VIR just put in some FIA curbs and you don't want to hit those monsters. The esses will definitely be slower. Just be careful.

I might come up to watch. My car isn't quite ready for HPDE yet. Maybe I can bum a ride around the track with someone who knows what they're doing.

I had a great time at VIR today. I met a couple CF types. Thanks for being patient with nooby questions.

It would be nice if all you guys would be thoughtful enough to park together. I put some miles on my shoes walking around looking at all the Corvettes.

Next time one of you poor schmucks will have to be my instructor.

Get notified of new replies

To going to VIR for some r&r

Travis was parked over by the garages along pit road. I got to chat with him for a half a minute before he had to head out onto the track.
