Default Heading to Virginia motorsports park Saturday

Taking the SS down there to check it out and make a few passes. Hoping to get deeper in the 12s. Any of you guys run here regularly? Looks like a nice place.

Nice facility, but not on the same level as MIR.

That sucks they closed it. I rather go to MIR too Its closer and its a great track. I can get to MIR in 45 mins and it takes a good hour in half to 45 mins to get to VMP.
