I am glad some others feeel the way I do. I was all geared up for the Glen for its significance, it location, and surrounding venues like the wine district and the close proximity of everyone. Some would like the hotel thing and others would like the surrounding locations whether it be the track or VRBO accommodations.
On the other hand VIR offers a great track(few if any barriers) that is great for the novice at the track(me included).
If I had to chose I would go with the Glen, mainly because I think that the wives and girlfriends should get something out of this as well. The countryside, lake, wine, parks and general surroundings would mean that enough time could be taken off for everyone to have a great time.
What season would we have to have to insure a good event? My choice would be summer or early fall. What dates would we be able to choose from if any??
I did some ground work on the VRBO aspect of that area, and established some good ties up there. I am sure we can get some great rates and packages for the various accommodations with the closeness of the track. Would be glad to help out.
