VOI questions - How much track time etc? What about the guest?

[RonC]

I signed up for VOI7 last week. I am taking my wife (of course) and she is signed up as a guest. Now since she wants to also do the track events does that mean I will end up doing less or does each paid person get to do the same amount? Wierd question maybe but if I have to, I would "borrow" my wife's uncle's viper also.

The last 2 have gone like this - it is "the car" that gets the track time (road coarse but not autocross) by placing stickers on the windshield that get removed at the start of each foray out onto the track. So you would be "splitting" the allotted track time.

The BEST way to experience VOI, if you are going for the Viper stuff, is for each person to have their own car.

Lots of time Sunday is a free day and you can get more time on track, on the autocross course, driving the Neons, etc.

My wife is looking forward to the autocross event withthe Neon. She just picked one up, and would love the chance to "play".

Course, she says that with a nervous look in her eyes......

VOI does not equal track time. Viper Days equals track time.

Ron, Janni is right on. During the "switch" days of Friday and Saturday, when almost everyone is running, your laps or autocross sessions will be very limited. But, SUNDAY, the "optional" day, is GREAT. Cuts the participants almost in half. Last VOI at St. Louis, with the extra help from some early "wet" conditions, I was able to get right back in line and run again almost immediately...... ALL DAY LONG. Well, actually, I had run through a full tank of gas, and with the heat getting to me later on, I only lasted until around 2pm before it was time for a cold shower and nap.

This time I'm taking one of my sons, and plan on letting him have ALL of the normally scheduled track day in the car, while I socialize...... and then I'll run it all day Sunday, rain or shine. The bottom line here is that BOTH of you should be able to get enough time to make you happy, unless you're REALLY track rats!

If you have experienced any track time anywhere else it will be a very big disappointment on your scheduled track day. To many posers and to few point byes. Three 15 minute sessions from the last VOI I believe. After the first 15 session I headed to the dragstrip where there at least I could get my car over 60mph. Its a shame but they same drivers on the road rally drove faster on the streets than the track?
