Check it out!!!

Well it's been a while!!! I missed talking out my rear and y'all actually reading it. Hopefully I still have some readers left. I haven't had much time to dedicate to this but I hope you keep looking here for new post. My wife and I celebrated a late 15th Anniversary 2 weeks ago. We went out to Southern Virginia wineries, ate at a fabulous restaurant in Halifax, and stayed at a great B&B, which so happened to be located 4 miles from VIR. Now this was not intentional but it was a pleasant surprise. VIR is Virginia International Raceway. We are not talking dirt track or even that group that only turns left. This is an awesome euro style road course in the back country of my great state. In my last blog I talked about cruising. This is an example of a perfect trip. The rolling countryside to the wineries, lovely meal and stay. Then the next morning just a short drive to Porsches screaming past you at 150+. The other great part about the track is we simply walked through the pits like we belonged there, got to see all the cars up close and personal; little to much as we drove in and parked at the pit I had to take some evasive maneuvers around some cars probably worth well over $300k. The atmosphere was very welcoming and you could stand and watch from a balcony, the hardtop, or picnic in the grass. It really have a since of "man I want to race". Knowing that these were not professionals but some just had a lot of loot but we were at the Porsche club race. If an average or below like me wanted to race you could get into this relatively cheap. You might not win but it's still fun. They even have days called drivers education that you can bring anything on the track, you just need a helmet. Needless to say, I can't believe I didn't know about this track. And ladies there is a spa and lodge there as well as euro karts, skeet range, and golf course. Plus there are plenty of great things to do along the way and it's a great rural drive. So I recommend this type of racing to everyone. You get to see real cars that are very similar to the ones on the street so they are easily identifiable. The cost to get in is cheap, $10 on most days. Can you believe they didn't even pay me to brag this place up, I liked it that much. So who wants to sponsor me and the stang to race? Yeah me neither. I recommend checking out the web site for dates of events and pictures. It's www.VIRnow.com. Remember to have fun along the way too so as to sweeten the deal for the ladies.
