73 new pictures up in the Autos.ca gallery of the cars that participated in the rally.  I think I capture ~65 of the 75 vehicles.  Heavy Mustang, GTO, BMW, Subaru content.

But hey, there is a Hyundai Sonata in there!

Thanks for the updates and the pictures.  It sure looks like you guys had a good time.  What was it like to drive on a banked oval?

It was crazy.  These banks are not even that high, but you could feel them trying to pull your car down the slope at pace speeds.  We gapped the pace car at one point and had at it and it; that sensation was even stranger.  Felt like I was at 9/10ths but was probably closer to 5/10ths due to the banking.  It must take a lot to ignore your instincts when driving like that.

Thanks!  I'm not a nascar fan, but, it would be fun to try a banked oval at least once.
