Drove up to Virginia International Raceway for the American Le Mans Series race yesterday. Previously, the big race of the year had been a Grand Am event. Grand Am and AMS are combining in 2014. Not sure how the various prototypes will be sorted out, but hopefully
it'll be with the fans in mind. Nice field of 30 cars for yesterday's race although that was spread over 5 classes. The Vettes were the loudest and won the GT class.
A pleasant laid back afternoon passed effortlessly by on the hillsides while on the track the passing was hot and contested.
Before the race started the public was invited out on the grid to mingle with the race cars and race teams.
