The orange one is Jeff Underwood's, his build log is here:

I know he was supposed to be at VIR last weekend or the weekend before, and from a message I'd seen on the Yahoo group or here, he had a blast and was going to do a write up on the weekend.

Very cool. VIR looks like a fun track, Id love to get out on the track, only if my car had some better suspension/tires.

Hey...yeah, that is me in the orange car. Actually I am in the green Birkin also in the passenger seat. Those pics are from a NASA HPDE/Racing weekend which was just this past weekend. I don't actually race the car (and don't plan to anytime soon) but do in-car instruction with various clubs and will do time trials in it. This past weekend I had two students with Birkins. There were acutally three of them there, so a total of four sevens counting my own...pretty cool. I will have to x-post my weekend writup in the builder's log section and post some video. Any more of those pictures floating around out there?

Those were the only ones I saw. Heres the thread on the VADriven forums of all the cars:

Looked like a ton of fun, lots of interesting cars out there :)
