Default Just registered for VIR in February

The website http://www.nasaracing.net/trackday/index.shtml says online registration is not yet available...but... I went to their online registration area http://www.timingroom.com and I was able to register for the event. Basically, if anyone is interested it seems that you can register for VIR in February, now.

I think I beat you all to that sign up sheet, I filled it out over a month ago.

I'm just hoping I have the time off from work to go? ?

Is this event just a HPDE?

This is what the website says:
NASA-VA will be holding a High Performance Driving Event (HPDE) as well as SCCS, PARRC, ECHC, and American Iron racing events.

Are these "racing events" the Valentine's 300 mile/four hour enduro with these classes participating?

Thanks

Bbasso, you have to register for event and not just create a logon name..

The weekend seems to be an HPDE for two days and a race also.

I registered too David...... I have been waiting for this event since September, about 10 minutes after I drove out of the VIR pits.
My only concern is how will they have HPDE while there is a 4 hour enduro race going on at the same time?

No. The 'event' will have the HPDE along with the various racing classes during the same weekend.

So will this HPDE have the SAME track time like a normal HPDE event?

Thanks

I am thinking Watkins Glen in June with the NY Chapter of BMWCCA. I will just have to become a member in January.

I was hoping that Summit Point would be in August/September.

But looking at some of this past years calendars, i think the following schedule will work:
Feb = VIR with NASA Virginia
Apr = Beaver with ITR Expo
May = Watkings with NASA (NY Region)
June = Summit Point with NASA Virginia
Fall = Limerock with NASA (NY Region)

Willard,
A lot of what is said there is valid about track time.

My take on things is that about four 15min - 20min sessions is the most I want a day. I still feel like I had fun and by the fourth session I am usually fatigue and feel lucky to still have my car in one piece.

This VIR schedule with the race will be fun. It is fun to watch racing. Yes, $300 may be steep for about 150 minutes of track time over two days. ($2/min), but I spend about $6/min autocrossing ($35/6 minutes) + having to work the course. So, track days are a bargain for me !

Willard,

Yes it is... but when I am shitted out of my last session on Sunday at VIR I don't take it well.... that is why I directed you to that thread.

The last session of the weekend is 'my' time.
-my students are done
-the track has less cars on it

Fatigue does not effect my driving at all.... matter of fact the longer I drive the better I feel.

I am use to getting 3 ~30 min. sessions a day.
