I've done many of them last season in my 4th gen Camaro.

The Formula is a rollin project to get ready for these types of events, though.

I definitly like them better than auto X'n.

Do you belong to N.A.S.A.?

No, not a member yet. I signed up for an event in CA this October.

I was just wondering, do they take out each class by themselves? Or are there all types of cars out racing at the same time? Might seem somewhat annoying to be learning and getting in others way while you are just tooling around the track trying to get comfortable.

How much do they charge out there? It's $140 a day here.

They have 3 classes. Novice, Intermeadiate and Advanced.

Each class goes out by itself.

Out here it's 159 for a day, 279 for a weekend (2-day) event. That's held on a 2 mile 10 turn road course, or at VIR's North Course, that's 2.25 miles and 14 turns.

Just remember the golden rule, "Smooth is Fast". (and always check your mirrors)
