For anyone interested in the history of Virginia International Raceway, I
have recently posted a nice article on construction of the original track in
1956-57. One-time VIR PR director Phil Allen wrote this article, based on
his recent interviews with the original founders.

There are also photos of the track under construction at
http://dega.cs.unc.edu/~nick/new/vir/56-cons/index.htm
And the VIR history main page with links to over 2000 historic photos, race
results, etc is at
http://dega.cs.unc.edu/~nick/new/vir.html
Happy Holidays to all,
Nick
