GT [LIVE](http://www.gtlivetour.com/) Well ive decided to make a 10 hour trip down to virginia to check out the last weekend of Grand-am competition. because i havent made it to a stop this year. and theres a little happening called GT LIVE which is hitting the east coast for the first time. Dorifto + TIme attack + RallyX + Grand-am twin 6hrs + bikini comp = decent time for $40 da whole weekend. not to mention theres going to be a corral for all the different import’s. IM just curious to see how beautiful VIR’s facility is supposed to be. its a country club type atmosphere… with a road course or two. IF anyone is interested im sure my car will be in the subie corral from time to time all weekend. ![http://www.gtlivetour.com/events/att/subarumeet/subaru_flyer_thumb.jpg](http://www.gtlivetour.com/events/att/subarumeet/subaru_flyer_thumb.jpg) ![http://www.gtlivetour.com/events/att/rally-x/rally-x_group.jpg](http://www.gtlivetour.com/events/att/rally-x/rally-x_group.jpg) ![http://www.gtlivetour.com/events/att/images/gtsr_imp.jpg](http://www.gtlivetour.com/events/att/images/gtsr_imp.jpg) ---

I knew about it, but I dunno, it won’t be the same without the JGTC cars. If I had a time attack car, I’d definitely go just for the track time. And it’s definitely a good show for those of you that still have yet to experience a real race venue. But the fact is, I’ve seen Rolex/ Grand Am cup already this year, so I have no reason to go. If the JGTC cars were going to be there, then I would go definitely. ---

Weather is kinda shitty so far. cold n misty rain. there is a sweet Twin turbo Time attack STI & a even faster EVO. ![http://static.flickr.com/89/262329478_dbbb1d37e1.jpg](http://static.flickr.com/89/262329478_dbbb1d37e1.jpg) RallyX is more like a mud race.

And to answer to another thread on here. as skilled as Stunt Bike guys must be. Its kinda booring to watch. after the 2nd or 3rd guy… I guess stunt riding is more interesting when the guy goes a little faster down the strait. ---
