Race Fans’ Rides at Mid-Ohio

By Jen Dunnaway

People came from all over the check out both the American Le Mans race and the Indy race this weekend at Mid-Ohio, and you’d think these high-dollar race fans would have snootier rides than, say, your average NASCAR follower. Sure, there were more Euro makes mixed in, and more imports generally, but it turns out this crowd is as hard to generalize about as any other, and some of the infield cruisers I saw here were as wild as anything I’d seen tailgating at Talladega. Check out this VW bus with the roof-mounted tent: is this every 7-year-old’s dream or what? View more fun fan rides after the jump.

This dude had the AWD Astro van—great for four-wheelin’ in the hilly infield.

Here’s an even burlier four-wheel-drive van…

The Porsche Club of America was having a little shindig, and the ‘Vettes also had their very own section in the Corvette Corral.

I like FFR cobra’s better, and I also liked that 4×4 e250(350?)

Would you believe that the huge 4×4 van is actually a tow vehicle behind a RV? I saw that same one coming in on Sunday for the Indy race. That thing was huge. My favorite rides for this weekend were the new Challenger and the Superformance Cobra (signed by Mr Shelby himself.)
