Cool. A gang of Corvettes usually park at the top of the hill (make a left when entering the Paddock - go to the end of the road and make another left. I see vms4evr will be there too. Mike

Thanks for the link. I've never been on VIR but I'm not exactly a novice either.

Maybe I'll just hang out in the paddock.

It's been a long week... Didn't see your post Mike.

I'll be there. 02 QS Z06 #56. A buddy will be there in a C5 if he has found one. He killed his current one a month ago. Supposed to have a C5 couple w/Z51 by now. Another buddy will be there in a Miata. They're both in intermediate and I'm in advanced. But I plan on group hopping on the 2nd day so I can go play and annoy them.

I'll talk to the boys about parking up on Corvette Hill. We usually don't because it's so darned far away from the main buildings. Since Chin is such a limited number of cars there will be tons of room down in the regular pit area. We should be able to easily find a chunk of real estate to coral together. We'll be getting there Saturday night around 5pm hopefully.

Just in case you guys don't know, Nov 3 is a 13hour SCCA Endurance race -- if you want to spectate a little before the Chin event.

Sounds good. We should be rolling in at about 5pm on Saturday as well. I agree - should be easy to coral the vettes together closer to the main building given the limited number of cars. I'll look for you guys when we roll in.

Default Chin @ VIR

Hey Mike,

I'll be instructing with Chin at VIR next weekend. I should be getting in about 4:30 Saturday evening. Let's try and park near each other. I'm staying at the Sleep Inn. How about you guys?

Jack - looking forward to seeing you next weekend. We're staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Danville since we couldn't bring the camper this time (no vacancies at the Sleep Inn). You'll probably get there before us - save us a spot next to you if possible.

JDillion I'm anxious to talk to you about your new pfadt set-up and watch how it performs on your C6Z06. Could be my next mod.

I have an extra room reservation at the Sleep Inn if you or anyone wants it ...indicate yes or PM me if interested as I will be cancelling later this week if not taken.

I'll be there as part of Eric's "pit crew" and looking forward to a lot of track time with the usual Corvette guys.
