Hey guys - I've been out of town all weekend, couldn't keep up on the forum... those of you in the DC/No VA area, what a beautiful weekend huh? Shame I didn't have my Z with me!
Anyway - still don't know eactly where we'll be yet - I imagine if any of you guys know where a good spot would be, we could request where they put us. Our only experience up there has been on track, not spectating. I think they will be good to us though - we're no Porsche or BMW club, but we do co-host three events up there each year.
I think 11:00 is a good time to meet up - my guess is Marty and Myself will be there a little earlier, but one way or another, we'll have everything ready to go by 11:00.
Unless Marty tells us different, I think we have a couple extra Saturday only tickets if anyone needs one. Email/PM myself or Marty and we'll let you know.

Here's a diagram of the track I have edited in red, showing the area where they have said they will try to put us (no guarantees) plus the viewing area mc350z mentioned.

I could get access to all the restricted areas, of course, but that would be stupid. I'm going to be strictly a spectator. I don't want Lee mad at me.

are we all paying the extra $10 to park so we can all park together? last year was my first time parking there and i didnt know any better so i had to walk along way and once i got closer there were all these awesome BMW's ferraris and lambos parked all together i felt a little stupid
im a little let down all summer long i anticipating going to the race proudly driving my new C6 but due to a constraint on a wheel option i ordered they bumped by pruduction date to 10/4 so thats out of the question. probably for the kershaw SC CMP event too. but then again it shouldnt take to long to get from bowling green kentucky!

OK, I'm not sure what you guys are talking about, but I can guess. You've got to be ready to dish the dirt. BTW: Marty took his own little agricultural excursion last weekend on VIR's Patriot Course. Driving Eric's 350Z! Unfortunately, no film.
