Rumored for awhile and announced yesterday, ALMS will have a four hour enduro at VIR this coming fall. Oddly enough, they are going to be using the Grand Course.

I will be there.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

But this is going to be a great event

While looking at grabbing some tickets for the race, I saw that they are $70 for a Saturday-only pass and $90 for the 4-day pass! :shock: I still want to go, but damn, that seems quite steep for a 4-hour race, especially since I was hoping to invite a bunch of people to go with, some of whom are more casual race fans and I think this price will pretty effectively deter them.

Has anyone found any discount codes? Or could we arrange a THSCC bulk ticket purchase?

That is steep considering the Petit Le Mans 4-day pass (advance pricing) is only $80 (ten less) and that is a bigger/long race. It would also be nice to know if children under a specific age get in free.

I'm interested in going but I can't imagine how they are going to fit everyone on their campus... At Road Atlanta, there wasn't a 12x12 patch of grass not covered by something...

I called VIR and they are offering a 10% discount for a bulk purchase of 10 or more tickets. That makes them $81 for the 4-day pass instead of $90. Not a huge discount but hey, better than nothing. I will be making a group order and will be happy to order tickets for club members too. If you would like me to get you a ticket, post or email me and I will get the order in this week, then bring money to me at this month's club meeting.
