NASA Time Trial at VIR

Well, I went to my first ever autocross/low speed time trial at Virginia International Raceway's Patriot course, 1.0 mile long and is the link between the North and South course. Holy crap, was it AWESOME! I had to change the front tires to BFGoodrich g-Force Sports because of hitting a pot hole three weeks before (the fronts were on the rear when it was hit, so left rear got weakend and put a "bubble" in the sidewall). They seemed to help a little, they grip more than the old Continetals. It started snowing, but it didn't stick. The track got wet, made for some interesting driving and the drifters that were practicing sure had a rough time. But I loved it! I'll post pictures when I can get a chance to tonight and sorry it's been so late reporting.

I'll be 15 on Feb. 18th, so buy me a drink! (Hint: Don't look at it as the decimal number. <smirks>)

The pictures

Here they are, sorry again about them being so late. The last picture is of how bad it started to snow, but, again, it never sticked.

No, that was actually my first time running a road course, let alone an autocross/time trial.
