Nice find! Cool stuff, as well as some of the racing from the 50's and 60's.

Great find! I was there just a couple of weeks ago and the place is top notch. I was really shocked to see the condition of the track 20+ years ago!

These are a couple of my favorite pics, the lower esses and the Coke bridge.

They have a whole bunch of historic pics at this website: VIR History - Virginia International Raceway History
including a few when I was there racing bikes in 1974. :rolling:

I KNOW, I KNOW!!!

It's on my bucket list! I have seen enough videos of that track I might even turn in a good time.
That and Watkins Glen I absolutely must do before I die.
