This is the first time we've been able to get a full field lined up in any order.  The cars are lined up in the final finishing order.  Tom Bowman's green Lola GT is inside row 1, then Kevin Chesney's Lola GT, then Bigstuff's Panel Van, then JJ's RRR Cheetah outside row 1, etc.
Lola GT's were the popular car of the day.  But there were some cars that don't see a lot of race action at VHORS, including the Cheetah, Cougar, MG, and '55.
At track level one common denominator can be found: these cars sit low.
In this shot I noticed one more common trait: wide brass independent front ends.
Dan Crawford chases JJ in the double horse shoe curves the come after the big straight.
Here's a rare shot where all 4 cars can be seen in the same area of the track.  At the far end, you can see the panel van fishtailing around the tight inside curve, while the Lola is demonstrating why aprons are used.  In front, two yellow Lolas speed to the end of the straight.
