First time to VIR what an awesome track.
So glad I finally made the trip.

Had a blast hanging out with the South Carolina crew. Those guys are true Southern Gentlemen and great racers to boot. They are even better at telling stories, had me laughing my a$$ off all weekend.
Congrats to Mike McMenamin for the overall win in the Red Sprint. Jimmy Martin had a tough weekend, but I suspect he's figuring out right now, what he needs to do to beat Ryan in that wicked 997. It was great meeting Robbie Strickland, good to finally put a face to a name.
Thanks to the Roaches for helping me out with my first time at VIR.

Good to see all of the Dorki guys I met at Summit last year. Intersport had a hell of a paddock area.
Bummed Jim Evans could not make it, I was looking forward to racing with him.

I was right across from Karl Poetl in the paddock, been racing with Karl a long time and its always great to see him at the track. We have a good arrangement, I pimp him for info about shocks,brake pads, oil, ect. In return I yell at him when we have 15 min to the next session and he still has his car on jack stands and is stuck talking to someone.

Here is a video from qualifying.
That's Karl in the 968.

Matt- it was really fun running with you this past weekend. I enjoyed watching your footage of Race1. Will we see you at the Summit Point Race?

Here's my Black Sprint2.

There were a couple of GT5 cars that were "taking their time" getting around VIR.

I wasn't even close to losing it under braking. That's cool though.

Once I recognized where I was going to catch him I shut it down.

If you think that was bad, I got some enduro video for ya.

That was the first hot lap in qualifying.

Or the 997 rsr that hit the wall in oak tree on the out lap of pratice

Here is a "fun" moment in the enduro.
I guess this is what trying to be patient gets you.

I don't have any idea why some people think the cup car guys are a little nuts

Veloce Raptor

Wow, talk about a low probability move for no valid reason

good hands

I guess I should be thankful he waited until South Bend to pass me.

BTW I think that was Lawson Asenbach in the Cup car.

Patrick, I have never been to Summit before, but then I had never been to VIR before either. It's likely I will be there. Next race is the ARCA support race at NJMP.

Great racing with you. If only I had another couple of horsepower!

An enduro snippet. Making a move on Lawson Aschenbach . . .

It got so hot my camera fogged. That's how fast I am.

Hope this works

First red sprint race, my 3.0L needs more HP to get by the water pampers

Veloce Raptor

LOL water "pampers"

Nice driving, Randy...

Not sure you want my gearbox, I'll take a modern box over a 915 any day.....this one is coming out for a Hewland soon

My gearing, yes. We have put a lot of time looking over gear charts getting it just right. The box has five active speeds. The 3.0L that is in it doesn't waken up the cams til north of 6,000 rpm

Izzone

A bit more torque too, I kept screwing up in the corners....the antique needs time to awaken
