Title: Camping at VIR
Post by: cbrf4_269 on April 02, 2003, 01:12:08 PM
Just called the people at VIR and they just notified me that camping is permitted Thursday night for racers during the race weekend April 12-13.  They have recently changed it.  Just letting all the racers know who are planning on going to VIR.

Yes, for those who intend to camp at VIR, a change with new management is that the gate will no longer be open all night long. Gate hours will be 4PM to Midnight Thursday, then re-open at 7AM to 10PM Friday and Saturday, then Sunday 7AM to 7PM. Gate fees will remain $25 for the weekend, $15 on Sunday. For those who pay the Gate fee on Friday, you will get a refund IF you return to the gate and let the ticket seller cut the wrist band off you before 10pm Friday evening.

See you there.

Acess to the track is governed by the track owners.  We run into that situation at times.  Give the track a call to see if there is something that you can work out.

whoo who! Camping on Thursday!!

I agree. It is going to be tough for a lot of us to get there before the gate closes. Hopefully VIR management will change its mind.

 ;D So is that only for thursday night?  What about Friday and Saturday nights,  cause some of us go out at night and tear up the town.  Then get back after midnight!
