Post Track: 1 - Silver CGT: 0

Another sad pic of a CGT with track damage.

It's over on page 208 of the Random Picture thread in the Off Topic forum.
No idea what track, but with a Ford Excursion in the background, I'm guessing somewhere in the US (where Ford Excursions are said to roam!)

Seems all three accidents were independent of each other, but all happened in turn 10.

So I count three damaged cars at that Audi Club April event:
1. CGT
2. Blue Mustang Cobra
3. Yellow GT3

That is a very bad outcome for what is supposed to be driver's education! Hopefully, no one hurt. And in all the pictures, I didn't see a single Audi...

I'm moving to the Raleigh area in July. I must experience turn 10 at VIR

Jeff:

This is Chris Brown from Charlotte. I almost bought your C2T a few years ago but you decided to keep it.

I am very familiar with VIR and would be glad to show you the ropes. Probably 80 days there and over 2000 laps. Several offs, a blown engine, but no sheetmetal damage (knock on wood)

I should have my Cup Car soon and could meet up with you at a DE.

Chris, what clubs organise track days at VIR? My PCA region doesn't.
I live in New Bern, NC and it would seem to be one of the easiest places for me to get to.
Thanks.

Thanks.

Tons of clubs.... go to www.trackschedule.com to see.

I am in New Bern a few times per year on business. email me at work @ cbrown@bmstpa.com and maybe we can connect.
