2011 VIR Cruise-In
November 5th was the first Old Dominion/NC Region Cruise-in at Virginia International Raceway, or as more commonly known...VIR. It was a cold and blustery day, about about 8am, cars started arriving for the event. There was car there from Maryland. By about 11 am we had approximately 60 to 70 cars. By noon, there were more.
We didn't get out on the track until about 12:40, taking two laps around the track. We had enough cars that we streched the line all the way around the 3.27 mile track. There were times when you could run 45-50 but then would have to stop at other points on the track.
