Buckle up race fans! The IMSA WeatherTech Championship is ready for another exciting race weekend at the historic Virginia International Raceway. August 25th to 27th is your chance to witness the riveting spectacle and feel nearly 600 HP thunder in your chest as we celebrate this one-of-a-kind event. However, the racing fuel that tingles your nose down by the pits is not all that IMSA at VIR has to offer. Relax with some refreshment at the Oak Tree Tavern, hang out on the Skid Pad with the top-notch vendors and striking car corrals or feed your inner adrenaline junkie at 50 mph down at the go-kart track. As the sun paints the sky in the evening, take in the beauty of all 1300 acres as they frame the track that we at VIR call home. You can purchase VIR tickets here.

We have 8 non-smoking rooms available at the Quality Inn, Roxboro, NC (Address is: 906 Durham Rd, Roxboro, NC 27573) for Friday and Saturday night. You can call the Inn at (336) 599-3800. Use either my name or Beachcombers Corvette Club to reserve your room. Two double beds, microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker. Rates are $162 Friday, $171.55 Saturday. Both nights total with taxes and fees ($44.53) is $378.08.  Please book by August 22nd.
