Default Richmond Corvette Challenge track rental - different track option

A friend of mine is thinking about a track rental in Feb. at Virginia Motorsports Park. This track is about 30-45 min from Richmond Dragway. Since RD can't do the track rental for us, would anyone be interested in going to VMP on Feb 23rd if we can arrange it?

Please let me know and I will pursue it further.

Edgar/Steve, let me know if this works for ya'll.

Still have not heard from the track (might be gone for holidays), but here is the tentative list if it happens:

Dave Alan offered to help with this so why don't the two of you chat and come up with a game plan then get back with Steve Oyer on this?

VMP owner, Dale Foley, took delivery of a new C6Z06 in September and is a huge fan of the car. Thought might be given to approaching him personally about the rental.

As long as my back is healed up enough to allow me attend the Nationals I would come down early enough to run practice on Friday so count me in!
