track days at vir next week

[jtower]

fyi there are two groups running HPDEs at vir next week, trackdaze aug 27/28 (thu/fri) and mazdadrivers sat/sun. both are very good groups and would be excellent for beginners as they have good instructor squads.

i'll be there all four days. trackdaze also allows advanced drivers to take passengers so if anyone wants to come up i can probably arrange a ride along with me or another car. c'mon guys, let's drive our cars like go...senna intended!

Thanks for the post.

Yes, a dozen NSX folks or more may park together in the paddock. Be conscientious of gear already laid out in the paddock for those participants that may be on the track and park in empty spots. The paddock is huge, plenty of room.
<o></o>
If your NSX folks arrive before 11:30 on Saturday, they may join in our Parade Laps around noon. Parade Laps allow for interested parties to actually drive their car on the track itself, behind a pace car at normal highway speeds. Helmets are not required and passengers are allowed during Parade Laps.
<o></o>
In the afternoon, I can arrange for Instructors to take out NSX interested parties at speed. Rental helmets are available and long cotton pants are required. Those interested would need to check in at the MazdaDriverS.com awning and sign the insurance waiver.

It used to be that spectators would be turned away on private track events. Individuals would need to say you are a MazdaDriverS participant or it appears VIR may allow additional people in for $10/car. The small fee is something new this year. All entrants to VIR have to sign VIR insurance waiver at the main gate.

All Raleigh area NSX owners, see below the information about track days at VIR and the invitation to participate with the Mazda DriverS. I inquired through Jason about the possible attendance by NSX owners who prefer not to track their cars. As you can see they will accomodate us. For those who do want to track their cars, Dave has provided a link for registering.

FYI, Russ and I attended a similiar event hosted by Mazda DriverS in June and had a great time. We both took our cars out on the track during the parade laps. Jason road shotgun with me and gave me some insight into the track and negotiating the various corners. VIR is a great course.

Let me know if there is interest in attending on Saturday, August 29th and I will organize a caravan up and back. It's approximately a 1 1/2 hour trip through some nice country.
