Spectating at VIR, 2013
My son and I made our annual trek to the Double SARRC / Double MARRS club race Saturday morning. As in years past, it was a great event, featuring many classes of racing around Virginia International Raceway (VIR)’s full course.
Qualifying session underway as we arrived:
The last quali session of the morning all ready to go on the False Grid:
I have no idea what these were:
Beautiful Datsun 510 in BRE colors:
More interested in the trees than the cars… So it goes.
After the qualifying sessions of the morning, the first actual race of the day lined up:
Rolling start with the pace car out front…
Recovering from an “off:”
Coming down the Rollercoaster:
In the pits:
Parade laps over lunch. Coming down the front straight…
…and about to go up the Climbing Esses.
Rossion Q1 (re-bodied Noble M400) for sale parked next to our car:
The Rossion looks like what would happen if a Porsche Boxster and Lotus Exige got together and had a baby…
Great pics! Love the Datsun #44. Very cool.
Thanks John! It was a good time. I took lots of Z and Datsun pics to show the local Z club guys at the next meet.
The Rossion was cool-looking, but still had that track/kit car vibe… Rear-mount radiator/IC and associated fans were visible through an opening between the taillights; pretty neat.
