Default VIR Pics

Just finished a great weekend at VIR. Perfect weather! Had a lot of fun playing with (mostly chasing) my twin, Michael from Ohio (I am car 999). Also, congrats to rmag for his personal best in his RS.

Hey, do you have any more pics of this graphics scheme? Kinda looks like a cross of the new GT3 RS and the GT2 RS scheme, NO? Who did it for you?

Thanks, Mike

Awesome shots. Looks like there were some very nice vehicles out there, that red and black 3 in the back round of the first shot looks very nice as well.

You guys are having fun! I am trying to get to VIR in October with Chin, but I am on the waiting list.

Looks like I am going to have to check out the Nov event. I think Michael said he was going to that too. TRAKCAR--If you can't get into the Chin event, go Nov.

I am so impressed with VIR. It is amazing how it went from its glory days to this before the renovation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4kwF5mg1Vg, and back to where it is now.

I removed all the decals when I had the whole car wrapped. Rather than putting everything back on, I left off the fender ones and got the hybrid side decals from http://www.porschestripes.com/.

There were a lot of nice cars. The red/black one you are referring to is one of three Synergy cars run by three friends support by the Synergy crew. I'm not sure whether the one in the picture is a 3. One of the owners told me the "Synergy cars" are brand new base Carreras stripped out with stock engine but full custom suspension, exhaust, etc. At least one of them has carbon body panels to further reduce weight. Yes, there were fast.

THAT IS ONE COOL *** VIDEO!!!!!! Amazing to think what has changed in 12 years, plus their addition of NJMP to the portfolio

Hmmmm, I wonder which track will be next to go into hibernation?

BTW, great job on the graphics! I like your idea!

Now.... about heading to VIR with NNJR PCA on November 5-7! Registration opens this coming Friday. Make sure you register early and often! This way I can check out those graphics up close as you blow by me on the track, LOL!!!

See you in 3 months at VIR!
