Default Anyone know about the ALMS Race at VIR this weekend???

Been away for a few weeks and came back to find no chatter on the biggest race in the history of the mid Atlantic??

Should be EPIC??? I went to the testing session a few months ago and the times those drivers were getting were amazing?? and that didn't include the teams that were prepping to go to LeMans.

Plus PorschePlatz will be there in full force with driver meetings, seminars etc...

Porscheplatz is free for PCA members. The tickets they sell are for parking your Porsche in the corral.

I've been to two great ALMS races this year - LRP and Baltimore. VIR should be so much fun, I'm jealous of you guys!!

Bah! Real life... Sorry to hear that.

I'll be there tomorrow working with an F2000 driver, then to Road Atlanta (with two 2-liter 911 racers).

Will watch VIR online!
