We were on a waiting list and I ended up getting in, so Andy (GooRoo) and I borrow a trailer and use his Jeep Liberty (not the strongest tow vehicle in the world) and make a 22 hour trek to Virginia International Raceway. We drove straight through, switching drivers when one needed sleep and stoping only for gas/food/et.

Last night at around 7ish we met up with my track dawg Bruce (red cobra R) who is instructing this weekend. The next morning we woke up silly early and got ready to run VIR. WHOOOT!!!

I was really pumped up to meet Fritz (Frits Flynn) and not only did we get to meet but he ended up matched up as my instructor. His instruction got me up to speed in one session. I also got to ride as a passenger in his car and got to experience an awsome display of driver skill. My hat goes off to Fritz as he was like a men among boys out there.

Randy Pobst was also at the track and did a speach on his recent racing season. I am going to work on getting a picture with him and ty to have him sign somthing ;-)

Tomorrow will be another great day at the track, I'll am taking video and will post somthing when I get time, here are some pictures that Andy took from today:

Here is a pic of Fritz (on righty) and me (on left), I look like a friggin thug...was up with that LOL

The real question is, who's faster?

 

Damn Damian, don't look so excited. You're only driving at one of the nicer tracks in the US haha.

Didn't know that Fritz has Brads old car. Glad to hear it ended up in good hands.

 

damn, 22 hrs? ouch, but the track does look like a great time

 

what kinda thug dresses like that now adays? Maybe your a 80s thug, you just need a box cut

 

Wow, can't wait to see the vids. Looks like a great time.

 

u crazy...this is my first time at this track, ill be happy with sub 3 minutes LOL hahhaahhah

now fritz, he knows this track well and can drive the wheels off his car, so he can do it im sure.

 

there is not question .... fritz is faster, im not even close....


... but give me another day on this track and he better check his mirrors!!! LOL

(im comin for ya fritz!!!)

 

hashha yeah, its a bad representation of me...ill work on a new pic ;-)

 

im a GAP thug...

 

how much were the fees? do you know how often VIR has track days? im not too far from there and id like to run my car sometime (in the near future hopefully)

 

this was with the audi club, 2 days of FULL course, was like $325 or somthing?

 

The guys spot i took from the waiting list was in the intermediate group, and I was new the the track so the Audi club required me to get 'signed off' to drive alone. Fritz signed me off and both Fritz and Bruce (both instructing here this weekend) got me moved up to the Red group(advanced/instructor). So I got to run with them and got some great video trying to chase Fritz down through a lot of traffic. It was a great session, we both were getting a little crazy, I had a funn little off road-grass cutting trek and got right back in it. I think Andy got it on video while he was trackside and I should have it on my incar cam footage. I'll post somthing when i get time. more pics to come later today too...

 

here are some more pics Andy took:

So you did make it out there. Very cool. Nice pics...can't wait to see those vids too.

 

Man, looks like a lot of fun. What turbo is Fritz runnin again? T-78?
