>  Bill Thumel told me last month that they were having a tough time getting a 
>race date at the
>base (Oceana). The Navy had one weekend open but that conflicted with a 
>planned (at that
>time) race that SVRA was going to have at the new Virginia International 
>Raceway (VIR).
>  On the subject of VIR I discussed that  matter  with Peter Krause out at 
>Summit Point  (The Turkey
>Bowl) yesterday and Peter says that they already have two more-or-less firm  
>spring 2000  vintage
>race dates at that new track. One date is in March, the other April. I believe 
>that one is an SVRA event 
>and the other is planned to be a quasi- VSCCA  event sort of like the turkey 
>bowl.
>Peter says that the track is already
>paved , that he has driven many  "test" laps on it and that it's a beautiful 
>track. No race cars allowed
>on the track until Spring as they are letting the pavement cure.
