Talking about it now makes me NOT think about it during the track season. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!

There’s June, October and November, too.

I think all are three-day events, but some require the driver to be Solo cleared to participate the first of the three days.

Come on out!

Let's not forget Labor Day weekend with Potomac! Three days of heaven with the East Coast's best...

Oops, sorry!! Potomac is great and that is a wonderful time to be at VIR!

I’m at Lime Rock every Labor Day Racing, perhaps a time for a change after thirty years! Hahahaha!

More than you want to spend, but less than it's worth.

I did one of those, the zone 2 three day DE back in 2001. So far it's cost somewhere in six figures.

High or low 6 figures? Low 6 figures, cheap. High 6 figures, just about right.

Vetch, I got your PM. Unfortunately, I've tried to reply and send you new messages apparently without success and I have lost patience. I'd be more than happy to compare notes on you-know-what and exchange information. Send me another PM with your contact information and I promise to respond. BTW, I grew up in West By God, so I speak the language. Batman33.
