I was there yesterday, took these photos:
Between turns 10 & 11
This was a Cheetah, and the guy driving it could make this car MOVE...He started at the back of the pack, and picked up 5-6 places before he spun out and was black flagged before being able to return to the track.
These 3 C2's kept pace with each other throughout most of the race I saw them running in, and they were booking pretty good, but there was a Porsche that kept ******* them and eventually broke up their pack.
This was a C5 that was redone to look like a C1. It looked pretty sad, in my opinion, but SOMEBODY liked it, or else it wouldn't be on display, so...
The best bit was seeing a certain green C3 in the Car Corral, and commenting to my dad, "Yeah, this has got a big 502 engine in it!"
Some guy standing next to the car goes, "Dude, it's badged as a 427."
"Yeah, but there's a 502 in it. I've seen pictures of the engine compartment, and know who owns it."
