"Track Report"

On April 23/24th, I had the great opportunity to drive at the legendary
Virginia International Raceway (VIR). This 3.2 mile long course is known to be one of the top road courses in the United States. After 2 days of fun-filled laps I can now see why this track is such a favorite among drivers. The weather was beautiful and dry, and the Audi Club succeeded in making a fun, well-organized and safe event.
Each turn at VIR presents its own challenges, yet is very rewarding when done right. "FAST" is definitely a one-word description for this beautiful course. I was able to get just a little over 130mph on the back straight. I could go on and on about VIR.
However, if you want to see what a lap around VIR feels like, check out the video page and make sure you put on your helmet!

I LOVE VIR!!! I'm hoping to be able to get there again this year, BMW Club is having an event there in June along with Mercedes and Audi clubs. You planning on going to that one? It's called Marque Madness.

I'll probably go with the Audi club again in November. Won't make Marque Madness.
