How to get started at VIR?

That's actually a deal for as much track time as you'll get on Friday,

True, thats $484 for 3 days of track time, but with my past experiences, if I run my car all Friday it will never make it through the rest of the weekend. For some reason my SE-R uses up an ignition system everyday, if not every session. I'll end up spending $169 on NGKs Saturday night.
Speaking of, I just got it home tonight to start ripping it apart. It hasn't run right in over a year. Hopefully it will be back to running on all 4 all the time at VIR. I tried blowing it up at Shenendoah and it just kept taking more abuse.

When does the sign up for open practice end?
I am trying to stretch my $.
VIR trackday ... it's like crack ... only good for you.
A guy with a nice RX8 took this video of last weekend. MazdaDrivers event Grand East VIR.
This was the last session of the weekend.
He was following me for a long time.
They combined Group C and D.. so there were a few hold ups here and there. But overall a shit ton of fun.
(and yes.. i know i screwed up some corners
)

I race with nasa but did schools with www.chinmotorsports.com and carguys inc. I would choose chinmotorsports over car guys though.

LOL it takes way longer than 10 track days for most people to get to the "comp school or instructor school" decision. You've just got natural skillz
