The student mock race takes place between 5:10pm and 5:30pm. THE RIDER'S MEETING IS MANDATORY AND WE ARE CRACKING DOWN ON LATE ARRIVALS.

What happens if I'm late and don't attend the rider's meeting? (Students and Track day participants)

The rider's meeting is MANDATORY and very important. If you do not attend the rider's meeting, you will not be allowed to ride until you can be given the day's details by an instructor. Keep in mind, if the instructors are working, you will be waiting in the pits until we have time to go over all the information with you. This if for your safety and all of your fellow riders.

What time does school start?

School will begin shortly after 8am so get to the track early and prepared. If you need tires, you will need to be at the track by 6:30am, remove your own wheels and make sure you can get them reinstalled before class begins. Our tire crew will give students priority in getting tires changed first thing in the morning. Due to liability, we can only change your tires and balance them. We cannot install the wheels for you.

How do the riding sessions run?

Our typical schedule is seven 20 minute sessions for each group (Riderschool, Sport Enthusiasts and Racers). These sessions run all day back to back with a one hour break for lunch. We reserve the right to modify or amend the schedule as needed due to conditions and/or weather.

What time does the first session go onto track?

8:30am. We operate our school and track days just like a pro event. Our events are very consistent. 99% of the time, you can set your watch by our schedule.

What are the tech requirements?

Race bikes must pass race tech. Students and Sport Enthusiasts must pass our normal tech requirements.

Will there be tire support (tire vending and tire changing services)?

Yes. Cornerspeed is a Pirelli tire vendor. We stock all Pirelli tires from rains and intermediates to DOT race and slicks. Mounting and balancing is included when you purchase tires from us. We also stock ChickenHawk Tire Warmers, Pit Bull stands and a variety of track necessities.

Will the track be open the night before events for set-up or camping?

If you wish to leave your bike trailer at the track, you can. You must arrive between 5:30pm and 6:30pm the night before the event. No earlier by request of V.I.R. to be courteous to the renter of that day. The main gate closes at 7pm and you must be out by then. Camping is available only at special events and Thursday nights before Open Practice on Fridays. In other words, if the flyer or event says you can camp, you can. If camping is not mentioned, then assume that you can't.

VIR's website has all the information you need from hotels to maps and directions. That web address is http://www.virclub.com. The phone number at VIR is 804-822-7700.

I don't have a racing license and I have not completed an accredited school but I've done some track days, can I ride at your track days?

Only if you're enrolled in our school. For everyone's safety, all riders must furnish proof (copy of a diploma) that they have successfully completed an accredited riderschool or hold a valid racing license. This insures everyone's safety that much more. While there is no way to guarantee your safety on a racetrack, we try to do everything possible to make sure your track experience is safe and fun. So if you've done a few track days, now's a good time to learn some of the finer points and acquire some good knowledge by enrolling in the school.

If I've been doing track days, why should I take the school?

There's alot of good reasons. For one; now that you've done a few track days, you've probably started to find out why it's difficult and challenging to go fast on a motorcycle. Our classroom theory combined with the on-track instruction will help you sort out many of the questions you have. Our on-track instructors will work with you one on one throughout the day helping you every step of the way. By the end of the day, many of the questions you came with will be answered. Another good reason for taking the school is getting accredited so you can ride track days just about anywhere. Other organizations like Cornerspeed will honor your diploma and allow you to ride track days and open practices with them. Without a diploma, you're limited in your opportunities to ride various tracks.

Do we ride in the rain?

Yes, rain or shine, we ride. You will be amazed at what a good day you can have while riding in the rain. Finesse and smoothness are the key. Many students have written back to tell us how much they enjoyed learning on a wet track. If you attend a school with some rain, chances are that you will never fear the rain again. Please note, we have a no refund policy and no credit policy due to weather. The ONLY time there will be a credit due to rain or inclement weather is if the track is deemed unsafe and completely shut down before the day begins.
