It's perfectly fine to sign up in a lower experience group at a new track. You must have had an instructor in Novice group, so the right way for Chin to handle it would have been to allow that same instructor to go out with you in Intermediate group at bare minimum and then solo you if they felt it was OK.

I agree - "check instructors" for moving up is getting ridiculous. Maybe next time bring your "resume" of experience showing a history of higher run groups that you've run with.

I didn't watch your whole video, but I think you did very well for a first time at VIR. If anything maybe try a couple of turns with a later apex like Turn 3. You picked a great favorite track!
