NASA's Mid-Atlantic '06 Autocross Championship begins with a time trial/autocross for double points on the 1.1 mile "Patriot Course" at Virginia International Raceway outside Danville, VA on Saturday February 18, 2006.

This event only has ~60 slots open and you can sign up for a single heat (6-8 timed/scored runs) plus an optional additional heat (6-8 timed fun runs.) There will be NO WORK ASSIGNMENTS (NASA is hiring pro cornerworkers/cone shaggers for this event.) Entry fees start at $50 and go up... the longer you wait to sign up.

When you're not autocrossing, you can watch US DRIFT on the Patriot Course as well as a traditional NASA HPDE (driver's ed) and NASA sprint/enduro roadracing on the 3.3 mile full course. Touring laps behind a pace car on the big track will be available during our lunch break for only $10 per car.

Details, pre-registration, Patriot Course maps, videos, and soforth are here:

We hope to see more BMWs in action! ;-)

Thanks and happy holidays,

Jon

Nice, thanks! We'll confirm shortly after dinner. :D

LOL if that kind of weather is forecast (or comes in)... the track gives us a rescheduled date and anyone who can't make the second running... gets full $$$ credit. I will say this is my 5th? consecutive VIR-Feb visit and it hasn't snowed yet (knock on wood) :cool

Thanks again and I hope my M3 is within a few seconds of yours on the results sheet,

Jon

The real question is how bad am I gotta get beaten by joenationwide. I'm gonna say he'll school me by at least 1.5 seconds out there :cool

I can't wait,

Jon

Thread back from the dead for some news.

We'll return to VIR-Patriot for two timed heats (one morning, one afternoon) on Saturday May 6th... in conjunction with US Drift again. Same type of thing we did in February, but hopefully with better weather. :stickoutt
