Roar Racing Makes Internatioanal News
Masserati Rob's Roar Racing Makes international news.
Corvette Forum's own Masserati Rob ( aka assistant Mayor of Big Pine Key) got a one FULL paragraph on the-Paddock.net

so what is all the Hoopla??
91 cars!! That’s the total of combined entries in both the Grand Sport and Street Tuner classes for Round Two of the Grand American Cup Series this weekend at the historic Virginia International Raceway circuit. The 3.27 mile classic road course has been around for many years and seen many classes of cars, but pretty much every square inch of it’s weathered asphalt will be filled with exotic, street-legal racing machinery for this event.
The first round of the series was held at Daytona International Speedway way back in January, so these teams have had almost three months to prepare for this race, and the multitude of competitors are salivating at the chance to get back into competition again.
As usual, we will first preview the Grand Sports Class then turn our attention to the Street Tuner class.

Roar Racing will also counter with three Mazda RX-8’s. Beau Buisson and Walter Netto will team in the # 25 entry while Andy Brumbaugh and Susan Addison will drive the # 26 car. The trio of Rob Whitener III, Nick Gurucharri and Mark Allen will combine to pilot the third # 62 entry. Top-five finishes are distinct possibilities for all three machines.
so what is all the Hoopla??

Go get'em, Rob!
We're closing down the municipal offices here in Big Pine Key after the nude dancing & beer swilling contest on Friday evening and a couple of us from here are cruising up to watch the race Saturday afternoon.
We'll see y'all in the paddock somewhere.
Good luck, Rob !!!

ALTON, Va. (April 22, 2006) -- In a race marred by five caution periods and sporadic rainfall, No. 33 Playboy Racing Nissan 350Z co-drivers Blake Rosser and David Murry outlasted the field of 83 cars to claim victory in Saturday's VIR 200, Round 2 of the 2006 Grand-Am Cup
Series.
I had to post this podium picture
HOLTOM & CURRAN CLAIM STREET TUNER CLASS VICTORY
In the ST class, Eric Curran battled numerous cars during the final stretch of the race, but never relinquished the class lead en route the class win alongside co-driver Jamie Holtom in the No. 01 Clearscada/GM Performance Division Chevrolet Cobalt.
Curran took control from Holtom during one of the race's caution periods and was able to avoid major damage for the remainder of the race to claim his fifth-career Grand-Am Cup Series class victory.
"I have to thank Georgian Bay Motorsports and the guys from General Motors," Curran said. "This Chevy Cobalt SS was amazing today. We made the right pit calls, the car was amazing through traffic and just the handling of the Cobalt getting through some of these ups and downs and the bumpy sections of this track, the car just worked well. We shuffled through some traffic and kept our nose clean. It was a survival race. There were obviously a lot of yellows. Again, this Chevy Cobalt SS was great and these guys with Georgian Bay Motorsports do a phenomenal job."
