    Good stuff Looks like a fun event! I need to make it back up to VIR sometime soon.

    I met a super nice Rossion owner while down at SoWo. My buddy got a ride in the car after the show one night and then the guy ended up coming over to our cabin for a beer Ended up giving rides to almost everyone in our cabin, except myself. I was way too drunk and had wandered away Amazing cars though.

    Love how they had all makes and models there. You would not believe the things I've seen the local Porsche club do..

    although the worked eclipse with the 4g63 motor is nothing to sneeze at when done right, that body was totally unnecessary. that was just about the worst body kit you couldve put on that car.

    Both look great, thanks for sharing the pics! I'd take pops' GT over almost anything else in the pics unless that's an original Shelby Coupe

    That Eclipse is a serious track car. He was there as a shakedown for the Grassroots Motorsports Ultimate Track Car Challenge which is also at VIR on July 20th.

    I'm not crazy about the way it looks either, but it's designed for aero so form follows function.

    the red vet, ttu 32

    the exhaust is to keep it quieter? or to shoot flames at the ground instead at the car behind you?

    Looks like laguna pipes. 90* clamp on turn-downs so the exhaust note is turned away from wherever the sound checking device is, usually at a set turn or straightaway on a particular side.

    I'm not really sure what other people call them.

    wow that looks like a proper day out!

    very cool to see track-prepped vehicles too, especially that GT40.

    the Rossion looks at home on the track
