Hi Everyone,

This event is open to non P-cars. Currently they need a few instructors for the last few novices signed up--very few vettes thus far. See the web page below.

I did the one with them back in Aug last year. Plenty of track time, plenty of fast cars - very well run. I will probably go. Car is tuned and ready, so the track is the best place to find out what it will do.

See you there.

The problem is that it is a one day event and during the week to boot. It isn't cheap either so they will always have a tough time of it until they get at least 2 days for an event. They also charge the instructors which does not help in this situation. The coordinator is about 50 miles from me but, I for one, am not willing to drive 11 hours round trip to VIR + hotel for 1.5-2 hours of track time, any time. I have heard they do a nice job however.

VIR in March can be really nice or really bad. If you have to cross over the mountains from the West it can be a thrill sometimes.

Good to hear, are you instructing? I guess you can still get in if not instructing just by being solo. I haven't solo'd yet so this forces me into green group in this case.

I know--the one day format isn't popular--but if you are close enough that you can just drive in and avoid the hotel bill, then it's really no less expensive then a 2 day event with the 2nd night in a hotel.

During the week is nice for some as the family doesn't miss you--works if you can miss a day at work.
