Anyone ever go to track days there? How would one go about it?

[maxim_X]

Yes. It is like heaven. I think there are a few track day orgs that run there. I went with cornerspeed.

[DucDave]

I've been several times. A couple times with corner speed. A couple times with the mid Atlantic Ducati orders group. It would be my number one favorite track if it were a little bit closer! Bummer about the Oaktree for sure…

Everybody should experience VIR at least once.

Buy a ride in a Chump car race and see it at 3am too. Triple digits in the pitch dark is unforgettable.

If you want 4 wheel track days there are a couple of BMW and PCA chapters that run there.

My favorite track

Good riddance. The tree was gorgeous right up until you got close enough to see all the gigantic ball bearings (aka acorns) strewn across the track underneath it.

But I digress from the digression . . . VIR does rock.

BTW, thats oak tree turn on the south course. Not sure you rode the south course.

Ya, we did the South course in 2006, remember? That was the year a bunch of us got our race licenses.

That was a rad trip!! Remember EX500's breaking down all over the track & a ZX6 with loose battery terminals almost high siding me to the moon when the bike cut in and out in the 4th gear left on South course
