VIR Test&Tune for Lemons CMP Race
VIR is considering doing a South Course Test and Tune for the Feb. 24HR of Lemons CMP race. It would be $150 per car for the day, open track. They need at least 15 cars to have the event, so if interested please call Kevin Massey Shaw at 434-822-7700 x104. The tentative date is 2/11/11 on a Friday.
Full safety gear and Lemons/Chump Cars would only be allowed. If you do not think the car would pass the Lemons tech then do not assume it would pass the VIR Tech Inspection

Just to make sure I am reading this right...
Does that mean the car needs to be at a 100% complete level for Lemons/Chump? Our car is complete enough to enter HPDE's but we haven't put in the cage, kill and fire extinguisher yet.

If you have gutted the car and pulled the glass out I would highly recommend you have a roll cage anyway before going out on the track. To answer your question, no we would not allow a car like that to run just for the very reason that we would want to make sure that somebody has all of the proper safeties and safety gear in place and working. Trying to set this up as a "shakedown" for the cars so people might get more of the experience at the event.

Well another update 
due to about 6 cars canceling yesterday for this event we will have to postpone it until later in the season. I apologize to those that wanted to be there.

Why not go to CMP?
All is not lost!
As always, CMP (Carolina Motorsports Park) has a track day the Friday before the LeMons race.
Why not practice on the track you'll be racing on? I bet they even have sessions set aside for Lemons racers. You know, sessions that run the LeMons (west track) configuration!
I love VIR. It's a great track. But think about it, why test on one track, then drive four or more hours to race on an entirely different track? Instead, come and stay in lovely Camden S.C. all three days. Call (803) 475-2448 and sign up for the Friday CMP event. They'll even tell you what are the most popular hotels to stay at.
And no, I'm not employed by CMP. It just happens CMP is 18 miles from my house...
