Have you ever dreamed of 3.27 miles of banked and flat, off-cambered asphalt? If you have this event is just right up your alley. Virginia International Raceway, VIR, is close to the pinnacle of race tracks with 17+ turns. Nestled in the hills east of Danville, Virginia you will find a 4,000 foot straight, high speed esses, and the famous oak tree. The National Corvette Museum is pleased to bring you the first NCM HPDE of 2008.
The school is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, June 30 th – July 1 st, 2008. In keeping with our past practice of providing extensive support for beginners, we will have two “novice” sections, one for absolute beginners and one for those who have now done a few events, along with intermediate, advanced and instructors groups with room for a total of 125 students (not counting instructors). Students must drive either a coupe or fixed top Corvette; convertibles are only permitted if they have an SCCA roll cage. The price will be $440 for members and $490 for non-members. Non-members will receive a one-year NCM individual membership with their payment. There is no charge for instructors and they will receive a shirt and track time. All students in the beginner, novice and intermediate level will have classroom instruction and will be accompanied by an instructor in their car while on track. Advanced students will be checked out for possible solo status.
Tech and check in will be at the HQ hotel on Sunday, 2-5 pm. A brief Drivers’ meeting will be held at 7:00 pm along with a meet & greet for students and instructors. There will be minimal time for handling registration and tech on Monday so late arrival can significantly delay your track time. Mandatory downloadable drivers’ classification forms and packages with details on tech preparation, event schedule, hotels, routes and maps and other necessary information are available at the bottom of this page. Immediately after registration fill out and return the classification form. All registrants will be placed on a VIR listserv for us to send information and event updates.
The VIR Banquet will be at the Lodge and is $30 per person, and is not included in the cost of registration. Please select the dinner for you and if you are bringing a guest you will be able to register for them as well (they cannot order a shirt). If you are an instructor please register using the website as well. Select Instructor run group and your shirt size. If you want to attend the banquet check that as well. If you are bringing a guest follow the same instructions as students above. Final instructor status will be determined by Eventmaster and Chief Instructor.
Last year VIR sold out in less than 2 hours! Don’t hesitate on this event or you may find it closed out, as everyone wants to drive on VIR! Make sure when you do register that you select your proper run group and shirt size. If you are not sure of your experience level, select the lowest one that fits your skills, we will be adjusting placements closer in to the event but we must have some idea of your experience to begin with.
