Is anyone going to VIR with TrackDaze in 2 weeks?

What's the difference between the Patriot course and Grand course?


It took a while but I convinced them to let me in. Hopefully with no instructor since I have not needed one for a while. The list is only available to be seen by people that signed up through motorsportreg.com.
As far as email's: I had the same problem. Long time between replies.

Well it wasn't a terrible weekend at VIR. I will not attend another PCA event. Only 3 27min sessions/day. Spend most of the day sitting around. Got to meet another S2000 owner, Victor, with a really clean yellow s2k. Also met another S2k owner who was there with his Boss mustang but can't remember his name. Outside of having limited track time it was a fun weekend.
Hoping to go back for the chin event in October. 3.5hrs track time/day!!

Was there a large attendance?

It was not a large turnout. I have never been to this event but people that have been before say it is usually very crowded.

The lack of track time is frustrating/troubling especially if you say there wasn't a large turnout. Was it poorly managed?

Pete, that was me! Seeing how fast your car was in the corners pushed me over the edge and I will be selling the Boss and tracking the S2K. There are other reasons (cost being a big one) but you definitely showed me how fast a relatively lightly modded S could be. I will miss having a 444hp V8, but I'll deal with it. I won't miss the monthly payment, or replacing the rubber.

I'll be at VIR for NASA's Oktoberfast on Oct 12-13th, and I might try to make it to the Sunday Chin session.

I think the part I disliked most about the PCA event was three sessions each day for three days. I'd much rather do 4 events over two days like the last event I went to (trackdaze.) Sure you get one more session with PCA, but I had to take a day off work for that. Plus they wouldn't let the S2K guys drive with the tops down. It was a beautiful weekend, so that's really lame. If NASA has the same rules, I'll put the hardtop on the car before I drive out.

Track rules at VIR (not organizer) dictate that convertibles running top down had to use arm restraints. I borrowed some and they annoyed me so much that I'll run my hardtop at track events from here on out.

We were just at VIR in June for a TrackDaze event and they did not require arm restraints for the top to be down on the S2000.

InsaneSp 09-09-2013 01:14 PM

That's odd. One of the VIR staffers pointed it out to the chief steward while I was in earshot that all convertibles required them, even if running top up. Per the organizer tech sheet, they were only specifically required if you planned to run top down. Maybe this guy wasn't at your event, or TD carries different/more insurance? No clue.
