Here's some videos of my first weekend ever at VIR (Virginia International Raceway). Great track indeed. It really changed my hole perspective on how I drive and how different tracks will teach you so much more to driving. This track really requires smooth inputs throw out all turns and only then you will see how much smoother your car handling characteristics work for you thus more speed beyond what you could imagine.

The track was just resurfaced so many driving lines where changed so even the instructors had to figure them out. So T2. T10, T11, and T12 had changed a lot so I know a lot of time could be made up there. I never really got a got hot lap due to traffic but that's ok. Especially after passing everyone twice in one session. But either way much improvement is needed on my part for smoother inputs.

There not that bad really. It's mostly how well your car can handle. I saw a GTR complete jump one like it was meant to he. Course when you have $12 JRZ. No problem. It didn't upset his car none.

nice driving... be cautious of overtaking at start / finish, you are hanging out at the pit out line, not a great place to be at 100+mph

No doubt. My two instructors wanted me there to keep the wheel straight threw the little dog leg there. It works good but IMO it's still basically straight through there to maintain same speed safely. And entering a hot track they should (key word) stay to the far right. But we all know how that could work. Next time I should be solo there and I'll try some few things.

Love VIR on my bike. We take the sharp right though up the hill after the bridge. The G force is awesome!

Spohn I count around 2:24? That good?

Love that second one with your wheel tucked!

Rusty 03-22-2014 09:14 PM

How does it feel being back behind the wheel again? :D

SPOHN 03-22-2014 11:47 PM

Like a drunken prom date

djtodd 03-23-2014 01:24 AM

It's messy, ends quickly, and everyone is slightly groggy and embarrassed afterwards? :)
