My dad runs the series and a few of my friends. Dad races in the super senior class and has a blast. Some of the tracks are also pretty challenging ive heard. What class would you run?

They seem to be making improvements, I did not race the first one, but like Nick said there were quite a few issues. The VMP race was a nice event and the track was very well laid out. These races seem to run like any other local district race around the area, but if they keep turning out some nice tracks I would run a few more.

I'm thinking about hitting this one also. It's a little bit of a haul for me but I need all the seat time I can get before Snowshoe!:macho

I appreciate the offer, but to tell you the truth I like being married and this could cause a divorce:D Racing on Sunday is tough, it will be close to 6:00 by the time you hit the road for a five hour drive home. Us working folk have to get early Monday morning, what happened to the days when races where on Saturdays?

I might do that, stay at your place and follow ya'll down, it's probably a shorter drive from there.

And James yeah I'm planning on Snowshoe, I rode tonight out at Ron's and he has an extra bed for me. He's heading out there tues or wed with michael for some pro training class or something.

Oh yeah I remember talking to you at the last Snowshoe race! That should be a sweet vacation, I've heard the smokies are gorgeous, should make for some awesome pictures.

Hopefully....

I had set aside a few days to be there after the Titan but the weather fouled those plans up. I wanted to get some Bear shots. The cubs will be out by now, and the fawns should be plentiful so hopefully I get some decent stuff.

Hey Ken, I run Lite C There. It's a pretty good series.

The first race was managed pretty bad, but I hear everything has come along way since then.

The people are great though, it's a good time out. Darrel (Dopeyferrey) is the one who really got me into it, I just don't have the time to hit every race with the way my work schedule is right now.

Here's my dad's first time shooting the D60, there's some decent pics in here from Round 1.

It's a blast, I hope you guys can come out and ride a few. I won't be at VIR, but I'll be at the rest of the them.

Here's some helmet cam footage from Colonial Beach I found.
