thats awesome. i love that they have a corner called "bitch". i cant wait to get up there and check it out.

 

That is way cool! Just when you thought you knew a track, they make it bigger. I better start feeding the hamsters some extra vitamins.

 

Actually it looks to me it makes it more of a handling track than it was before. I think weaker hamsters have a better chance now.

 

That is the coolest thing I have ever seen. I only wish I were rich and lived closer to VIR. Damn that's a long drive.

 

Hey guys, during the Grand Am weekend Oct 2-5 I got the pleasure of running on the new patriot circuit. USDrift was running a demo that weekend and during racing down time we got to run and drift on the new course. It is awesome with some great elevation changes, and depending on which direction you run, there's some really fun downhill S's that turn into an almost Laguna Seca-esque corkscrew with a long left hand sweeper at the end. In my AE86 corolla with barely 100hp I was in 3rd for the whole track once i got to speed and if i had grip tires in the rear it could be run in 4th. From what I was told we were the first cars to run on it. What an honor that was. Randy Probst even came out to play with us. The track is super fun and we are actually bringing a competition to it next year. You have to check it out though, if you like elevation change and turns over crests, its a blast.

 

Thats what I was thinking. Looks like fun. Can't wait to give it a try. Thanks for posting this info. I think we are lucky to live so close to such a wonderful track. Now we have 3 courses on one track that are somewhat different and fun (north course, old full course, this new full course).

 

how much does a regular track day cost out there???

 

Get some tires and rims first.................................

 

Track days are usually about $300 to $500 a weekend more or less. depending on who you go with or what it involves. Those are pretty much the bottom line for school type events for anything resembling a novice. If you have been around for a while you can find ways to get laping days with no instruction for less, but as a beginner you are not going to be able to be involved in those.
