I've been using motorsports.reg for my events for a while....wish you could do a search for just a specific track and see the calender there though.

Beautiful day here at VIR! looks promising. New track for me and a new car so I'm a bit nervous honestly.

Dan you're going to love it! The track seems simple but it has some very technical sections that really demand your respect. The most incidents happen through turns 3,4,5, and 6 for some reason.

I had a blast, I got to see Evice's car on the track (although I wasn't sure if it was him at the time) - VERY fast, I only could only creep on the straights unlike most E36's where I'm much faster. Plus my good friend was his instructor so I know he had a good line . I thought my inaugural VIR / E46 M3 track weekend went well for running the stock suspension and street tires. I definitely scared the hell out of the Oak Tree corner worker by drifting through the top of the brake zone all the way to the gators after Oak Tree... HAHA! I was able to get a sign off for blue solo on Saturday, then white solo for my last run on Sunday. Shame though, I didn't stay to do my last run because I would have gotten home 7 hours later than I did.


No pictures from the weekend, I'm debating on whether or not I want to drop $25.00 for 10 pictures.....................

Also, I took a video of my run by mounting a GoPro to my helmet, and let's just say the Video quality is less than stellar. I thought it was an awesome idea, then when I got home and unloaded the video, you mostly see my headliner and sunlight through the windshield..... you can see the track when I'm making right-hand turns or when I'm passing people. It was during my check-ride for white.... I will post it tonight though.

Here is my last session video. It is a bit boring 1st half due to traffic, but then opens up. Don't miss 10:55 timestamp, some fun

Anyone doing the Sept. 3 day event? I watched a few videos of the South course... I'm not sure I can justify driving 5 1/2 hours (and $400.00) for 2 days of South Course and only 1 day of full course.... thoughts please..

oh and I'll have my AST Coilovers next time

First Settlers PCA. I only run with the PCA because their events provide a lot of track time for the price. I've found BMW CCA to be minimal track time compared to the price, but maybe that's just the Southern region.

Got a direct link? I'm not finding to much here at work..things are blocked...

From what i've found, the times i've been out with cca is their track time was pretty equal with other orgs. The Tarheel and NCC chapters run great events.
