All wrong. Their website is screwed up. Only one race has happened so far.

Something is wrong. The schedule says they still have races to go. There website is either way screwed up or I'm an idiot, could be a combo of both.

edit: OK, the main site is totally screwed up. The 996 won last year and that was 4 years in a row. They have only done one track so far. Road America. Here are the results:

Viper cleaned up.
Viper is pretty much stock. It's got the 650R package - headers, exhaust, intake.
It's has a race alignment.
That's it.

edit: GT-R finshed 4th. I would like to know what's been done to the car. If it's stock that's very impressive.

another edit:

Overall results are correct so far:

#1 996
#2 GT-R
#6 Viper ACR

Viper ACR did really bad in the wet-skidpad test! Kind of a cheesy for a track event, IMO. But, iit's mostly track racing so it should be able to catch up! haha

looks like 3rd overall. The cayman GTR won the wet skid pad beating all the AWD cars.

I've always meant to go over to check this out when they come through here every few years, but I never have. They race at Hallett Raceway every 2-3 years and it's less than an hour from here. I think it would be really fun to do some year, but I need to move up a tax bracket or two before that can happen.
