Default VIR Dec 1 - Danville VA

VIR Dec 1 / Lapping & HPDE
Asphalt Ventures event! On VIR Dec 1 Monday

Our goal is to provide a relaxed and safe track day experience. The size of the event will be limited to allow for plenty of traffic free lapping, and the open time format will let you come and go on your own schedule (except the beginner/novice group.)

For this Asphalt Ventures event, we will be trying something a little different. For beginner and intermediate drivers, or drivers who may not quite meet the qualifications for solo status; we now have two instructed entry options:

1.Beginners/Novices - We have set up a driver's ed style run group just for you! You will have classroom and in-car instruction. There will be at least 4 30-minute track sessions, with an option for a final 45 minute session at the end of the day.

2.Intermediate/Advanced - Those of you who are already comfortable on track, and have a solid grasp of on-track protocols have an option of getting a 1-on-1 in-car coach to work with in the early part of the day. Once you are both comfortable you've met your goals, your coach can sign you off to drive solo the rest of the day. You will be driving during the open lapping sessions.

Advanced solo qualified drivers will have about 5-1/2 hours of track time to choose from. Peter Krause will be leading his famous Course Talks before lunch, then after lunch he will give a seminar on data acquisition and all its benefits. (Please email me ahead if you want/need to share a vehicle for the advanced solo lapping.)
