    GRT Race Cars Gone ?

    Did GRT shut down ? I drove by there Sunday afternoon on the way somewhere else, and the building looked empty and there's a big property for sale sign out front.

        They have posted on fb quite a bit lately, mainly customers picking up mod chassis.

          grt is still around but they do a ton of mods now, I've heard they are running good too, I'm sure he would go back to lates but they would have to run a house car deal to keep up and joe is getting a little older these days
          they will still build you one and let me say this, they were way ahead of everyone with the stiffer chassis but they never caught on because everyone gave up on them quick and shocks weren't what they are today, I'm going to say they would still be able to compete with there 02-06 cars with maybe a little bit of updates on the front end but it wouldn't take much

                Michael Page won a ton of races in those year model GRT S He has the Midas touch on them even the ones he worked on were super competitive and won races. This was against Capitals Rockets Barry Wright's and Warriors that were new cars. I agree there is something there just gotta know what to do.

                  Fitzgerald wore everybody out in his goat from 08-10!

                  But he could always make them fast!

                        They just posted on their Facebook with customers picking up two brand new cars so things must be going well!

                          You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one around here. I'll bet 20 percent of the field is in one but I'm also close by too. If one really wonders, a phone call to the shop stops a lot of rumors.

                              It was a Sunday afternoon when I drove by there, so maybe I just hit a odd time / day. Used to see a lot of cars and chassis sitting around outside there, didn't see anything but that may not mean anything. The "for sale" sign is what was most odd.
