DLHamblin Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Just curious which VIR track layout (Full, North, South) etc is used for the CSS 2-day. Would like to study to get familiar with it for Mays 2 Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybird180 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Where is the Bridge with the Nissan sign? (see below) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotfoot Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 If you mean where on the map, it is between turns 6 and 7. If you mean where in the video briang posted it is at 0.55 in the video, and again at 2:40. :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybird180 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks Hotfoot- I found that I don't have a good way to correlate what I see in the video to the map. The way I'm currently doing it doesn't seem to follow map/video. I put that bridge at around T5. Would this be a good Segway to talking about reading trackmaps?

Hotfoot Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Sure, go for it. Or you can start a new thread if you want. It can be hard to correlate video to maps - sometimes what looks like one turn in the video shows as two on the map, especially if the rider rides them as one big arc. T2 and T3 on this video sorta-kinda shows that - you can see a second X to show the second turn point but the rider takes a smooth arcing line so you don't really see a straight section on the video in between the turns, even though on the map you can see one. IMO maps should show obvious landmarks, like bridges that cross over the track and large outbuildings or grandstands that are easily seen when riding. And, of course, elevation changes don't show on a flat line map, but there are some cool elevation maps for some tracks, I think the Barber website has one, they make the track look like a roller coaster.

Jaybird180 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Many of the missing features show up better on the full course map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybird180 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 It's hard to believe that Cameron Beaubier who gets around this course in 1:55 (per the YT video I saw) is only doing an average of 70.45MPH. Doesn't seem very fast when looking at it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobie Fair Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 1:55, that won't be for the North Course, maybe the full course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybird180 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 OOPS! My apologies. It was 1:25.42 on ViR North. Thats an average speed of 94.9 MPH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobie Fair Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yeah, it's pretty good overall pace there, long fast front straight. A staff favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybird180 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Considering the school environment, what's a typical student pace at ViR? Assuming the student is focused on the drill and not lap time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobie Fair Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Sorry, just saw this... That is a broad spectrum answer...one can move along quite nicely, and then dawdle a little on the straights and it can make a big difference in lap times. For a street rider, being 30-40 seconds off record setting pace is actually pretty decent start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybird180 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Does ViR (and CSS) allow camping and what are the "facilities" (indoor plumbing) like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotfoot Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 That's a track question, CSS is certainly fine with it. Check the VIR website for detailed info on camping options: http://virnow.com/lodging/camping/ or here for really detailed info on policies and rules: http://virnow.com/about/policies/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
