Audiworld National GTG / ACNA Driver's Event 2007 - VIR or Barber?
Ming and I are going to be heading out east for either the Barber event on November 3/4 or the VIR event on November 17/18 (he hasn't technically agreed yet, but I'm sure if there's some dark brownish booze involved, he's all in (and I'm pretty sure we could convice DWP and A few others to head out as well)).
For those of you who've driven both, which do you prefer and why?
For those who have driven VIR with the Audi Club, what track config do they normally run? Do they incoporate any of that inside course (the Patriot Course) into the full course layout? Looks like it would be a damn fun track to drive...
Kris, Press, Potomac, etc... Any of you guys planning on going to either of these events?

Might have to head out - pretty big track.
I thought of you (from your pictures) when I was watching some track video and the guys were going around the oak tree before the back straight.
Looks like when people refer to the full track, they mean the full outside track without using the inner track at all. Regardless, looks like a blast.
Just watched some video from Barber as well - that surface looks CLEAN! Couldn't tell if it was just the camera angles, but the turns looked like they had some nice banking to them as well.
Gonna be hard to choose... any chance you're going to go to Barbar as well as VIR?
