Conti is a great series, especially the ST cars. Too much manufacturer involvement at the GS level now with Ford and Chevy so that field is shrinking.

I can say this because there IS a spoiler alert!

Ah, but the Nissans and the Aston were SO good at VIR this past weekend! Even the BMW got into the mix (GO, Ashley!) before fuel mileage on each of the three took them out.

The 911, hobbled as it is, was guided to a superb victory over the GM and Ford products by the wily Joe Varde and the Plumb brothers. It was awesome to listen to the radio transmissions at the end between all the teams. NAIL BITER!

The aston was amazing to watch slither around. The nissans are always competitive (i hate them as street cars) and rum bum was amazing as always. always in the hunt for a checker.
