I should be out there the night before for some camping. I will be out late but I will be there... if I can get my bike back together before Thursday night. Nothing like finding a brake problem at the last minute :argh:

No, I have arrived there around 10pm and not had an issue. I am not sure what the gate times are but you should be fine if your there at 7pm.

weather?

I've arrived at 1 AM, gates were open, no problem.

On the other hand, what do you guys think about the weather. It should be in the 50's for the high. Any concerns over the stickiness of the tire, especially in the morning?:notsure:

Just keep an easy pace. Your bike will tell you what is the correct pace to run. If you don't listen, it can't be held responsible for what happens.

It will be cold in the am. Back in march I was at VIR when ambient temp was 27F when the first A session started. Needless to say, I didn't turn my best lap. Days that start cold are great for trying to find lines through corners. You are not going to be concentrating so hard on braking points. Smooth is the name of the game. It will be a bit slick in most of the am sessions. After lunch, once the sun has had time to heat up the track surface a bit and you take the time to warm up your tires, you should be able to run whatever pace you want.

However, my first comment is still the golden rule, no matter if its 30F or 100F outside.

Two years ago it was snowing in March on JC. That was disconcerting to say the least. I'll be there with my new (to me) bike on Friday and Saturday.

A buddy just came back from a car day and said they put some sealer down in t9. Make sure you regulars do a lap or two in survey mode before bombing that turn.
