With more PT cars being tracked is it changing PT vendors product offerings?

[compos mentis]

Curious for opinions on if there is a trend or not where more and more PT parts vendors are changing their product offerings from formerly offering pro-touring components for street use only to now providing components that can hold up doing track duty also?

i would hope so..

I think there's been several companies that made parts to stand up to track days even before the popularity of these events that we see today. I'm lucky to get to work with many of these companies on a daily basis. I can tell you without a doubt that those companies that have always made great parts are making them even better, and all the others have upped their game substantially. The "street car" track events are definitely making a difference and creating change.

While I think they are conforming to new customer wants and needs I don't think that is the reason. You are more likely to damage suspension/chassis components on the street where there are potholes and other abrupt surface changes that impact components much harder than the track provided you stay on course. We already know that the drivetrain components are built stronger than factory so that is a non-factor IMHO.
