Default VIR... Fun, Fast and World Class (EXPO 7)

First and foremost i want to thank everyone that attended this year. What an amazing event everyone. Great weather, great people, great memories . IMO there is no doubt that VIR is superior to any track we have held EXPO at. Everything about the facility was just top-notch.

There are way too many names to list, so i will just say that it was great seeing everyone and BIG THANK YOU to all of our INSTRUCTORS. They really stay busy all day out there with you all on track and deserve the recognition. Anton, Kyle, Josh and any last minute fill-ins we thank you so much for cooperation. For years i have said this, EXPO IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE!

Big thanks to mah Poppa Clitz and Uncle Eric for taking the Oak Tree shots during the parade laps, that was a golden opportunity

It's not how you drive your caR, it's how you take a picture of it by a tree...

Man, I had a ton of fun. I can't wait till CMP and next years Expo!!!

You all made this something I will remember for years to come. VIR is defintely a track I will return to one day. The whole track feels like a roller coaster with all the elevation changes!!!

Jon, it was good seeing you again as always.

I had so much fun. I don't think anyone knows exactly HOW MUCH I wanted to drive, and plan on attending the next event to drive.

It looked like a blast.

Yea, I was all over the place the whole time juggling my students and filling in where I could. I also had some early issues with my brakes (spoon calipers + new cobalt pads are a no-go) so I took the rest of my time to get on track as much as possible

What can I say that hasnt already been said. Event ran great, everyone was cool as hell, everythign just was top notch.

The only prob was time just goes by so fast while your there, I didnt get to talk to as many peeps as I would have liked. I felt like I barely saw JonD that jackass

Can anyone get the full res from Jim of ^ that pic and clean it up a bit. I'd love to see what a few of you can do with PS on it.

Thinking I'm going to make a poster of it, if it turns out great!

That's how Jim described it when he told me of the pic and it's also the pic I used to have a T-shirt made of.

When I get around to editing, posting pics, I'll show the T as well.

True, there's a few people I wanted to meet but didn't get to. Did meet lots though. GFK left early I heard, I was asking everyone where the expletive you were.
