VIR with First Settlers PCA

Ran on the VIR track this past weekend ( May 18-20th) with the First Settlers PCA club, a very friendly group to run with. They had a mix of all types of cars present beyond the expected Porsche's, almost a third of the total were BMW's....... Weather was great, mid 70's and sunny.

Parked next to "Doc" Nolan and his son Dave in the paddock, very friendly people I must say. Doc, ( mister "Von Zoom" ) was instructing another member "LiM3y" that weekend.

I was running in the white group ( intermediate solo) and was pretty new to the track. Here is a video of one of my early runs. I am not getting on the accelerator very fast or hard at turns yet and I need to apex later in turn 5a as I am losing time there. VIR has several tighter turns than the tracks I usually run on so adjustments need to be made by me. Overall, VIR is a very fun track to run on ( love the uphill esses and the roller coaster combination on the backside).

Passed a lot of cars, but it was just my horsepower advantage instead of skill
