Back from Visa SportsCar Race or How even Acura racers can't shake the bad taste disease

["Kris Rayner" <veritech@fix.net>]

Well, I got back from two days of the Visa SportsCar race at 
Laguna Seca.  WOW.  I went last and both times I walk away 
amazed.  Porsche was pretty much lagging in the prototype class, 
Panoz and BMW LMP were neck and neck the whole race for the 
lead with the Ferrari 333SP in 5th. Alas there were no Audi R8r's 
present and there was the one Porsche GT-1.  On Saturday they 
had the Speedvision World Challenge.  The field consisted of 
mostly Acura Integra GS-R's, which won.  Granted they had fast 
cars, but I still don't have to like them, especially since one of 
teams transporters was a Volvo semi with an Acura symbol 
plastered on the grill.  The racers are no different than the posers 
on the streets when it comes to false badging...Yuck!!!!!
There were some very nice Vdubs there.  A silver GTI with a 1.8t 
bading on it.  Don't know if it was just turbocharged or if it was 
indeed a 1.8T engine.  A nice all blacked out Corrado SLC, the 
New D. supercharged VR6 Passat wagon, a very poor-taste Jetta III 
automatic 2.0L with 17" Superturismos, a couple of really clean 
GTI's one was a silver MK1 and a black MK4.
Hopefully I've have some pictures some if they turn out ok.
