Default Re: Any interest in a private track day at VIR this winter?

Sounds good.I'll update the list.
Just keep in mind as far as the mountain guys go,that this is serious business,haha.....Most importantly,we don't want anybody to get hurt,but we also don't want to lose track time due to crash clean-up/tow ins.We need to make sure anybody who doesn't normally do track stuff understands that.The track rental will be in my name,so by default I'd be obligated to handle any,for lack of a better term,situations.My vision of this is a bunch of friends getting together to hang out and have fun.Definitely don't want any backroad racers ruining it.
I think anybody will agree that the last thing anybody needs to be doing is getting their first on track experience by going out by themselves and having the freedom to be a complete idiot.There are several places at VIR that will bite you bigtime and tear up a lot of stuff,and all it takes is a little too much confidence or ignorance to fuck up in a huge way.As I said above,I'm willing to help some newcomers,but getting a few minutes of ride-alongs in no way prepares somebody to be turned loose.I really think anybody should do a real HPDE with an instructor in the car the whole time before doing something like this.
