What a great day to be at the track! Low 80s, sunny, breezy and dry (low humidity is a rarity in CT in July)... not to mention the chance to see some of international racing's best in person. An added treat was the news that this would be the venerable Audi R8's last IMSA race (the R10 will replace it regularly from here on out).
PCA had a special "paddock" set up for members (as did the Corvette club), and gave out free goodies to members ("Porscheplatz" hats, and 911GT3 lanyards with credential pockets). Here is a blurry shot of the corrall (sorry for the low quality!):
The first thing that greeted us in the PCA pavilion was a brand-spankin-new 997 Turbo. It looks much better in person than in the magazines...
Also parked in the pavilion was the first Noble I've ever seen in person... it also looks much better in the metal than on paper.
This little guy was zooming back and forth in the parking lot, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what kind of car it was. For some reason the word "Manta" pops into my head... or maybe some kind of Marcos?... but I could be wrong. I couldn't get a great pic of it because it was in motion and the shutter on my camera has a bad delay, but this was the best I could do:
Many, many more to come (uploading extra slow tonight)...
