Default Is Car Guys gonna run the same early special for the VIR full event in Aug?

Hey all,

I remember Car Guys did a special of $500 for the 3 day event at VIR full in August. I didn't have the $$$ last year and promised myself I would do it this year. The event is on there calendar but no mention of the special. Anyone got any info? I'm giddy just thinking about it.

Me too. It's the one track weekend this year that I'm planning on attending. The others, well they may get me there, and maybe not.

Ask Jack (b18cxr) he'll probably know something. Last year, the discount was on their site for, I believe, the entire year -- similar to the way their "packages" are now.

Considering Sat/Sun was full last year I'm not sure what their motivation would be to give a discount. You've probably noticed that all their prices went up this year.

Well, it didn't fill up that fast and the discount was out there for quite a while. I had plenty of time to decide but just couldn't come up with the money. I noticed the packages too but I don't remember this particular discount on the website last year. I had seen it in this forum. I could be wrong though.

They're laid out through the kink in the front straight at 190+ where most of us pedestrian tintop drivers are coasting through at 100-120 without hardly noticing it.

the schedule and price have been out for a while. I'm just waiting for the special that was run last year. It was a VERY good deal.

From http://www.carguysinc.com calendar:

August 15, 16 & 17 - Virginia International Raceway, Danville, VA - $675.00

Thanks Willard!!
