Steve, Jason, Trip, & myself had a great weekend at VIR! Here is a sample of the pics. The rest, along with the racer's
diary, have been posted at www.teambodega.com

looks like you guys had a blast! how much does it cost to run your car there?

I had more fun then I have ever had in my car. I got to solo my car in Group 1 and was moved up to Group 2 at the end of the event. I was able to hit about 125mph on the back straight and still was not going all the way to the end of the braking zone. Unreal. My car was a little loose (which really suprized me). I finally felt really comfortable pushing the car hard and being more relaxed.

if i had enough loot. but my finacial status right now isn't sufficient to do road racing seriously yet. i'm trying to make a name out of myself autoxing this year. i would like to hit one VIR event, but i would need a lot of track related upgrades like brakes.

Just bleed the brakes and get some good pads and fluid. Other then that pay attention to the car and don't overdrive it. It is expensive for just the event, about $300 for the event and then the hotel and food.

The reason i said brakes is b/c i have some cheap rotors on there right now, and i'm not sure if i feel comfortable pushing them to the limits the track provides. if i had stock honda ones i'd probably be ok, but i can't even remember what brand they are. i'm thinking of moving up to some powerslots, but same size as stock to keep me in STS. then i'd be more comfortable.

of course, i'd need some track pads, and i plan on upgrading brake fluid soon anyways.
