Default Labor Day weekend at VIR: full course?

Planning on driving at VIR in a couple of weeks. Which track layout will we run? The "full course"?

Never been before. I figure I'll make some effort to get the layout in my head beforehand.

Very fast lap here: http://www.davidmurry.com/dmtd-videos/vir-2009

Track guide (locations of video clips may be confusing, good to have a track map handy, but note that all maps aren't numbered the same way):

My 2 cents. It's a challenging track, quite 3D. That makes it fun if all goes well, but also poses risks - plenty of places to get in trouble at this track. I would focus on getting the feel of the track and be patient about building pace. My first time there, I was pretty slow (other cars in my run group blew my doors off), but I enjoyed myself and looked forward to coming back. Having said all of this, I hope to get through the event cleanly and not embarrass myself.
