Virginia International Raceway in Danville, Va - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Lance. Summit Point is also a great track. Facilities have really been updated and it is a track that will provide all of the challenges you will want to find. I certainly hope that if you attend a track day that you are at least changing your brake pads from stock to a bit more aggressive compound. Stock pads will give out quickly and limit your ability to learn by reducing how agressive you can drive after just a few laps. I instruct up at Summit Point for various clubs and organizations. If you would be interested, I could let you know if an event was scheduled that you would enjoy. I got my SCCA competition license at VIR. Great track no matter which configuration they run it. I prefer the full course over the grand as the braking from "oak tree" on the full course will certainly get your attention. Lance, I would suggest if you have not had much track time that you would consider attending an AUTO-x . Every student that I have instructed that routinely auto-xed their cars seem to have better car control. Auto-xing really allows you to hang the car out at safe speeds and almost always demonstrates understeering and oversteering at reasonable speeds that you can safely correct. Just a thought.
