I seriously thought I heard somewhere that

Video from NNJPCA event Nov1-3--black group.
The car shooting the video is a 996 cup car; the orange and blue car he's chasing in the second half of the video is a 2011GT3 RS
owned by one of the guys in our group and driven by pro driver John Lewis.

The only similarities between my driving and his is that I was up on the curbs nearly as much as he was .
150 mph on the back straight, 145 on the front and going through the S's at nearly 120....yipes!

Open passing--anywhere;there's segment where he passes an older 911 in front of the start stop line and I don't think the older car saw him or gave him a pass..

His car isnt a cup car is it? I think its a "regular" GT3RS. Same one Shannon drives.

On the link forwarded to me somebody referred to it as a 996 Cup; is this a 996 GT3 RS (?)

Any mods? It looked like the HP on the straights was nearly the same for both cars

Regular old 2004 GT3. No RS. Certainly some mods, Matt is a club racer (both GT3 and Boxster spec).

Are they going to replace it?
Seems to me that you can't have the Oak Tree Turn if there's no oak tree at the turn.
Very iconic because even the VIR logo includes the tree.
Happy Porsche'ing

They were cloning the tree, not kidding. They wanted to clone the tree to replant and let it grow all over...
