Video: VIR Grand East with Mazda Drivers

[AlohaC5]

Had a good time at VIR this past weekend on the Grand East course!

The weather cooperated both days even though we had a heck of a storm blow through Saturday evening - no electric and canopies being tossed all over.

Great event with Mazda Drivers - now if only they would let the Advanced Group pass anywhere with a point-by.

Here's one lap around this beautiful course. Mike

Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing.

I'll be VIR end of this month for the NCM HPDE, and your video gives me a great preview.

Zip, Glad the video helps. Looking forward to meeting you at VIR in a couple weeks. Come up to "Corvette Hill" and say, Hi. Fun bunch of drivers - we have a great time during the day - and especially after the sessions are complete each day. Mike

Getting really excited about the HPDE next weekend. Leaving home on Saturday. Car has been safety checked and I'm counting down the days.

Mike .,.. I just posted up on NVCC thread on event ... I assume "the other Mike", Jack, and Ralph will be holding court on "Corvette Hill" ... you know anyone else coming - Curt mebbe?

Mike Sarver, Ralph Watts and Jack McAfee will at be on the "Hill" for the NCM VIR event. I'll be parked with them and believe Curtis Judge will be there as well.

I'm trying to locate Ralph Watts to return a pair of glasses he "lost" in my car at VIR in June. If you have contact information for him please contact him and ask that he email me at: Rotary13b@RotaryDiagnostics.com with a mailing address so that I can return the glasses.

TIA

Mike,
Thanks for posting up the video. You're a long way from Hawaii these days, eh? I'll be headed that way next summer for my next assignment as well. VIR is a beautiful track. Can't wait to have that in my backyard.

That was an awesome lap, and a great sounding car.

I aspire to one day have driving skills like that!

Thanks guys - VIR and the Grand East Circuit is my favorite track and circuit configuration! If you're in the area - Mazda Drivers is the club that typically hosts that particular HPDE event.
