Default OT: VIR eye candy (Feb 22 NASA Enduro)

My buddy Drew and I went up to VIR yesterday to deliver some side skirts to Marc and to catch a bit of the enduro. Took a few pics, not many. In no particular order:

M-B 190E with big shoes. There was another 190E 2.3-16 "Kompressor" there, but he never popped the hood. Don and some R-Speed cars in the background of this one.




Willard's "Pimp of the Week" nominee #1, VW Beetle on coilovers, disc brakes, etc. Skinniest tires I've ever seen on a track car.




Factory Five cars were as thick as fleas. This is probably the best-looking Cobra I've ever seen. Pictures do not do this car justice. Paint was amazing.




Got Daytona?




Got another one?




Coolest tow rig ever. 1951 American LaFrance fire truck converted a dozen or so years ago to haul two cars. Tows a third car behind on a trailer. Spoke to the owner - he said it's bulletproof. They take it all over the East Coast, and took it to Cali and back not long ago.






Willard's "Pimp of the Week" nominee #2. This guy's got stones.




And finally, an on-topic shot. HT's own Track Rat during the pit stop/driver change at the enduro.



Good times, great weather. Nice to see some familiar faces, and to meet some new ones. Sorry to all the R-Speed members for all the bad luck - hope everything gets straightened out. I keep waiting for a phone call from Bef saying that B0XY has blown up - hopefully nothing was contagious (I parked it next to Marc's sled).

No idea, but they're huge. Wish the pic had shown the tires better. Serious meats.

That's H-T's Willard standing to the left in #81's pit....wondering why I skull-smacked him with my driver's side mirror!

Thanks for all of your help Will!

Willard was all business in the pit!

Will =

We ended up first in E1, 5th overall behind two GT3 Porsches, a Factory 5 Cobra and a Cobra Mustang. Had a blast!

Hey you guys, look for my co-driver, Scott Fredricksen in Speed World Challenge touring this year. He'll be driving one of two Tindol Motorsports Mazda Protoges for the full season. The cars are bright green/white with "Sparco" sponsorship.
