I think this is going to be the last event of the season but I'm being leaned on to do Daytona in early December. Hmmmmmm.
Anyway. Plenty of awesome cars as always including some good Nissan representation for a change. I had a student in a red 2003 350Z, there was a gentleman in the advanced group with a very clean 240sx. Plus a stock GTR.
I also had a student in a sweet caged 1987 Audi Coupe GT. Off to the pics! The couple action shots are courtesy of another Audi member
nice old BMW 2002tii. Pretty quick car but it smoked when the owner tromped on it.
the GT-R
The 240SX . owner was really nice.
Ariel Atom spec racer. VIR has deal with Ariel and hosts a series of spec races.
One of several R8's. This one was parked beside me in the paddock.
plenty of mustangs in attendance, both modded and stock:
fairly new Mitsu belongs to a friend. He usually brings a Maserati grandsport but it got totalled. He also owns a car carrier similar to mine.
his car carrier:
one of many Exige S''s.
Gorgeous "retired" Ferrari 430 cup challenge racer. the owner switched away from carbon-ceramic brakes and went to more traditional ones.
The Ferrari at speed coming onto the main straight
our chief instructors Baby Grand. think half sized nascar looking car with a motorcycle engine. Yamaha power. Very quick.
little BMW M, what was interesting was that the entire front end (and trunk) were switched to carbon fiber.
interesting high end kit car, with a "corvette" motor stuffed in it. Fiberglass body. Owner was coy about its power, but it was extremely fast, and broke a half shaft.

My student's 1987 Audi Coupe GT. nicely set up
nice mid 90's S6, last of the great Audi sedans. This one had a nice roll bar.
Yep a brand new Boss 302 Laguna Seca. Owner told me it had 2000 miles on it. Sweet car. A Ford I wouldn't mind owning...
potent trio of white porsche's: A twin turbo 996, a GT-3 and a GT-2.
.
My friend's 996 twin turbo. That's my Z in the background. I was surprised, he normally brings a 944 turbo, but it was being fixed.
We were in the same run group, he didn't have too much trouble reeling me in....
obligatory short of the ol' Bubbarian Z...
If anyone is interested, the next Audi VIR event is in April. I'm ready now.
I still havent been..
