I should be there... but I usually wait till 11 days before the event to register.

You might have to deal with eric wong in TTA.

I'll be there in HPDE 2. Not sure if i'm camping next to my car or chickening out and getting a hotel room yet though. Never been there before and have not spent a whole weekend at the track yet.

I'll be there racing GTS3, but not sure about TT yet. Maybe if you guys need me to make a 5th person.

I dunno what I want more, your traqmate or your trailer?

It's gonna take some work to get my flatdeck to your trailer set-up/specs. You've got a nice little rig. Thanks so much! You are the man

Great to meet Cobra4B and others, I was not super social this weekend, I was out in no man' s land in the paddock (the price you pay for a late fri arrival) and I was strolling a 9 month old and changing diapers between runs.

VIR is such a great track, I enjoy the long time on the backstraight, I use the time to clean out my pants from the esses/10

Only my 3rd time there, I am still learning it, I am horribly sloppy in a few spots. Need one of the local pro's on here to learn me next visit...
