John, thanks for the link........and the links included!

I'm thinking of a road trip out east........to ..........VIR this Summer Saw that Car Guys event 8/13+14+15 is like $675 Is it worth it?

Also found NASA's event 7/30+31+8/1. I see their 2 day events last year cost $299, do you know what a 3 day event at VIR costs?

See you at Mid-Ohio!

Sent you a PM. I should be able to get a discount on CarGuys events, but don't quote me on that (I'll have a better idea when I work their event in two weeks).

Remember that CarGuys offers MUCH more track time (4 hours on Saturday and Sunday alone, not sure about Friday), and the field is thinner than NASA.

We're back in April as well, but South.

Audi Club has the VIR's full course April 26-27. Need some Z's to chase down some of those darn German cars. Audi Club is nice group of enthusiasts. I'm planning to go.

Regards.

Sure do:

www.audicarclubna.org.

VIR falls under their Potomac chapter. Last VIR Audi event, I enjoyed watching John reel in just about everyone in his run group in his Z. Fun time.

Unfortunately, they want about $100 more than Triangle Z Club charged for a similar event.

Triangle Z Club sounds like a pretty good deal, but $100 really isn't that big a difference, given the size of the investment we have in our cars. I like the diversity of folks and cars that come to Audi events, as Audi's make up a little more than half of the attendees. It's also very well run, and not stuffy at all. I also find it fun sharing the track with Porsche's, Bimmers, Vettes, WRX's, STi's, Evo's, Ferrari's, and few Audi's. I'm just suggesting it as a fun alternative.

Thanks for the suggestion - it's always nice to know about the alternative options. BTW: your description sounds very much like our events. Triangle Z Club teams with Tarheel Sports Car Club, so there's always a great variety of cars; we even had a Lamborghini Countache this time!

Triangle Z sounds like fun. I think if VIR were closer to my house, I'd probably do both Triangle Z and Audi (snicker), as that is my current favorite track. My friends tell me my favorite may change if I try Mid-Ohio. Big benefit with Audi for me is that I attend free if I instruct.
