before the next VIR fusa weekend., will there be a thursday practice day ??
Not according to VIR's schedule.
I do see cornerspeed there the Monday & Tuesday before.... Not an option for most of us!

very true., not an option... oh well
thanks
Yeah I have been wondering the same as all of you. Hmm, I guess GTO/GTU will have to be practice, since I have only had one trackday at VIR. You would think that there would be practice before a National??!!!!!
No kiddin' Tiller! It would just be nice if CCS, the people we're paying KNEW A DAMN THING! Just like this weekend at Roebling...CCS says there's no practice, yet there is one. WHO IN THE HELL KNOWS what the schedule for any of these races is. It's like the weather, you really don't know till the day you get there. ::)
And yeah, since this is an FUSA weekend, I'd THINK there would be a practice day. I've only had 3.5 practice sessions on this track myself, so I'd really like another day to get my bike setup for the place.
Clay.. just FYI.. the race ORG isn't the one that does practices.. it's up to the track to put it on. So if there's no 'practice' (AKA Track day) the day before, don't bltch to CCS... talk to the track and see if they are or if they have a 'trackday/practice' scheduled
I'd think they'd know about it though, and keep up with these things for their racers.
It's a money thing...the track makes much more money off the car guys. They are the ones who have the track on Thursday.
If you really want to get out there prior to the race I'm pretty sure Aaron from the Cornerspeed School has a track day on Monday and Tuesday that week.

I wish I could get out there Mon or Tue. :(

Not according to VIR's schedule they don't. It shows the *south* course booked with Bertil Roos, with nothing listed as being on the north course on Thurs.

And the plot thickens... ???
I REALLY need to know soon if they're having practice or not, I've got this boss that likes to know when I'm not going to be here. ;) *sigh* If only I was psychic, then I'd always know these things!
I attempted to call them at 888.RACE099 and dialed the operator.... I did not get an answer. I will try later on and will post anything if I find out anything from VIR.

DUDE.. No practice.
It's not on the schedule, and it isn't on Cornerspeed's schedule. It's pretty cut and dry eh?
If that's the case, then there's no practice at Roebling tomorrow as well. ;)
Why don't you .................................
CALL CORNERSPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::)
Email is already on the way. And I already KNOW that cornerspeed isn't doing a day for Thursday. I just THOUGHT that someone else might be hosting a day on Thursday. Calling CCS does no good, they don't know anything. Like I said, according to CCS there is no practice at Roebling tomorrow, yet there is.
I guess since people want to get defensive though, I'll just shut up. ::) It just seems that everytime someone says, "definite no" someone else says something that makes it sound like a possibility.
QuoteDUDE.. No practice.

schedules can be wrong as most websites are not updated nearly enough ::)
anyway, the only word I will believe is from VIR. Keep calling the track until they tell you something. Also when you can get in and things like that.
By the way you may be paying $50 for camping the way things are going, they wanted to charge camping AND electric last time. on top of the gate fee. might be cheaper to stay in hotels.
Yea I know... If you just call the track, they will definitely know.
So just curious.. who's hosting the Roebling track day on Fri?... is it CCS?
Edit.. jeesh, can't even say d@mn
No, it's the track themselves. It was even posted on Roebling's website. I don't understand why CCS couldn't have added that to the website somewhere. Maybe I'm just asking too much. :-/
Yea, Clay.. I don't think you're understanding here... CCS doesn't have anything to do with these track days.. they are just track days held by someone else. Even the ones @ VIR on the Fri before a race weekend... those are by Cornerspeed NOT CCS.
Reason clubs schedule these track days is probably b/c they know that they will get their $ worth b/c of the racers getting there early and wanting to practice.
So CCS has no affiliation with these trackdays. THAT's why they don't post them on the schedule or the Web site.
so what is the verdict? is there a practice day?
>>so what is the verdict? is there a practice day? <<
No.
