Is anyone going to VIR this weekend? I have 3 or 4 friends going with me so far. I've done North course once and it was amazing compared to Pocono. It was sort of like going to Vegas after enjoying trips to Atlantic City. Pocono will never be the same.

Any pointers for North & South will be appreciated.

The south course doesn't hold a candle to the North course... The North course at VIR and Jennings are my favorite courses... oh wait they are two of the three I have ridden on so that really doesn't mean a thing.

i havent ridden the South course, but i never miss a nesba date on the North course. *i think i've done ~8 days there so far. *the key for VIR-North is to let it flow. *its technical, fast & lots of fun as long as you string all of the corners together - keyword is flow. *the two most critical points, in my opinion, are the front staight and turn 4 (the left hook). *on the front straight, they key is the bend/kink at the tree. *keep it pinned and lean just before the tree. *you can pretty much hold whatever line you have (inside, outside or middle) without making it an actual 'turn'. *for the left hook, turn in very late so you can straighten out turn 5 and be properly prepared for the esses (5a, 6 & 6a). *enjoy!
