    Tell me about VIR

    Riding there on Monday! I've only ever ridden at Loudon. I've heard Scottie wax poetic about it and thought I'd get other people's descriptions and comparisons too. Also, any on board YouTube videos you can recommend with particularly good angles of the track from a first-person point of view? Don't know if makes a difference but I'll be in Novice group.

    Haha, I think- I think I might be seeing a common message in these responses here... if I can just put my finger on it...

    What's the Kink? Turns 4-6?

    See you Monday!!

    Re: Tell me about VIR

    Which course are you riding?

    Did the North Course for the Cornerspeed school in a past life. I just remember a lot of elevation changes scaring the piss out of me. The experienced track rats seem to enjoy it, though. I haven't been on any of the other configurations, but I hear some very good things.

    4-6 is the snake

    the kink is on the front straight... just aim for the tree and let the bike drift out to the edge of the track... sets you up for 1

    i think... its been a while

    From under the bridge to the top of the hill is one of my favorite sections of asphalt. Switchbacks over undulating pavement - really, really fun stuff. Enjoy yourself!
