No VIR for me; too far and too close to NE events, I'm after points.
I tried to convince my son to go to that camp too, but he wasn't interested. Too much sitting around and not enough seat time, he told me!
I hope to go to VIR for the Nationals though, I know that circuit well, 2 x 12hr enduros there (Charge of the Headlight Brigade).
I did my comp school at VIR, good school I thought. However it was a crazy as hell busy day and long too.
We had 4x40minute track sessions and 5x50 minute classroom sessions. Then the next day provided you passed you had to do 2 sessions observing in flag station's.

that's a comp school, not the kids' summer camp thing.
We're headed to Pocono for the weekend.
I thought you were a NE guy?

We just put a new PS rack with some nice bushings after finding out that it was the rack that was leaking at Lightning.
A manual rack in the paddocks has a definite lack of appeal, I don't see me switching.

How about a trip to VIR next week Richard

Thanks Dan, this is going to be a fun car.


Frank, I'm a NE guy for sure but VIR is just such a great track plus I need the practice for the nationals
All things being well I will be at LRP, NJMP and WGI

got the tub last weekend, stripped it bare on the sundat. This weekend I will fit the cage and interior and then the weekend after it is into the garage for driveline swap. Should be back in 3 weeks time

The new secret paint job will have to wait for the close season (should be worth a second or 2!)
