Another update to add:
While it wasn't advertised in the event registration and promotion, we are going to host our annual driver appreciation and time trial awards banquet during the February VIR Full Course weekend. The banquet will be held at The Institute Conference Center Saturday night beginning at 6:30. The Conference Center is just near the Danville Airport. This will be a buffet style dinner and cash bar. Trophies for the 2007 Time Trial series will be awarded at this time. The banquet is included in your event entry fee. So even if you didn't participate in the time trial, please come out and enjoy some fine food with us.

 

Id love to try out some track driving but I dont wanna put any beatings on my Z as its my DD and only car lol!

j3ff

 

Trust me, at first you will most likely be less hard on the car than most of the ZDayZ driving and other spirited driving most on here do. Plus if you AutoX, it's about the same.

 

so is mine!! Man up and get on the track

Marty is right, your first few times you will be much less hard on your car then any good "spirited" driving days on some twisty roads.

See if you can do one day only, save some money and see if ya like the whole experiance before dropping a ton into it.

 

We've got a few instructors in need of a few students still

03Platimum... PM me if you're interested in a one-day entry

 

Received an email from my instructor Wally this morning... he says I can ride with him in his vette, i'd rather drive

 

Wally's corvette is always fun.. So is he.

 

I am in the same boat as you, and I am out there. My car is an 07! Also, I go one further than Marty, I think that AutoX is harder on the car than the track (assuming you don't hit anything). Even if that said, I think I seen about the same number of accidents at AutoX as the track, maybe more.

 

hey,
Looks like we ended up with 20 Z cars.. Good turn out.

 

Well,
I want to thank everyone for another GREAT event. Things went very smoothly and we had so little issues that they aren’t worth mentioning. We seem to have a great class of drivers every time and it makes putting on these events a pleasure. I also want to thank all those who helped us put on these things.

I am also glad we filled the banquet hall Saturday night. The food and company were top notch.

I hope to see a few more Z’s in April.

We had a GREAT weekend last weekend on Full Course... 60's and sunny on Saturday, 50's and windy on Sunday, but DRY all weekend. No major incidents (though word of advice... if you go off track at VIR when the grass is dry and dormant... keep moving will ya? Just ask Mhoward1)

Here are some sample pics from Mark Boudoucies from the weekend:

 

... and some more...

 

Hey!!!
I did keep moving...just not fast enough.

heck, I am just smoking hot!

 

oh noooooooooooooooo, i just put two and two together. I saw on another forum everyone was asking for a light... slow but i got it!!


was that a red car I saw being pushed onto a double hauler sunday? I didn't see the incident but we all heard about it

 

great event Stacy... i hope you received my email. and nice to FINALLY meet you and some others

 

Marty decided the grass outside T17 was too tall... so when "mowing it" didn't work, he decided to set it on fire.

Other people thought it looked fun and tried it as well in other spots... one guy went a little crazy and burnt up his 944 though



We spent a couple hundred bucks on fire extinguisher charges to VIR this weekend

It was good meeting you and your Dad Bill... glad you had a good time!
