First of all, Thank you to all the competitors who entered this year. It was one of the fastest fields we've ever seen with some of the most interesting cars. From the winning Riley Motorsports Viper GT3-R to the EVSR electric race cars, Mitchum Motorsport's Lamborghini, Ryan Eversley's 600hp BMW 1 Series and a Civic mocking the BMW art cars, this event stood out as one of the best fields.

You know what else we saw? Spectators. A lot of people came out just to watch this year, so that was pretty cool. Thanks again to everyone who participated. Really enjoyed walking around talking to competitors. Hope to see you all again next year.

True, everyone there was taken aback by Andy Hollis and his little CRX.

And here's a video of the fastest lap at the Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge.

Meh. If I had an awesome car and some driving talent, I could have been in the top 10.

Pretty shocked that the Viper was four seconds faster than the Radical. That's some serious velocity.

Dang, at that speed VIR starts to look like an autocross!

171mph in the straight. Yikes. I loved watching the g-sensor jump from one side of the circle to another.

And it looks like the beginning of his lap was compromised a few times by traffic, could have been even faster. Wow.

I said the exact same thing first time I saw the video. Incredible.
