GT Live @ VIR, Oct 4-6
October 4-6, GTLive will be hosting the final Redline Time Attack event at Virginia International Raceway. PTuning is trying desperately to get the tC back up and running for this event. As of right now, the body/frame work is finished, and they just need to drop in the new motor, along with a few other fixes. I'm going to be taking the long 8-9 hour drive down the to track for the weekend.
Spectating will be $25 per day, or $40 for the full pass.
Street class racing is $225.
Modified class/Unlimited class is $400.
Rules for classes are posted up on www.redlinetimeattack.com
This is the final event for the Redline Time Attack series, and currently, the PTuning tC is in first place tied with the Sport Car Motion Honda Civic for Modified FWD and Chris Rado's tC is currently in first place for Unlimited FWD. Also, the rankings don't show Justin's xA (shows the Sentra he used at Summit), so I don't know where he stands, but that xA of his moves. So come support Scion and enjoy the race.
More info @ www.gtlivetour.com and www.redlinetimeattack.com
GT LIVE always plays host to a variety of road racing and this year is no different. We'll be featuring the Grand Am Koni Challenge season finale, MPRA, Spec Miata and Skip Barber.
I'll start a roll call, incase anyone else is planning on attending. I'll only be spectating for this event. Racing (hopefully) begins next season for me.

I guess you're lucky I didn't make it the real rick roll website, which has a non-closeable window that just keeps spamming you with a pop-up prompt.You going to the race? You're only 2 hours away from the track. I'll be stopping in Richmond for dinner and gas Friday night (around 5-7pm). Any suggestions on food? I heard Double T's BBQ was supposed to be good :D.
Btw, if anyone is looking for hotels, search in Danville, VA and Roxboro, NC. I'm staying a little further away in Dunham, NC because the hotels are higher rated and actually cheaper, plus offer complementary high-speed internet and breakfast.

Maps.google.com FTW. Or iPhone/iPod Touch FTW.
Bump for more support. 4 days from now, I'll be packing up the tC and heading out. Can't wait to hit the insane traffic in Baltimore and Washington D.C. :D

I'll have my friends EZ-Pass, which I believe works for the majority of the trip.
Are you gonna make it out to the track? It's only 3-4 hours. I'm actually going to be passing thru your town at about 4-7pm.

I'm not sure if I am going to make it. I will be in Blacksburg for the W. Kentucky game weekend. We might have a car club cruise on Sunday. I might also be car-pooling with someone. So there are a couple factors. We'll see.

Haha, that's awesome. Needs more Shenandoah.
Wow, I just realized you live in Frederick, and not Fredericksburg, haha. I guess I won't be passing through your town.
Got all 3 of my cameras fully charged and packed it all up. Swapped my 17's back onto my car, gonna bump the tire pressure up to 38 tomorrow and do an oil change.
