It's nice to see PD Cunningham lending his expertise(sp?) to another nsx team

Are folks planning to attend the VIR event with PD ??

We had a great time with them (SC World Challenge) at the RFK street-course in late July.

Yes I am planning to attend.

Three of us from Dallas were there. One of the DallasNSX folks was entering a 944 Turbo in the PCA Club Race (GT3S class). We flew in on Thursday and out on Sunday evening.

Benoit's run before their pit stop was amazing... from the back of the pack to second place in class. PD took over and help position to come in 2nd in class behind the Istook/Aines Motorsport Audi and I think and 8th place overall. Oh - did I mention this was in the rain... and a LOT of it. Absolutely the worst race conditions I have seen in a LONG time.

Lud - you were there as well?

I was there all weekend, (thurs. - mon.)hate I couldn't have gotten up with you guys. The NSX was flyin! That was a great drive, PD was helping with the setup on Thurs. What a blast to talk / hang out w/those guys! The weather was nasty to say the least.

You wouldn't happen to drive a white car, would you?

No, sorry for the confusion. I am going to the Speed GT race on the weekend of Oct 25.

I do remember seeing the white car, (parked in the skidpad / PCA, vendor area) but that was not me. I didn't have my car there because I had to drive up a few of the Porsche's for sale with Classic Cruiser's.

Lud, I couldn't ever get a real response from Leith about a lunch deal for the GT race, but to be honest I really haven't pursued it all that hard. Let see if we can get a response from our local NSXr's and see what kind of confirmed turnout we can get. I'll send out a group email tonight.
