Well I guess I'm in. Just paid for both. Probably bringing the stupid car so Jeff doesn't smash a bottle over my head.

Excellent, let's plan for dinner Wednesday night. I(we) would appreciate any local restaurant or brewery recommendations. I'm looking forward to spending time in Watkins Glen area again. :beer:

I might be able to make it to VIR as a spectator. Let me see if I can pull some strings

Is there a spectator charge? Where is everyone staying at for VIR?

Thanks for the heads up. I have never tracked with Chin before, aggressive group or calm? Would like to finally start tracking again. Even if I don't make it let me know when you are in Charlotte so we can meet up. Which shop you taking it too?

RTW, agree with you on the PCA and BMWCCA groups, have been a member of both but your assessment is so right. Not as friendly as the ITR crew.

I don't believe Chin charges spectator fees. Hotels are TBD. Several have joined recently shifting my plans.

Chin drivers are higher quality. Their event is a premium over typical events, but with a focus on track time. The result is a much faster pace in all groups with more experienced drivers. The upper groups may fit your "aggressive" description, ie, fast, but not aggressive in drive style.
