Watkins Glen Venom Red ACR

[str5010]

Despite being at Watkins Glen for two days this weekend I only managed to spot a 2009 Venom Red ACR in the line of traffic leaving after the race. I know they only made one in that color in 09 so I jumped out of the vehicle I was riding in and ran down to the car where the owner was nice enough to stop and let me snap a picture......and my camera died!

Does anyone know if that owner is on the forum? The car was monotone as opposed to the 2008 VR ACRs which all had the black center band. I would swear that his color also looked a shade lighter.

I would love to have a picture of the car and learn why, if anyone knows, they just made 1 in what appears to be a slightly different shade of VR.

I think Bryan took a pic, his TA was parked down by the bus stop. Chris brought his 99 ACR also. That Venom Red ACR also pulled in with a black mamba. They had parked down by the media center.

Kinda funny though, there were 5 Vipers at the race and one was in it. Had to be about 300 Corvettes in attendance for the pace laps.

I was eyeing the 09 ACR as well, the owner said he has two other Vipers as well, a gen 2 and 3. I failed to ask if he was on here or not. There was also a 2016 ACR from Bondurant hanging around that I left some drool on. It's too bad for that late caution or they might have picked up a podium finish. Something has to give with those BS performance restrictions as they kill that car.

I saw Bryan's car but didn't run into him. I also took a bunch of pics of the ACR-E that was running laps. I mentioned on the owner of the VR that I would try to contact him via the forums but forgot to actually ask if he was on this particular forum. I was jogging alongside the car so judgement wasn't the best.

Bryan saved the day! Now the picture looks more like my car's color so now I'm confused haha.

Looks good - it's a colour that's better without stripes....
