Some pics from NASA Heat Wave @ VIR last weekend
Had a good weekend at VIR. Was a bit worn out with two studends and 100+ degree temps all weekend, but managed to win my TimeTrial class both days and score two more free Hoosiers
EDIT: My dad took a bunch of pics too...

Some UTCC videos worth sharing...
GRM UTCC 2011 Top 6 car fly by on front straight. Riley DP, Ganassi Challenger, Juno SS3-V6, Element Tuning STi, Popp Z06, MTi Z06
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDwiZxQAn28 Another front straight video. Cool to listen to the different cars and to see who's holding on the gas the longest into turn 1.

I can since I'm an instructor, but I tend to leave the passenger seat at home so I don't have to give everyone's friend a ride I enjoy giving rides but there are times I'm just too busy or I have fresh Hoosiers on the car and don't want to waste a heat cycle.

Do it. I think you if you really want to try it you should. I think the Cabrio is nice, but I always preferred a car that I could have fun with over looking good. Check out the next Driftwater, there is a guy that grips the track using a MKI GTI. It actually looks good going around and sounds pretty good too.

After you gain some experience and know how to evaluate a car's handling then build a project car... you'll be able to do it right and know what you're after.
If you're ever at a NASA event I'm at I'd be more than happy to give you a ride along.
