Mark my words... the lightweight awd's are going to own this series. I've already moved on from attending these as several of the other "regular attendees" have as well. It just doesn't make economic sense to me to attend to be mid pack since I have double the cost with Deb participating as well. I can run for the fun of it and spend $4700 for my membership for the entire season at VIR, have 20 track days (with a top shelf catered lunch) and get a minimum of 2.5 hours (usually more) of actual seat time and have maybe 10 cars to run with on a 3.25 mile track that is one of the best in the country. That works out to less than $250 a day for both cars. I only have to travel 1 hour, can sleep in my own bed, and eat at home, pretty easy decision for me. I'll save my out of town excursions to hang out with my friends for Goodguys where the savings in entry fees will pay for most of my food and lodging for the trip.
