OK that worked
So, should I post as 1 big post, or break it up. I've got 26 more I've selected. Let the readers have the choice, single pics, duals, 5 at a time, all 26. I've got P4, P car, Ron McCalls car and others from the show. I'll wait for the "concensus". One question though, any thought to a rear sway bar on the RCR car ? Notice the MDA, ERAs , and SuperPerf all have the sway bar attaching to the lower rear A.

Any way you like, Bruce, just post 'em! Great photos. Can't wait to see the rest.
My sway bar is attached to the lower a-arm as well. It's a GTD.

Ron M's car.
I can't believe he did all this inside of 4 months. Folks the pictures don't do justice to the paint. But 600+ HP. Yikes. Oh and see if you recognize the last bundle of snakes, it was his drive for the day.

Super Perf and MDA
Figured I'd combine 2. MDA and Superformance . Lost more good shots of the MDA. Looks like a nice car. Psuedo monocoque with the panels on the frame. I talked awhile with the Superperf guy, he asked me my favorite. I told him the RCR cars. He was giving me the spiel about continuation of numbering, etc.

ERAs are next
There was an ERA outside, I'm probably repeating from the previous on one picture and there were 3 inside. Only have the good shots of the spyder.

Very nice photos fellows, I appreciate it. If you've got more please post them up. I really like that Essex Wire color scheme - in my opinion that is one that does not get done nearly enough. But, it is a relief to NOT see a bunch of Gulf GT40s there as one might expect at a show! Nice cars all around!
RCR for delivery
One last batch. An RCR waiting for a home. Notice the "new" front tub of aluminum, not the steel frame, and the rear aluminum plate in place of the rear frame. Notice also, the support bars going from the rear suspension points and supporting that rear "tub". Perhaps that will act as a natural rear diffuser ?

2006 Carlisle Show - Superformance paint quality?
Ok, first let me say, Wow! Some great pics. I'm green with envy for those with RCR cars! Spectacular. Also, the ERA spyder is pretty nice too.
However, I have a one picky observation too. Look at the silver (w/black stripes) Superformance MkII. The pic from the rear that shows the scoop over the engine - is it my imagination or are the stripes about 3/4 inch off center? Study the spacing of the stripes on the scoop to see what I'm looking at? For the price they charge I'd like the stripes to be centered please. This is supposed to be a show car to attract buyers isn't it?
Ron - your car is my favorite - I love that blue/gray color with the black, and damn I love that rear ride height! You are the m*ther f***g GT40 building man!!!
Again - some beautiful cars - wish I was there.

mdemyanek, I'd be pretty picky too regarding painted strips but those appear to be centered. If you look at the front view of the car and follow the strips back over the spyder they appear to match up on the rear view with the spyder as well. Appears by the pics they are off center but I'll bet it's the angle of the camera shot. Which brings to mind, if you ever follow a Porsche Carrera down the road and compare the rear wheel quarter panels you'd swear they were different, but it's the angle the eye hits it that makes an illusion of unevenness.
