Feb.21, US DRIFT DAY @VIR

It's official US Drift day in Feb @ VIR
US Drift is holding a one day event at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) on February 21st. Here are the details and requirements. This is NOT a competition!

VIR has recently completed their new Patriot Course which sits inside the famed “big” track. US Drift ran a demo on the Patriot Course last fall and it is a track that is a ton of fun as it offers high speeds, technical areas and elevation changes. The event is taking place on Saturday and the first session will hit the track at about 9 AM. After a day of driving US Drift and the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) are throwing a free party with food and beverages for all the drivers and their crew. Camping is allowed however expect VERY cool weather. There are a number of hotels in the area and many with cheap rooms.

There are only 30 spots open for this event and drivers must have previous experience; track days, drift events, autocross, racing, driving/race school, etc. The cost of the event is $100.
The 30 drivers will be broken into groups of 10, each group will run for 20 minutes at a time. There will be a one hour lunch break and the track will close at about 5 PM. This means that each group will get 7-20 minute sessions on track, about 2 ½ hours of total track time. Each group and driver will run for a constant 20 minutes, the ENTIRE circuit will be used. No stop and go, the sessions are open.

Spectators will only be allowed if they are part of a drivers crew.

AGAIN, space is limited! If you would like to run in this event you must contact Mike DeFord to verify experience, he can be reached at 804 275 8399 or email him at [email protected]

I'm intersted..

What exactly is the Patriots course? I've been to VIR 3 seperate weekends, and never heard of that?

Also, as an FYI - NASA is running an HPDE, and an Enduro that weekend on VIR Full course, so there will be plenty of cars to see, and people to meet.

http://www.virclub.com/pages/trackInfo/main_course.htm

basically its a track inside the track now...this way we can run at the same time as the main course and not interfear.

turns: 8.9.10.11.2.3.4.5.6.6a.7-7 ( there's another road there not on the map yet).

there is a lot more turns than it seems...i think it was about a mile around.
