There's one in May with the Alfa club. I've run with them previously, and they are a great group:

================
The Mid-Atlantic Alfa Romeo Club announces that registration is OPEN for:

"Back to Our Roots - Small Bore Driving School"
Virginia International Raceway – NORTH Course
May 17-18, 2008
Run Groups: Instructor, Advanced, and Intermediate (completed two or more previous 2-day HPDE events).
(There will not be a Green beginner run group).

Each run group will receive three on-track
sessions each day with each session running approximately 25 minutes.
After enthusiastic reception of each of the last two years’ events, we will repeat our Small-Bore theme. To reduce speed differentials occurring at the ends of long straightaways, we will limit Student cars to engines with nominal displacements at or below 3.5 liters (just the ticket for that 350Z). (Please note that there is no displacement limit for Instructor cars).

We will be sharing the track (in separate run sessions) with the Vintage Sports Car Club of America (VSCCA). Enjoy sharing the paddock with historic race cars and watch them run in between the HPDE run sessions.

Online Registration powered by MotorsportReg.com:

Non-member Student $310
Member Student $295 (AROC, MAARC, Tarheel Sports Car Club, Triangle Z Club, 02 Group)

I'll be driving with THSCC the weekend before this so if my car stays healthy I might stay for this one as well

Also my track video link is dead in the water. If anyone can salvage it please let me know

I'm signed up for the CDC (http://capitaldrivingclub.com/) April event and the TrackDaze (http://trackdaze.com/) May event, both at Summit Shenandoah. I plan to sign up for NASA at Main in June as soon as it opens. I know a lot of you guys don't like Shen. but I take what I can get. VIR is a long haul without a tow vehicle/trailer but I'll try to make it down there at least once this year.

I finally drove the Shen in one of BSR's Caprices. I can't imagine ever taking my RX7 there. A miata maybe.

I really enjoy it. With my car making stock power on original suspension and street tires, I can decimate 500hp mustangs and 'vettes all day long. It really favors the lighter cars with proper handling, whereas I feel that at VIR, power is king (not that I have anything against VIR, I love it too). I guess with my particular setup, or lack thereof, it's appealing to me that I can really hold my own against cars with twice the power because there's nearly 20 turns in 2 miles. I can't imagine driving it in one of those beater Caprices though ::shudder::.

We'll be at the Track Daze event, but I'm not driving - my wife is doing that event in her RX8. I liked the track but i agree with ptrhahn, my car is just a tad much there - it's great in the 8 though.

I'll be at the THSCC event at VIR april 4th/5th. Should be fun! BTW, today is the last day to register if anyone else wants to go.

ptrhahn

Fritz,
You should just set up your own channel on YouTube... then it wouldn't take a half hour to download your 80mb videos!!

SPICcnmGT

I feel your pain, we have some quick turbo miatas around here. Good luck to you too!!

iTrader: (6)

yeah, i don't have nearly as many as fritz, but i did the same thing because it was taking so long to upload/download my vids.


I gave up on Audi VIR and decided to just register for the Track Daze event at Shenandoah with my wife in May, so I have to wait another month before getting on track.

I've got that one on my laptop hard drive. It's a Hall of Famer. I watched it a bunch of times before the event we did in MAY.

Fritz Flynn

iTrader: (263)

Hall of Famer , Thanks man!

I need to upload the one from the KB days when I'm following the red mustang and driving at about 9 10nths, lifting on the both straights and still running 2.07s on cheap Dunlops That car was frikken FAST!

Fritz Flynn

iTrader: (263)

That car was making close to 600 at the wheels and everytime I'd try to pass he'd just walk away so I was gettin a tad CRACKY!

Renesisfury

Man alive Fritz, get those other videos on youtube!
