I guess I'm really behind the ball with this update, but I was waiting on some more pictures from Vadim and they never came.
I hadn't been to VIR is something like 3 years, way back on my F4i. Needless to say I am a completely different racer now, so for all extensive purposes I was learning a new track on a race day. It wasn't my idea of fun.
I started off the day running a session lap time of 2:10 and ended up finishing the weekend with times around 1:50 flat. There was a lot of improvement as the weekend went on.
On a whole, however I wasn't too happy with my weekend. It was blistering hot and I just couldn't stay focused on the race. I was run off the track on Sat in the GT-Lights race by someone who "didn't think I would come to the inside". I ended up landing my shoulder on his bike and trying to push my way through the corner. It didn't work as well as I had hoped.
I did have a personal best finish as I placed 5th in the Am Lightweight Superbike race on Sunday after passing this guy coming into the back section. Vadim managed to get the whole thing in photo form.
VIR on a whole is a great track, a little far away and a little daunting, but a good notch in my CCS racing belt.
