penarol61 Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Hi. We are planning on raing VIR. is there still room for one more car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wittenauer Motorsports Posted June 22 Report Share Posted June 22 Perhaps the title of this thread is referencing "VIR Full" as in running the full course at VIR as versus VIR North or VIR South? After the Nelson Ledges 24 hour race, might be a few more entries for VIR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever is designing these is doing a great job. In the future would it be possible to have the design on the back and the small champcar logo on the left chest? Maybe take a poll on it? I bought one at Road Atlanta and love the design, but the large graphic is not very bendable and when placed on the chest makes it a bit uncomfortable to wear. Either way, keep em coming!

Josh Halliman Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 VIR garage rental question: if I book starting Friday, do I need to book Fri-Sun or Fri-Mon because the race ends at Noon on Sunday? I will probably be on the road to drive back south by 3pm, but I assume "checkout time" ends prior to that since the website it books through is more like a hotel booking.

Technical Advisory Committee Chris Huggins Posted July 21 Technical Advisory Committee Report Share Posted July 21 Busting my tail this week making structural weld repairs to both cars after the diff mount ripped out at CMP. Fingers crossed my transmission guy comes through with a trans rebuild in the next week or so, need to get it installed in time for testing. Its been almost long enough to forget how tough it is to survive a 24 hour race, so I am starting to look forward to this. That "fog" break last year really was nice, so low odds it comes again this year right? Lets not let Bill get started looking for the "R" word anytime soon Speaking of, if anyone is on the fence about coming, we could definitely use some crew help. I can offer food, beer, a cool trailer to crash in, and a good time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
