VIR 2016 Event

[Monty M]

Looks like another strong field for F1600 this weekend at VIR, with Pelfrey expanding by a car.

I'm sure there won't be any shortage of passing over the three races

Absolutely top notch racing, it doesn't get any better than this. The F1600 series put on a hell of a show this past weekend at VIR!

Awesome; How about posting some of the video?

Also: How can I see the lap times for the starting grid? I used to run VIR with this series, and would like to again, but I don't want to get in anyone's way, or be so far behind I have nobody to race with.

Keep in mind since the repave the track is about 1-2 seconds quicker. All good times are done with a draft as well. These are best times in those sessions so also not average times.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think I'd still be playing out of my league, but I have done 2:05s on the bias plys. At least, if I can do that regularly on the spec tire, it looks like I'd not get lapped and mess with the lead group's finish. Maybe next trip I can come play where the cars are.

Jim we ran 14 laps, you would need to be 9 seconds off a lap to even be close to being lapped and that is if it ran all green. Guys who ran 4-6 seconds off were still within well under half a lap.

I am sure you would have fun and being around the other cars, following some of their lines, you would pick up more speed then you think.

Steve,
Thanks for the encouraging words. I ran 2:08 last week on the bias, but only got three sessions, and no competition [hence, the re-look at the pro series] I feel I'd have gotten down a bit more if I'd had a bit more track time, and maybe somone to chase [I left a bit of a margin at Southbend, which I haven't done when in a tight battle]. If I can do as well on the radials in the fall, I am thinking of coming to the pro event next year. I ran several times with the series, and it is a treat to have a field full of Formula Car guys, to learn from, and to watch in action.
