Neal, Welcome! There are a bunch of us control riders heading to VIR that weekend. In addition to getting as much info as you can in advance, please look us up when you get there. There should be myself (Bill), Kenny, Musky and Gary (Yank) all there Saturday night in preparation for Patriot Sunday, and North on Monday. We'll be in a white Dodge truck and large white enclosed trailer - probably located just to the left near the bleachers at Patriot entrance. Stop over and say hello. You'll find Patriot pretty tight on that 1000, but it's a great way to get loose. Part of Patriot (the uphill) you'll see again the next day when you run North - which is a FAR different setup. That VIR event is actually run by our partner Evolve GT - so it will be a little different than a typical N2 day - but in either case you'll find the day very enjoyable.
