Default Track day VIR 8/25-8/26

I know its late but the Tar Heel Region of BMW CCA is having a two day HPDE at VIR full course 8/25-8/26, yes thats a weekend. You can sign up for both days or just one. They will have instructors there if you want one. I think its mandatory for all novices. Two of the instructors are Freedom Motorsports drivers and last years ST class champions Tom Long and Dave Whitis. I meet these guys at Daytona this year and they are a riot.
I will be tackling this course for my first time in the z and learning the course for when I return in October.
Go to www.motorsports.reg and click on the event for more information

I'll be getting things ready to drag the BSP datsun out to Lincoln that weekend. Good luck, though.

Tarheel BMW is a great organization.
But have you considered Tarheel Sports Car Club?
They are at VIR full course for 3 days Sept 7 - 9.
WAY more track time - and there are 8 350Z's registered already!
Check it out:

03, you have the black bsp z correct? I think I saw you at DC Pro this year. Good luck at Nationals. Many of my friends from NER will be there.
Reserved, I just had this event tossed on my lap, so I haven't checked out any others. Track events for me aren't as simple as just showing up and driving. I need help with a few things, so if I don't have friends or family available I have to pass

Yeah, that was me. My car was useless crap at the D.C. Pro . I know most of the NER guys. PJ and the bunch gave me all kinds of grief for withdrawing from Devens.
