Question about rotors
I'm on my way to VIR and realized my rear 2 piece RB rotors are on the wrong side. (ie left rotor is on the rightside). Is this going to be a issue? I don't think I will have time to change them.

No, you will be OK. I have raced with them reversed. Directional rotors usually have cooling vanes that work like a centrifugal pump pulling air from the inside and spinning it through the rotor vanes outward. When it's reversed the cooling will not be ideal but I didn't have any issues. If you have time between sessions just swap them from side to side. Should take less than 30 minutes.

I don't think you'll have any problem for a day or so at the track - especially on the rear.
I had to replace a front right rotor at the track last fall, and all I had was a left front. These were DBA solid rotors with just slots, but they worked great for 5 or 6 more sessions.
For that matter, the stock rotors on the C6 Z51 and Z06/GS are the same for both the left and right sides. The vanes on the front rotors are curved the same and are correct for the left side, so they are wrong when mounted on the right side!! I've run the stock rotors on my Z06 at the track and they work okay until they crack!!!
So.....my vote is to go ahead and run them until you have time to swap them!!
