2011 Pirelli Ultimate Track Car Challenge presented by Grassroots Motorsports

July 22 Virginia International Raceway – Alton, VA

The 2011 Pirelli Ultimate Track Car Challenge was a hot one, not only in terms of competition but in the fact that entrants had to contend with extreme temperatures throughout the weekend. Here’s a video look at the 2011 event.

We’re also putting together a playlist of the UTCC’s greatest hits on our GRMTV YouTube page. CLICK HERE to see what’s been posted so far.
If you’ve got cool video from the event and would like to be included on the playlist, drop Tom Heath a line.

We’d like to send a huge thank you to our event sponsors. Without them, the event (and especially the awards) wouldn’t be nearly as cool.

We would also like to say thanks to the staff of the NASA Mid-Atlantic region. These folks are top notch, and kept the day on schedule and under control. If you’ve never raced with this region, you owe it to yourself to join them for a race weekend.
