additional services rendered that are beyond the basic facility
cost. Examples include; oil dry (material used to clean up oil
spills), coldpacks use in fuel cleanups/fires extinguished or
in some cases a specific flat bed tow vehicle.

for specific charges resulting from VIR services required
that are in addition to the standard facility cost. This
is typical of driver education events.
June 2008 VIR Grand Course Event Fees:
- VIR's Grand East requires leasing both the Full and Patriot courses. Essentially two tracks, totaling 4.2 miles and all the associated increased cost of two tracks combined into one event.
- The Grand East is the vast majority of Full Course (with the North and South connectors) and the majority of Patriot Course. See both track maps on the June event page.
- Registration is by receipt of
fees and space available. PayPal or Postmark date is crucial
when we get close to filling up. Acknowledgement is via email,
applications are sorted by postmark or PayPal payment date and
processed in batches.
- The fee is per participant,
two students may share one vehicle by assignment to two different
run groups. Students may not share one time slot as this increases
event and instructor workload.
- $435 for two days (Sat
& Sun).
- Two ways to pay:
- $435 online using using a credit
card. Please use the encrypted
PayPal icon on the VIR Grand June 2008 event main page;

June 2008 VIR Grand Course Cancellation Policy:
The track event is held rain or shine.
All cancellations subject to $25 processing fee.
Participants are subject to a $200 cancellation fee after May 14, 2008, 6:00 PM EST
No refunds after June 1, 2008,
6:00 PM EST, forfeiture of fee if spot not resold. Substitutions
allowed, provided they complete the pre-inspection and provide
advance notice by Monday, June 9, 2008 by 6:00 PM EST
MDA events typically sell out
in advance, we will make every attempt to fill your spot from
the wait list (if one exists). However, usually 2-3 weeks beforehand
85% or more of the wait listed participants make other plans
figuring they are not going to get in. Those few that remain
this close to the event still need time to prep their vehicles.
The sooner MDA is notified, the sooner we can provide assistance.
Bottom line, don't wait until the last minute to contact MDA.
If you have any questions contact
Dave Nugent.
