Type R Spring Track Day - May 24-25, 2025 VIR

[svvitch]

I need to start making more money to buy one of those nice lowering trailers. U haul is not cutting it anymore.?

Yea, I can't start looking. I'll end up buying one. Those aluminum pneumatic tilt setups are pretty slick.

I wonder if we got enough Type R's together, also invite the DE5s, if we could be in our own group?

Use point-by passing on anything straight as passing rules, VIR is huge, so shouldn't be an issue.

That would be cool.

I think if we had the FK8, FL5 and DE5. we could easily get enough for a group

It sounds fun until I am 30 seconds behind you all holding up the line ?

all good! I'm still trying to get my mind right after my big off last year. Just give the point-bys and keep it moving.

We can roll together in the back

We would need to field at least 20 cars to make a legitimate group and have our own session.

I think that could be doable if we are serious about it between the 3 platforms

VIR is huge right, how many cars on track at once? I think we would need a ton of cars. I agree with BigBird though we would need to extend this to FK8 and DE5. But regardless even if we all just show up and do different group will still be fun, maybe we can all go on track at the same time if there is open track at the end, and yes I will be at the back with the point by ready

Wish I could make it, but the next time I'm driving from WA to VA is because someone is forcing me to move back to VA against my will .

Maybe I can come co-drive with someone!

Making a dedicated run group for us means cutting time out of the other run groups. I highly doubt unless we rent the track out ($$$$), no club is going to cut time short for other run groups for us attending their event for us.
Also, there is the issue of experience. Unless we all have similar experience, putting us all together sounds like fun, but is a bad idea.

That group has 4 run groups, they can combine 2 into one. it's possible theoretically.

From my experience, passing rules with varied experiences in one session usually just makes passing on the straights, and in a place as big as VIR, that is fine.

After Pointbypatrol goes out there and let's us know how they feel about something like this, then we can really start planning.

At the end of the day, it's for fun, learning, and hanging out. No one is trying to set track records.

Actually MoE (Motorsports Enthusiasts) does just this for their events at NJMP. You can pay for your own run group. Northeast 86Cup used to do it for their events with them.

It's 4000 for 10 Drivers, and then 377 for each additional driver.

If you are open to running NJMP Thunderbolt instead of VIR -- it's a very easy solution

I got a buddy who set up his own private track day at VIR last month. It's $20k all in for a single day rental.
