Default For those wondering if the trip to VIR is worth it, sample pic!

I've got a few more pics that I'll post up later, but for now...



Just imagine, 3.3 miles of total heaven. Depending on your car setup, you could see anywhere between 115-130mph through this sequence! You can read more about the track here.

Good pics. The #7 Viper you have a pic of was pretty fast in the straights. Next time try not to lap me again.

I know you're speaking to the Viper owner, 'cause I damn sure was nowhere near catching you

Bryan-

You have IM!

01PYITR-

That's a good point. I still really want to make it to both Limerock AND Mid-Ohio, maybe even Road America. I can say that I drove from North Carolina to Michigan for the ITRexpo at Gingerman Raceway. Gingerman is like a "kiddie track" compared to VIR, no offense

Darn you, Jason! I'd been clean and sober for months, and now I need another fix of up-hill esses. If there's another sequence of turns somewhere that you can carry more speed through, I dont want to know about it.
