Smile Roland's (RufRacer) Ruf Turbo R pictures

Roland (the mysterious) asked me to post these pictures for him. I assume he'll pitch in some info. I'll just say, his is a 2000 Ruf VIN Turbo R that gets actively raced in the Nevada Open Road Races. It is certified as the world's fastest factory stock Ruf Turbo R (certificate awarded by Alois Ruf). I "think" it was clocked at 211 mph. Yeehaw. Thes pictures are from Garden Grove Main Street.

I have seen his car in person a couple of times. Full, integrated Ruf cage, fuel cell and onboard fire system, aside from the usual Ruf tidbits. Nice.

He emailed and said "Enjoy":

Somebody needs to post the "high 5" picture as well..

I can say that navigating during an Open Road Race in that car is a nice experience! And Roland is a great guy!

Wow, amazing

Doing 193 in mine was extremely scary, 211 is another dimension
