Manny,

We will be using the North paddock and pit road. The track is really fast when the weather is cool. So the extra grip will help you shorten the learning curve. Look me up, I'll be glad to give you some pointers. I usually park up by the false grid on the left.

Mark,

According to the supps we are running the Full Course (3.27 mi).

Regarding videos, I would suggest checking out the following site;

Scroll down to VIR, then download and watch Debbie Buras' race. Good stuff!

Mark,
I don't know if they are having a test day or not, but if so you should take advantage of it. We were there this year and it took me all weekend to get enough speed to keep me from getting run over. I've never been to a track where I could actually lower my lap times by thirteen seconds. We used that spiral part of the course. It is alot of fun with all of those blind corners and elevation changes. If your not smiling inside the car when you get to the top of the esses you should check your pulse.

Yeah we were planning on doing the test day on friday, we seem to do well after testing on friday at a new track(new hampshire and the glen). Ive been watching quite a bit of video and I think I have a pretty good idea of the layout. Any chance you guys are going to make it down for that race?

We're done for the year, sad to say. It's time for me to take care of some neglected responsibilities. I'm not twenty years old, in case you did'nt notice. I wish I could do them all. Good luck Mark.

darn good video, thanks. looks like a nice track, hope for good weather that weekend. any other CCPS guys going?

[JeffYoung]

Manny, I'll be there.

[manny]

then i'll meet you at the track. BTW have you heard anything from the CCPS board? i was just wondering where i stand in the pionts.

[iambhooper]

I'm in. Ed and I are running the ECR, saturday, and I'll be doing the SARRC on Sunday.

I expect to be paddocked with Bill and Heather... look for the British flag and youll find us.

[manny]

I'm considering switching to the ECR group. i have'nt heard anything from the ccps board. i sent an email to one of the contacts and it was undeliverable, oh well.i do like running the 90 minute enduro's better. good luck to all and i'll see you at the track, and the social too.
