Since my in-laws live just a few minutes away, I was debating going down and watching.

Come on Brett! Why not? You'll see some teams and get to check out the scene. It's a double 7 so 7 hours of racing, stop for debauchery, and then 7 more.

If you come by our pits I'll talk to you about the cars assuming I'm not on the track.

Thanks Dlmater. It's a riot to drive. A driver on our team took it out to a track day at VIR full course. Here's some vidya of it.

That truck looked cool as hell when I glanced in my mirror and saw it coming out of Oak Tree all crossed up with full steering lock and ya saved it.

You were there?! Cool!

But I can't claim credit for that save. That was Kevin Harvey. He drives a 'vette during time trails with the Tar Heel club. Kevin is one hell of a driver.

That made my day! I need one of those in my garage.

Looks like you guys are going to have a great time. Good luck.

I'll try to be there. I'm pressed for time working on my own cars lately, so I want to do that, but my son would have a siezure of joy if I took him to watch race cars with his grandfather.

Dlmater - it's a riot man. The truck has a welded diff so if you're coming out of a turn and light up one tire, the other is spinning too. It's like driving a dirt tracker on a road course.

Brett_Murphy - Who wouldn't want to give their kid a seizure of joy!? Come on down chief! We'll be there with the cars listed and quite a few other teams will be as well. Chumpcar has hinted that some NASCAR teams showed up at the last Rockingham race as it's a weekend off for those guys. The last time I was at VIR over Easter Weekend Tony Stewart's team was there along with another NASCAR team who I can't remember right now. Two days of racing. If you miss one you get a second chance. I'll be the guy in the AOL Online racing suit.

That truck has some serious power, and must have some massive brakes.

Any details on what lies underneath?

Assuming I can get my team to cough up the rest of our entry, Dirty Escort is coming.

Oh snap! I left someone hanging.

Dood, it's a cheater. They penalize us hundreds of laps. We are never in contention. Sure is fun to drive. Beats track days all to hell.

We'll be there in the Dirty Escort! We're putting the engine in it Saturday, tuning the rest of the week, and leaving out Thursday. That's just my list, Chris' list is much, much longer. Anyone else this ill-prepared?

Facebook has outsmarted me in hotlinking pictures, but here's the link to the team's facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/Dirty-Escort-Service-and-Racing/150663748297073

This will be my first time in the dirty escort (hehe), so I don't have any pics of my own.

Come on down solo chief! You'll have plenty to look at. I can't really recommend a time to visit. The first half will have the most cars on track. The second half will have the most mechanical failures to point and laugh at.

We're coming down.

Apparently Bill Caswell has been offered a driving slot in an Escort by one of the teams. Who did that?

I'll be there in spirit- look for the fast, black Fiero owned/driven by a guy I work with. One of these days I'll join him driving and crewing.

(good luck all!)

Holy E36 M3! Word travels fast! Looks like there's a good chance he'll be driving with us! Seriously, half of our team doesn't even know yet. How did you find out so fast?
