A Parting Shot from a Nice Day at the Track


As you look over my MINI you can see the green grass of the the grounds at VIR. Every time I think of VIR I think of a country club setting. This place is just awesome. Look over the bridge and you can see the new brick condos. (click the picture to enlarge it) That's a place for the ultimate in race track living.

Until next time, I'll see you down the road.

98 Octane Baby...


As I walked by the fueling station I noticed the yellow octane sticker on the pumps. That is some strong medicine! I used to run 103 in my 1974 MG midget. This liquid is sort of like rocket fuel!

Just a Random Photo


As the title of this post says this is just a random photo I caught with my pocket camera as I was walking the paddock area. There were some nice cars here and it is always fun to walk through the garage area to see how racers move their equipment and work on cars at the track. Now if I could play some audio for this picture it would be the sweet song of a Porsche at full throttle.

A Couple of R32 GTIs...


I am just back from VIR http://www.virclub.com/ and I thought I would share a few sights from the trip. This weekend VIR held the three day Koni Challenge. http://www.konichallenge.com/


I really like these cars. This is some serious horsepower in a small package. I stuck my head inside one of them all all you could smell was leather. Very nice.
