorsport, I consider SPEED WC to be semi pro, in the huge picture I would call it pro, but if we are going to be all technical and all...

    Ken Block is a joke, the people who made the videos should get the attention, the driving is just as good as any mad tyght dorifto or amateur rally driver.

    I consider BTCC, WTCC, V8, DTM, etc to be pro, half of the drivers are paid to be racing, many are well known over there, and because of that it's a professional series. If there are a lot of paid drivers, it's not amateur racing anymore.

    I think that covered most of what I missed.

    holy crap, this IS getting interesting, we just agreed on something.

    but, if you think pro motorsports is anything with corp sponsors and big wallets although you see the same thing in SCCA club racing.
