Coverage from GT Live/ Grand American race VIR Oct.6-8
Went to VIR this past weekend and had a blast watching a lot of Acura's run around the track. I didn't stay to see the results of the race but i'm sure it'll be posted on the web this week.
I took a few pictures...check them out!

Did you go down there with a group?
I've seen your car around town a couple times, maybe you missed mine, the plain as day CGP
Although I may have the only manual around town.
Great pics!!

Didn't i-moto come in 3rd overall at the millermotorsports race about a month ago?

Do you happen to know what company manufactures that gold wrap or where I can find some?

it never ends with you, ACCURATEin! keep pushing the modding envelope because your ride looks as if it belongs next to spoon lineup. no rl ... it hasn't had an impressive showing thus far.

The RL is being prepped for the 25 Hours of Thunderhill endurance race coming up in December. And you're right, something happened to the motor during one of the previous events.

I was looken through my pics from the weekend and I only have two after we had put the gold wrap on. It was pretty late at night and both pictures look crappy. Anyway I'll put the best one up. I'll see if I can find out the name of the wrap.

I check modified mag website and found some pictures from the event...the photographers took a lot of pictures so check them out on their website for more.
Heres a few...
This car made its debut at the event..was built from the ground up and there is nothing really G35 about the car. Carbon fiber everywhere, moton suspension, adjustable sway bar from the cockpit, warning lights on the steering wheel, liquid buttom for the driver, engine from M45(4.5liter V8) I spoke with the driver for a few minutes, i forget his name.
