PLLEEEAAASSEE!  

 

 

one of my favorite tracks.  decreasing radius turns, off camber turns, lots of elevation change, a mini laguna-esk corkscrew, long fast straight, tricky oak tree turn.

if you're not comfortable draggin your knee on both sides, don't bother it's not the track for you

I once woke up in the middle of the "mini laguna-esk corkscrew" with a bunch of people standing over me asking me my name, where I was, who was the president, lol...  Yeah, VIR S suckkkzzz!!!

VIR South is the most challenging track I have been on.

Wrecked twice

Doesn't mean it sucks though. I would gladly go back.

Any track that has a turn named "the bytch" has to suck, right?

Originally I did it because I don't drive anywhere to ride for 1 day. Did that a few times starting out and always ended up wanting more or staying for another day. Now the South, South North weekend is my favorite. Great track and it has every type of turn. It's a great track to work things out as it has some great brake zones, off camber turns, decreasing radius, elavation changes, blind turns and a big old straight to open it up on. Not to mention there are so many places to pass it never really gets bottles up.

VIR Sucks because it's not 10 minutes away.

That is the only reason it sucks.

I take that back.

It sucks even more because it is absolutely worth the 5-6 hour drive.

i've never ridden south, but have found that 1 day on the track is not as fun as 2 days on the track so will be doing S on sun and N on mon.

+10....it seems that people overlook this track. It's WELL WORTH IT

T5 Continues downhill changing pitch 

T6 Elevation levels and increases

T6a Kink

T7 Slow speed 160 drgree turn

T8&9 - Climbing esses

T10 High speed kink...if your hard on the gas you look like a stunter, wheeligin big

T12 Oaktree is a bish, seems slipery in the morning even though it is not slipery and then it gets into you head all day

 

 

VIR south is just like a really hard street ride deep into WV....on second thought, everything I said is why I love this track....sorry hummus you should do it!

ZOOD ONE SLIMRAIN DET A ZOOD ONE

Let me add one more for you - the surface is great! 

 Really is a fantastic and overlooked track (although that is easily done with the North track being SO good).  Doesn't look like me schedule will allow for VIR this year (unless with Cornerspeed again in the fall), and that makes me sad  :(   A weekend with South/North is fantastic!

Lots of good input.

Sounds (and looks) like South is a cool and challenging course!  Makes me wish I had run it last year. I went to VIR twice last year but only ran on the North course both times.

Pros: Cool course. Get two TD's for the travel time of one.

Cons: Might not be the best course to clear the winter cob webs on since I've never been on it.  Will still cost a fair amount extra.

I got a couple of job interviews scheduled for this week and one of the potential jobs would cut into track time quite a bit. I might jump on the opprotunity to run VIR-South before I get too commited time-wise with work. Hmmmm, I'll have to chew on this for a bit. 

A fair warning to my fellow "I" riders if I go: If you see a bike with one of those bright orange triangles on the back watch your closure rate. 

 Thanks again.

 

 

Windblown, you will love this track.  It will be the first track day of the year for a lot of folks, so lots of cobwebs for most people (not me).  There is good places to pass so you won't hold anyone up as you get up to speed.  I will be there both days, if you go I will hook up with you for a few laps

Dam that video took me down memory lane. I  cant wait to go back

I suck at VIR, north & south!! 

I can never get anything going there.

Plus, VIR  got bad memories for me, all around!! 

However, if everything goes according to plan, I will be racing on VIR north this 3/10th-3/11th. Will just try to do my best, keep out of everybody's way, and try to stay off my butt!!
