I was just wondering if there was any additional information on the joint Drivers' School at VIR in the middle of June...

Course?
Cost?
Registration info/dates?

Since the Summit Point Main Circuit school conflicts with two friends' wedding, the VIR event is probably the first chance I'll get to drive a track other than the Jeff with a BMWCCA school...

Thanks.

The Audi Chapter's calendar says the application will be available in Mid-March.
 
OK, here's the deal. Full Course, $315.00.
Registration should open up March 15. I'll post details as soon the are available.
Sleep Inn will be the host motel. $69.99/night.

The phone number for the Sleep Inn is 434-793-6090. There is a brand new Best Western about 1/2 mile west of the Sleep Inn. It has an indoor pool and workout room, but I don't know if it has Speed Channel like the Sleep Inn.
I don't know the phone number.
 
Best Western

Best Western Windsor Inn & Suites 1292 South Boston Road, Danville, VA 24540, 434-483-5000, There are 74 spacious and well appointed guest rooms available at this hotel that features coffee makers, irons, ironing boards, hair dryers, refrigerators, microwaves, data ports, voice mail, and high speed Internet access in all of the rooms. Amenities on site include an indoor pool, a hot tub, an exercise facility, guest laundry facilities, and a business center. A continental breakfast is served each morning.
 
As Steven said, registration should open by next week, cost is $315 (as long as you get the registration in "on time" - otherwise there will be a late fee). We'll be using the Full Course (3.2 miles - lots of fun).
 
At first, I was a little confused there between the "Full Course" and the "Grand East" (until I saw the mileage difference) -- the prospect of tackling the "Bitch" turn my first time out at VIR didn't seem all that appealing. :icon_omfg

All in all, it looks like a good time (followed, of course, by a 'cool-off lap' by way of I-40 to Oak Island for a week.) :D

PS: how many slots are there, total? (I.E., how hard is it going to be to get in for someone who's never ventured from the Jeff?) :icon_blin

VIR is a great track. Lots of runoff and nice facilities.
Bitch isn't as bad as it seems although we won'tbe using it.
Run groups can easily accommodate 40 cars. There are 3 passing zones, sometimes 4 depending on the school. We will probably use the normal 3.
 
Any Updates?

I take it that details aren't yet available in a finalized fashion, since there still isn't anything on the Audi or MBC sites, either?

I'll be finishing up the website in a day or two then need to be sure the registration process works for our registrar.
 
Woohoo!

Thanks.

(While I'd love to stick around for the Mazda school - I've got a beach house waitin' for me in Long Beach, NC, starting on the 18th. I'm also going to miss out on the SPMC NCC school - a couple of close friends are getting married in Chapel Hill on the 25th.)
 
We are staying at the track at least 3 days. This way my wife won't have to be stranded at a hotel or wake up early. It will be a little getaway for her.
