If you run 100octane. Best place is an Airport. Danville Airport will sell to you. It's usually half the price of what they charge at the track. It's called 100 low lead and it's green. But, it's the same stuff. I buy mine at local airport and save $300-400 a weekend.

>>>do they sell gas at VIR?

Yes

>>>I run 93; is it reasonably priced?

yes>>

Fun race at VIR today.

Couple interresting moments...
4:25 car to car contact with geoff and bloom
10:58 huge scary spin in front of me

So 2:02:7 on lap 8 with traffic.
We checked the car after,
Verdict: Toe was off front and rear and shocks settings were not equal on each side.
8HC tires

With the Red Race 1 being a total sh@t show I won't post video, but here is for your entertainment a video of Race 2 for the Red Group. With everybody on Slicks, it started pouring just as we hit the track.

Great drive, Frank! Even though VIR is MUCH better in the wet than a lot of other places, the steadily worsening conditions (more water) really tested everyone. You withheld the serious pressure from Seb very well, and Geoff paid the price (thankfully with no damage, but I though he was going to make it all the way to the river when he spun off)) and you did a great job! Thanks for posting!

Very impressive driving in Race 2 Red Group buy the guys who stayed out on a very wet track and finished on slicks.

Hah! Nice, Frank. Seb held you up in a few spots early, and there is untapped gSum for you T12 and later. Was that your 2:00.370?

Thx frank, best racing ever with you and harold.

My lap was not optimal.
I passed frank in 1 on the inside which is not optimal and put the car in neutral in 10.

+ Had race fuel and a proper tune which i dont have and you have a 58.

Next year maybe !
