June 16 & 17 @ VIR (NCC + Audi + MB) Info?

Sorry -- my parents live between Durham and Roxborro -- about 40 mins away.

Lord knows, I spend enough on the 6er -- I need to find some way to save cash. :D
 
The VIR Lodge is even better :) On-Site, nice HUGE TVs.

Wake up 5 min before driver's meeting, head down and drive. Its pretty sweet.

I'm staying there because my wife is coming down with me. This way she is not stranded at the Sleep Inn or has to wake up at 7:00 am. It makes it easier for me to do a 4 day school. ;)

That was meant as a BF.c joke for Eric :)

But at least you can convince your wife to come...got any pointers?

My strategy is as follows: 1) Take separate cars so she is not stranded while you are at the track. 2) Find a nice bed and breakfast, Inn, or hotel to stay at. 3) Take her out for a nice dinner somewhere and make the time you spend with her "romantic".

This makes the whole trip into a nice weekend getaway for the both of you. It works every time. It may be more expensive than staying at the Motel 6 and going out for Pizza, but as they say "you have to pay to play".
 
Even more romantic is bringing a pizza and six-pack back to the room at the Sleep Inn and watch Speed Channel.

That is great if you can get away with it, but I am not sure that would work with my wife ;)
 
Pizza

speaking of pizza, the pizza at the little place called Aunt Millies in Milton is really good. Give it a try, if you haven't yet.

Convertibles at an NCC event?

If I"m interpreting correctly, this event is being run on BMWNCC's insurance. I notice that convertibles ARE being allowed with a hardtop and rollbar for this event. How come the exception this time? Is this a sign of things to come?

It is not a sign of things to come. Not allowing convertibles is a decision made by the driving school steering committee. I agree with them but it is not my decision. This event is a little different because it is a joint event. Audi and M-B allow convertibles.
 
I understand that the confirmation for this school is not until other schools are complete, but is there anyway to know what the possibility is of being accepted? The listing says 35 drivers from each club, and a posting dated April 13th notes that 39 applications had already been received. Does this mean that my registration mailed around April 20th was too late? I’m just trying to schedule other events which fall right around the time of this one - but had this as a high priority as I already missed the Tar Heal event there in March :(.

We are not limiting to 35 per club. We need to fill the school. Entries will depend on the number of instructors we have. I think we are iin good shape. Anyone who has sent in their money should be in.
