Thanks, Art. It is a race-car course that the motorcycle folks use occasionally. |

Dave:
You'll notice most of those pictures were of motorcycles. I would make darn sure that the course is 4 wheel orientated. On bikes, the lines, entrances, exits, etc. are slightly different, and you'll need to make adjustments. There have been very few guys who've made the transition, so you're better off with a car guy. Have fun.

I'm pretty sure someone more advanced will reply as I've been there only once. I hope you are doing the full course it's a blast with really fast sections, the downhill section is fun, my braking by the Oak tree left much to be desired I'll work on that next time I go there.
If you haven't seen it yet and as a picture is worth a 1000 words I found some pics/video for a lap there

I have decided to take a racing school at VIR right after Labor Day, and wondered if any folks here who have driven it (I have not) could offer any tips/suggestions/"line" hints, etc.
Thanks in advance,
