Attention Racers: Announcement from VIR about fuel
The following announcement was sent out via email by VIR regarding fuel available at the track. For additional information, click the link in the story or write to info@virnow.com.
ANNOUNCEMENT
January 31, 2013
In an effort to better serve our Track Renters, Participants and VIR Club Members, we have made the decision to replace the 112-octane fuel in the North Paddock with 98-octane (260 GTX). This is an unleaded fuel which is ethanol-free and for off-road and racing applications only.
We hope this switch will better serve our customers’ needs and make it more convenient for them by eliminating or reducing the need to bring drums of fuel to the track. Of course, VIR will not enforce any restrictions against fuel grades we do not carry.
The following link will provide information from our website and rental contract and offers more information on the fuel available at VIR. http://virnow.com/about-
As always, if you have any questions or comments about this change, please feel free to give us a call.
Sincerely,
Kerrigan Smith
Director of Track Operations

North Carolina Region Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner 2012
The NCR Annual meeting and awards dinner was held Saturday, January 5th, at Caffé Luna in Raleigh. Over a hundred members attended and the festivities were in high gear. The food was out of this world! The buffet featured something for every one, from fresh fruit and cheese, through chilled salmon and shrimp cocktail, sliced ham, grilled sausage, steak, chicken, four kinds of pasta, asparagus and other veggies, and of course, salad. If you left hungry, it was your own fault! All drinks including beer and wines were included in the meal and that kept the conversation going until we went through the buffet line table-by-table. Many thanks to Bibi Tucker for setting all this up!
NCR Election Results
