Beginner = Green
Novice = Yellow

Advanced = Black
Old Guys = Red

So you are correct!

How old are you? My Dad will turn 75 that weekend and will be out there in his Z06.

I'll be there for my first ever HPDE! Can't wait to get on the track.

I've autocrossed a few times over the years.

I raced motorcycles with CCS for 6 years and actually raced at VIR back in 04, although it was the short course.

I'm in the beginner (green) group.

As a warm up to the NCM event in June, 10/10ths Motorsports has an event at VIR (Full Course) on March 14/15. Lots of Corvettes, in fact I say mostly Corvettes. Lots of track time. I believe about three hours a day. Some discussion about this event at this thread:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/auto...h-14-15-a.html
Plenty of space left in all groups, To register go to:
http://www.1010thsmotorsports.com/vi...1415_2011.html
This will be one of the events I'll be doing before the NCM HPDE at VIR this year. See you guys there, hopefully.

Mike your coming to the south.

Only Vitamin Q and Virgina Baked Ham will do here.

Vitamin Q is southern style BBQ. Vinegar & spices sauce based Pork slow roasted over an open pit of Hickory wood. So tender it just falls apart. Take a fresh hard roll, pile on some Vit Q, Hot sauce, and Slaw. Yummm

Or some Fresh Red Drum and Blue Crab from the Atlantic. Scratch the Red Drum wrong season

Looking forward to it, too! and yes - my shoulder is back to 95% range of motion, which is about as good as it going to get...

I'm In, got to check and make sure I put it on the vacation calendar at work.
I'll be instructing again - right now it looks like Susan and Chris will be there to help out as needed.

Short-throw - can anyone get in on that meal plan - I love me some prawns and lobster
