Pics from the ALMS @ LimeRock, Ct.

Went to the ALMS race this weekend at LimeRock Park. The wife and I got the 2day pass so we/I could maximise our time at the track. Place looks awesome with the new spectating areas and the re-paving job. Place really makes for some crazy racing.
Sorry if some of them aren't the best quality, we need to get a new camera.

Here you go... there's a lot.





























Can't wait to see this thing compete next year













My wife keeping herself entertained...


Couple of cars from the lot...











Carbon Wheels on this thing...


Something a Ford Small Block will actually make go fast...lol

This blew by us on the way home with the blower whining away...



This dude was crazy!!!

Got Boost?

So much stuff to try to take in when you go to race like this, something you really need to experience in person.
Can't wait for next year, I'm ready to go back.

nice pics, now I definitely want to spectate at laguna...

As my wife said seeing the new M3 GT2, "it looks like it's making love to the road." I can't wait for 2009 season to see how it does.

Just these 2... it was hard to photograph with the way they had it positioned.




Hope you like them


Thanks to all of you for the kind words...

Wow, amazing photos! The track looks so uncharacteristically smooth now! WTF?!

And that M3 is amazing looking, but they just changed the GTR version. Look it up @ BMW's site or BMWcca.org... its all smooth and boring!


Edit:
Found the official vid:
