Okay I eduted the topic a bit and pinned it so we (by we I mean me) always have quick access.

Nice seeing Audi and Porsche mix it up in GT3 as they're all but gone from stateside.

Warms my heart to see that GT350 win the Group S Classic Sports Car race.

 

Like Tim Suddard, my first motorsports car was one of these.  Just a cool used car in those days.  This is me changing rear springs in my parents' driveway as a teenager.

It's been clean so far.  As much as I would love to drive something like those cars, watching the in-cars in the dark at the top of the mountain, yikes.

In reply to Aaron_King :

yeah, no way would I go maximum attack with all those walls.

Also this weekend the lap record for closed cockpit cars was set with this modified GT3 AMG. More power and more aero which was active with the moveable wing.

Final two hours featured some incredible driving in mixed, then drying conditions. 

Hindaugh to Paul Tracy: "Did you enjoy your stint?"

PT: "Yeah, as much as sticking hot pokers in my eyes"

I was laughing when Paul was facing the wrong way in the cutting, he finally got a break in traffic and pulled a perfect u turn kicking the back end around and then tried to pull away and the car just slid out from him agian and he was pointed back at the wall.
