^ That red GT3 (civilian car) was at CMP a few weekends ago. It sounds as good as it looks!!

Also... do the cars now have digital number plates? That's pretty interesting... (edit... after looking again I'm guessing they use those to indicate the class number since it may change from race to race?)

Nice shots... glad you have fun!

The owner started talking to me while I was standing near the gate to the track in the paddock. He told me he has a gt3, and I asked him if his was the red one that I had seen pull up. His name is John and he is from nova. Said he used to have a red r8. Nice guy!

We determined the digital numbers indicate which position the car is in which we all thought was pretty sick. It gets hard to tell which car is in the lead once they all spread out.

Thanks!

Ahh, that would make sense. Especially with the different classes and such. Cool deal!

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to talk to him at CMP since I was racing on the kart track... but the car sounded sick!

Nice pics of the Bimmerworld cars. I actually know Tyler Cooke (driver) as I've raced karts with him. I want to say they won their class this race...

So much cums.






Nice waistline girl.


Sniping that Michelin fotog.


Dude on the left is my friend. He is the electrical engineer for team srt. Honda/acura enthusiast and had a j series integra and now has a nsx.


His team recruited my other friend's woman to be the flag girl and gave her $100 cash.






Nice hat Sir.

Maybe some team will run a pair of NSXs in the series one day. If we're lucky.

Hey, I saw you drive by! I was the black '05 TL w/ BMWCCA NCC magnets parked up by the corral tents. I stayed at the fleabags in S. Danville. Hung out Th-Su, got a hot lap in the M3s, and snuck into the Villas driveway to watch up at turn 10, best view and sound IMO. Patrick Dempsey loves talking racing, along with wishing old buddy Tommy Milner a good race, though I'm rooting for BMW RLL and Turner. Have gone to Balt. 3x but this was my first spectator at VIR. Great pics! Next year!

Nice! We will have to meet up next year. Those M3s were impressive and the tires made such a loud noise when the cars got sideways. I will have to try and sneak in and check out the view from the villas. So what did you think of the event overall? Thanks!

Was great, except that they didn't have rental scanners available, not a big enough spectator event to run a stand. Yeah I could buy my own, but that'd be like when I bought a CB and then talkabout after using them once. No villa usher Fri, Sat I was a guest. Next year will make up for no Baltimore.

Too bad the race teams decided not to visit Baltimore anymore.
