Re: US Drift & NASA autoX @ VIR-Patriot Sat May 6
As you'll see on the event page I linked above:
"This is one day time trial (a higher speed autocross) on a
permanent road course with elevation changes and camber changes.
The course will NOT be slowed-down with cones. Cars will
go on track against the clock at 20-second start intervals."
Edit: As far as I know, there won't be cones out for the drifting either.

Great looks good. I was watching the video and I couldn't get my bearings until it hit me that I have only driven the Patriot course in the other direction ie. grand east, north & south configurations.

LOL yea, it's pretty amazing how versatile that facility has become.
We run Patriot counterclockwise because when the full course is also in use (which it's scheduled to be that weekend), cars will always be traveling the same race direction (never headed toward each other separated only by those concrete barriers.)
It's gonna be fun,
Jon

John,
should I use my race brake pads, or will I be alright with my street ones?
I figure since they'll have plenty of time to cool off I should be alright on them.
