Signed up in black. I normally run in Red with Potomac. But first time with the 3 on the track and haven't been to VIR in 3+ years, I figured I didn't really care what group I ran in. Hopefully I can keep up, I can't say it's the car anymore .

Just slide under the wire as our anniversary is on the 26th.

Oh c'mon, we'll buy the wine for you both. She hasn't been to the track at all this year and the CS is crying. We'll leave you guys alone enough for it to be a new beginning for the tracking family

Todd, I am very glad you'll be there and in black, hopefully I'll be as well, which will be cool to run together with Scott, and then we'll all get rides with Dell in Red

But we really need to adjust your attitude: we can ALWAYS blame the car!!! Haven't you seen the problem reports lately? And now Trakcar added "difficult to shift out" problem, so our problem rolodex is getting nicer by the day

Dinner will be on Friday, I will post the time as soon as I have the confirmation for the reservation. I am asking the reservation for 8, do you think we need more seats?

Good call. The one thing you can't ever get back are those great times with your son. We'll see you at the next one

All restaurants state they don't need reservation, "just come and we'll accommodate." So, dinner is set for Friday, we'll decide on the place and time once we are there.

You can spot me by looking for a white GT3 (there will at least be another one, Todd's), I will carry the #5.

I am looking forward to running with and meeting you all.

Cheers,

I am sure you all got the email from Kevin, but in case you missed it, the confirmations are complete, car numbers are assigned (I got #5, save me couple of stickers ). The bad news is black group has 57 drivers and red 53. Even for VIR that is quite a lot, I hope people will be good with open passing without being too aggressive. The good news, there are about two dozen GTs

Not sure what your experience has been, but when I have run with FSR in the past (in White), the groups have always been big but there have been very few problems. I would hope in Black and Red with the improved situational awareness that the flow isn't too compromised. I'll just keep my arm pointed out the window when I see you guys coming...

Should be a blast, regardless.

I've heard good things about FSR, so hopefully everyone will cooperate.

I ran in both red and black at the Zone 2 event in March. I am trying not to come across as being too negative but black had issues. The group had a lot of cars and several cars seemingly refused to give passing signals. Painful to say, but I saw the same train of cars in several run sessions. I have some video where there were 5-6 car trains for 6 laps in the row, so basically half the session...... Moreover, the real concern was the resulting aggressive driving. A lot of drivers were getting frustrated, piling up in corners, weaving back and forth and ultimately passing without signals. Same old story, a "group of drivers" running at a similar pace not giving way to faster cars that are stuck behind them.

Red on the other hand was the complete opposite. Early and predictable passing signals even when you approached a group drivers that you know were working hard to stay with each other. Great flow with a lot of cars.
