VIR Driving School 30 June

Anyone on this forum going to the Tarheel BMW Club driving School at VIR on Sat-Sun 30 June? [North Course]. I received an e-mail from them a few days ago that said they still had openings in all run groups.... and VIR is a GREAT track !

The Tarheel club driving school link is : http://www.tarheelbmwcca.org/track.html

Yes- the North course is for sure a minus!... I have only done the full course, but since this is my first time on a track with the 1M, I decided to give the North course a try. It might be a little more on the "handling" end vs. the "top speed" end--- that might help with the 30+ M3s that are attending !

Best instructors in any school I have attended. Minus is north course, but quality instruction makes up for it....plus the facilities are top notch.

To be clear, North Course is fun but I did 2 2 hour stints during a 14 hour enduro (e30) just a few months ago so I'm just North Course'd out. 24 hours of full course in August is next!

Dan- understand your point completely.... and good luck in August! I would like to get up there to watch in Aug, but can't seem to plan that far ahead !

I saw that another 1M was registered for the June school and thought we might get a dialog going among those that are attending.

Great!--- I assume you are Instructing.... maybe you can help me figure out how to get around that place!

Looking forward to meeting you, and seeing all the things you have done to that "One-Lap" 1M of yours !
