Cheap entry level seat time @ VIR

[zooyork155]

NASA offers a relatively cheap option for novices to get a feel for motorsport called a "Hyperdrive". It's basically a single session of laps (~20mins which is ~6laps) with an instructor plus classroom instruction for $50. There's one being offered on the 24th of July. I'm going and just trying to drum up some more interest in track time within NCDUBS.

I'll be up there early Sat morning and will probably stay until 3-4. I'll be on track at noon.

I wish I could do this. Have fun!

[zooyork155]

That was probably the most fun I've ever had in my car!

Here's a hot lap from one of the instructors in his 1.8t swapped Corrado. All I know is it's a gt30 and he's got a dahlback intake manifold.

I have a video of my session but compared to this it would bore you to sleep.

According to my video, my best lap was ~00:03:09s.
For reference, the Corrado lap I posted above was ~00:02:09s.
I'm going back on Monday, 9-27 with one of the Porsche Club chapters. If anyone wants to come check it out, let me know.

ncbrock and I are both signed up to do the $50 hyperdrive this year. Any one else want to actually drive their VW? :D

Is that the July 22-24 event ? link says 11

[zooyork155]

Yes, the 22-24th. The Hyperdrive portion is held on Saturday the 23rd.
The web address must be referring to July 2011.

You going to bring the M?

[zooyork155]

There's only 16 cars signed up (https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0AtO5TecrDcGQdGVCV2p0RFViYm45VnNYZXMtd24xWHc&output=html) for the hyperdrive so far. No one else sign up so I can have more open track to play with :D
