Are you talking engine cooling?

Sorry you can't make it ... keep the 1st weekend in February open (TZC/THSCC) and the second weekend in April open (TZC/THSCC ... possibly AV).

And the events are not restricted to Z/G's ... not enough interest combined to warrant restricting it when talking about a track as expensive as VIR.

I know. It was killing me to miss them.

I had a huge exam that I was studying for. Since the exam was yesterday...it's back to the track for me!!!

Yes, the inspection will be required for this event... I recommend using the TZC/THSCC inspection form (THIS ONE)

If this will be your first event, I'd recommend detuning safely as much as possible. I can almost guarantee you'll have more fun, and you'll definitely learn more that way. (And it should be safer for your car too.)

Bill,

I live in Durham, but I can get you home if you'll still need a ride. My name is Kyle. I am a member of the Asphalt Ventures staff. Just let Stacy know your looking for me. He'll know where I'll be.

Should have plenty of room. Everything fits in the back of the car. The only thing I carry in the front is beer and cigars.

Given that this is a Monday event and short notice we decided that VIR Feb would be a better time for the seat evaluation. We will have about 200 cars there then so more selection and also on a saturday.
