Here is a video from VIR yesterday. This was my second time on the track with the Porsche. Only upgrade was pads...Stock tires were terrible.

Sorry for the delayed start.

That's a really nice vid. For the first one, I was surprised that the sound actually was more than a muffled roar through the whole thing (esp for an external cam, I think). I could hear some engine rev and tire squeal - nice! Sure looks like you can eat up the road really fast - thanks for sharing.

 

That looks like sooo much fun. Can't wait for my classes in September!

 

That looks super fun woow what a track! Where is this place located? Nice driving man

 

Southwest VA, Alton to be exact. Right on the border line of NC.

 

Sorry for the noob questions but do you need a cage or anything to go on these tracks? How much does it cost per day? And is there a speed limit? or is it every man for themselves wreck it and its your bad.

 

Sorry for the noob questions but do you need a cage or anything to go on these tracks?
No. Check the host club rules, but little to nothing is needed wrt equipment. You usually need a tech inspection from the dealer or local shop, often with a brake fluid flush and fill.

How much does it cost per day?
Usually about $200-250, in the form of a $400-500 Sat-Sun

And is there a speed limit?
No. You might get to 150 or so on the right track with some experience!

or is it every man for themselves wreck it and its your bad.
Pretty much yes. Safety is stressed with point-by passing on the straights only, but people do wreck. Insurance is a mixed bag. Sometimes they pay, sometimes the driver pays it all out of pocket.

 

My car was completely stock the first time i went out with it. This time i just had a pad upgrade.

Go to motorsportreg.com and you can see a variety of different events and venues....

VIR is my favorite...great track and great facilities

My old car (88 M3 with swap motor) was a full on track car with a cage, harnesses etc...

Also, there are 3-4 different run groups based on experience and novices will be with an instructor in their car so you will most likely never be put into a situation that's unsafe.

 

Thanks...tires are stock and at least 2 years old.

 

Thanks...its a wonderful place

 

Yes...nice track and very good driving.

Not been there yet. Heading to Watkins glen in a couple of weeks. . A track that people say is also a good one.

Thanks for posting
