If you get there early maybe you can set up camp in the back corner of the paddock near the garages so we can meet up there. I have to work Friday morning then drive over from Atlanta, so I won't straggle in til about 6:00 or so...

Make sure I get your number, I do not know which garage I will have so we will set up near whichever garage they give me.

Also, bring up some sweetwater 420's, if you get a chance

I've recruited a buddy of mine to come up and run and hang out with us as well. See him at RA a lot. He drives a prepped white E36 M3, coming from Knoxville area. Good guy.

Looks like we'll have 180 cars there. Partly cloudy and temp will be in high 80s.

Any suggestions on attire? This is my first ever track day so excuse the questions...

I think they require you to wear long sleeve shirt and pants.

I know my wife would love to go karting but I don't know if i'll be up for it after driving at the track all day..... So, that's a definite maybe.

Pretty psyched!

Tom is a great guy. I had him as an instructor at the Advanced M-School at VIR couple years ago. You will enjoy!

I will be celebrating my Mexican heritage, so count me out!!

[Throtex]

I don't come on here often, but I'm sure I've met some of you at BMWCCA or SCCA events at Summit Point in the past. I'll be there -- first time with Track Daze and first time at VIR for me. I suspect I'll be in the intermediate group w/ instructor so I can learn the course.

See you guys there!
