Nice video Brian. There are only a few areas where I have a slightly different line than you. Turn 1 especially. Also, just curious, but it didn't sound like you were on the gas much during the climbing esses. Were you coming in hotter than expected or just playing it safe with your tire combo? I need to get back out there again.

The video quality stinks... going to have a 2nd go at editing it tomorrow night. Turn 1 you want to turn in late to apex it later so you can get in the throttle sooner.... a few times my line is off due to passing.

The car is faster than it looks in the esses.... it's entering the lower esses at near 130 and it's a bit over 110 at the top. The car will only do so much on 275s w/o any aero. Plus these are scrub Hoosier R6s getting up there in heat cycles (over 12 at that point).

Car ran 2:10s, but should have a good bit more time in it after I get more seat time and get used to the smaller tires and no aero.

looks like fun! is that a full VIR run in your vid? would like to try it sometime, im sure id have to take it easy and get used to the track and stuff since i've never done it before. ( watch vids of people sliding into walls in a nice car and wouldnt be so fun sliding into something in the vette)

That's VIR full course... which is the "normal" configuration. They have it setup so you can run North Course, South Course, Patriot Course, or Grand Course... my two favorites are Full and Grand East.

It's a blast... when you're new you'll start in the beginner groups and have an instructor guiding you the whole time.... you also have classroom sessions each day. They don't just let you out on track w/o any guidance.
