The Event in Summary
Out of Oak Tree. The Back Straight lies ahead,
falling then rising again across the magnificent Virginia
countryside.
The sun is warm. The air is cool. The most powerful machine alive awaits your command. The road is yours. Will you take it? |
AT LAST .. we are having another driver training event at VIR South Course!!!!
This is an opportunity to learn more about your car’s capabilities (and yours) on a skid pad and on the road course. This will not be a competitive event. It is a fun event.
To ensure personal attention and adequate track time we have to limit entries to the first one hundred received.
We have booked the track for the whole two days and we expect everyone to use their track time to its fullest. There is also a go-cart track with some very fast go-carts to practice your night driving skills (and to challenge your instructor!) after the day’s activities.
You may enter more than one driver per car – please
see registration application for details of fees.
Please note: the car will be allocated to a run group irrespective of the number
and/or experience of the drivers.
If there are some ladies who would like to take part, we will gladly arrange a group to accommodate them.
Registration and early Tech will begin on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. in the parking area at the Sleep Inn & Suites hotel. A light meal and refreshments will be provided.
Upon receipt of entries we will mail a confirmation packet to you that will contain the Tech Sheets and a Schedule of events.
Please contact Dennis or Mark at (704) 647-9924 with any questions.
Hope to see you there!!

The Track - Virginia International Raceway
Virginia International Raceway is one of the premiere road course facilities in the country. It is in high demand and is booked almost year-round. We are very fortunate to have acquired a balmy Spring weekend. We will be on the South Course again. The 1.65 mile South Course has 8 turns, a 2300 feet straight-away, and 80 feet in elevation change.
VIR is located just east of Danville, Virginia. Danville is on US 29 on the North Carolina/Virginia border. VIR is centrally located on the East Coast and is accessible to owners from as far away as New England, Florida, and the Mid West in a single day's drive.
For directions, see the VIR Club web site. Directions are after the hotel accommodations on the same page. Just scroll down.
Check back later for a downloadable Tech Inspection Form. See Adobe Reader for requirements.
Your roll bar must pass the “broom stick” test. Taller roll bars are available if you need one. If you need a taller roll bar, call the Olthoffs at 704-647-9924 right now and schedule it. See Taller Roll Bar for more information. Or check Second Strike Volume 5 Number 2.

There is a late registration fee of $50 for registration received after 4/27/2007. We don't want your money! We just want you to register early! Late registrations foul up the works.
Due to the high cost of track rental and insurance, the entry fee is non-refundable.
Track Event
In order to provide everyone with plenty of track time and plenty of space on the track, registrations will be limited. When the spaces are gone, they are gone. So register early.
