Looked like it was a fun weekend. I hope to be getting to the track more often soon.

Man if there is one track i wish i could go to it would be ViR. :(

Now you know about the BY group doing the possible GTG. Road trip.

Looks like fun!!!

It did look like a bunch of fun. I love VIR. I watched the VIR 500 way back when and I got to ride around the track with my brother a couple laps. The oak tree turn is badass.

It's a shitty year because I'm in the process of moving and all that, but I pray to god that I can roll at VIR at least once.

Great pics man. Was it full course?

Re: E30 beater at VIR

Out of curiousity, how did your E30 compare to all those Type Rs, i've had 5 civics, all heavily modded, all of them were swapped, 2 were 5 lugged with type r brakes/suspension and were on rails...so relative to the ITRs do the E30s hold their own or do they lag behind? I feel that that E30's suspension is so outdated, and is really horrible, when compared to a basic econo box like a honda.

Just my opinion though.

So that was your car at VIR this past weekend. I was there all weekend flagging with Madison Motorsports. I spent alot of time talking to the spec e30 guys and taking pictures of cars. I definitly have quite a few of the e30s that were there.
I hope to be out there in a few months :D

No.

Let's see the rear suspension setup from the e30 was still used by the z3 and z3 M. As for the front i don't beleive they have changed much, i know the e36 is very similar. Add the near 50/50 weight distribution and the preferable RWD layout and you notice how these cars are still VERY respectable.

GetFast, were you there for the enduro on Sunday? Sorry I didn't see you out there.

If anyone was interested, I have some more pics listed in the Track/Autox section of the site.

In regards to ^, the e30s were certainly holding their own. If they were shitboxes, there wouldn't be so many instructors driving them.

Where you passing that Integra Type R... or where you about to get passed? :D

Looks like fun!!!

LOL some of both, probably... I would do about 2 flying laps then 2 easy laps then 2 flying laps... gotta conserve the car ;)
