VIR is crap
I was at the races this weekend, and having never been at VIR before, I can certainly say it's a second-rate facility. Besides the fact that it took them over THREE HOURS to clean up the oil on Sunday (and nobody's reporting on that yet, it seems), just long enough for the rain to start up, then rushed through the last three races Monday morning, there is hardly anything to cater to race fans who actually WANT to follow the race.
The track is in the middle of nowhere, the speaker system is bad, there are no TV screens to show the rest of the course, the "grandstands" are in three locations and can only seat about 20 people each, there's no access to the front straight, and there isn't even a place to go to see the start/finish line!
If you guys are serious about racing, write to AMA and tell them to dump VIR as a venue. The only good thing about it was lots of porta potties, and let me tell you, that's what the rest of the experience was like: full of ----!
Congrats to Kurtis, though, and I hope Jason Pridmore is OK after that get-off in Formula Xtreme.
