Don Sanders driving and narrating (also with VIR co-developer Connie Nyholm) - renovation was just starting - some trees had been cut down. One lap starting at the crossover bridge. See http://www.virhistory.com for more old VIR photos and history.
Great local tidewater(ish) narration voice... good stuff. Would have left some of the old barns though. Didnt have to tear everything down though. Typical rennovation... great vid...
I was just down there a few weeks ago, and even with the track in it's pre-restored condition, I was able to recognize the entire lap. What an amazing video and such a wonderful job with the entire complex. It is my favorite track I've been to and I am seriously looking at relocating to the area just to be able to spend more time at VIR. I wish you continued success.
Wow, the track layout is familiar, but it looks a lot different with all those trees.

"Yes, we are definitely leavin' the oak tree". One of the most historic decisions of race track construction. Thank you very much.
