Default PCA Thunderbolt Race Schedule?

I might be jumping the gun but was wondering if anyone's seen a schedule for the race? Hoping to avoid an early departure, daughter heading to Italy for a semester abroad on Sunday of the race weekend. Hoping the Sprints are all done by Saturday.

Thx Guys. Pete confirmed the 3rd sprint is Sunday am. Looks like another race weekend with doing only 2 out of the 3 sprints and no enduro. Aw.... the pleasures of parenthood.

That sucks, my kids will be at the track at least for Sat/Sun. Those who partook of my son's car wash business at the Glen take note that he'll be there and anxious to help again at this race...

I got a villa Thurs-Sun because my wife was coming and now there is a change of plans, it will be just me and my daughter. I understand these have two levels, if anyone wants to split the suite, PM me.

Funny, they told me the Villa I was renting had two levels with a king sized bed on the second and two doubles on the first, like the Villas at VIR. Is it possible different units have diffeconfigurations? I'll have to call and double check because if it is as you described, I am being royally ripped off.

Here is the link, sure looks like two levels to me.
