Does anyone know how late arrivals are handled at VIR paddock suites?

I believe the gate is manned 24hrs/day. If not there is a phone number to call.

I think what Steven meant to add is that the security people at the track gate will have your lodging information and key. I think.

It looks like I'll be able to make it there by tomorrow morning I am very excited to have the chance to see so many old friends at one place.

Cheers,

Good seeing you again.

I was the last out of the paddock.
When swapping tires I thought my track pads where down to the backing plate so I replaced them with my streets. I didn't want to ruin my rotors.
Turned out I had enough to get home, but diffidently not enough for another session.
All 4 tires showing some cording. Time to call Paul.
Took a shower and had dinner with Bob Hammond and some 2 MB guys at the Tavern then went home.

Thinking about 2 days with Track Daze followed by 2 days with Tarheel in August.
Going to depend on tires.

Nice weekend despite the heat. Thanks Raf and Woody.

Superb event, I really liked the format, rain stayed away, lots of track time, it was well worth driving down the previous night.

Great seeing everyone too, loved the whole thing. Thank you for having me at the last moment.

It was a great event despite the oppressive heat. No incidents except for one car backing into another in the paddock. I want to thank chief instruct Rafael Garces for the great job, and the other NCC instructors that were able to work in these conditions: Bob Hammond, Doug Bonner, Fatih Seleker, Glen Speakman, Greg Lindsay, John Hartge, Neil Simon, Roy Morris, and Sunir Ghosal. Any I finally got to meet Tommyboy!
Next year we might try to get dates that don't conflict with the Montreal GP.

Had a great time this week with my favorite old NCC folks. I hope to see you guys again at Summit in August.

Be nice if it could be before a weekend event and make it a 4 day for some.
I wonder how many people might have come if MazdaDrivers hadn't cancelled?

[woodym3]

We've never had a real feel as to how many did Marque Madness because they would also do the Mazda event, or how many skipped Marque Madness because they could do the Madzda event on the Grand couse and not have to take a couple of days off from work.
