Default Some pics from VIR today...

Had a blast. 28 degrees this morning...seems to be the usual.

Got up to 55 degrees later in the day. perfect weather. Car was handling like a dream. Sway bar was definitely noticeable. Car was not leaning nearly as much. Made the transition from traction to track out a very fine line with the R's, but was a blast.
The pics:


Ready to go!

First instructor's car. That's my old B5 S4. The one I traded in for the B6.

Default They are nothing much to look at inside either...

but they are SUPER fast on the track in capable hands. Sounds like a honda, but moves like a lambo.

Default Yea, it's pretty crazy the different makes/models of cars. Normally, it's like an audi event...

or an NSX event, or something like that. This is a Z club that has combined with another sports car club (Tarheels). They are both from NC. Anyway, the tarheel group makes up most of the exotic and interesting looking cars.

Have the fun is walking around the paddock and checking out the cars!

OH, and yes, you have to try this. Just like crack, you gotta hit that track.

Default Unbelievable how fast they are in turns with a good driver behind the wheel.

I wish I had the $$$ to be able to have something like that for a track toy.....

Default Oh yea. He was movin'! Unbelievable to see the Miatas (instructor's group) passing z06's.

The vettes have 3x the power, but the miatas STILL pass on the straight, cause they dominate the vette's in the corners.
