Yup. I'd love to do it. But I think with the kids as young as they are, we wouldn't be there for very long. Maybe next year! Have a great event!

well it was a very very long day. we qualified well and where moving up in the feild but in the first hour we blew a trans, came in and switched the trans went back out, in the padock for 1.5 hours. we then had an electrical gremlin wich made us stop again and fix, off track for 30 min. go back out and get called in for a fuel leak , problem was ower vent for the quick fuel was spilling so we had to come back in and fix, off track for 15 min again. go back out and thankfully durring one of the full corse cautions we had a left frount wheel bearing go out at the apex of oak tree, now for thoughs of you who know VIR you know how fast you can go and no run off at oak tree so this is why i say thankfully it happend under caution. got flat towed in repaired , off track for 45 min . go back out now in 60th spot with all the fast guys dropping like flys at this point due to motor failures. all other second gen rx7s that entered the event did not finish due to trannies failing. then in the last hour of the race we blew 5th gear out and revers as well but still managed to finish the race up. dont even know what place but just finishing this day up was a victory in itself for us and we can atleast say we where the only second gen team to finish.
