I think I prefer the 1998 version. What for a vehicle could run it as it was?

TIL that VIR was an offroad park.

From Wikipedia:

The track originally opened August 3, 1957 and was created by a group of men using a bulldozer.

:D

“ You don’t know  where it’s going.”

Sees all the skid marks leaving track right....

It was paved ( macadam) for the first race in 1957 , so it was only a ‘ rally’ course for a year or so.

It is somewhere in my trunk of mysterious things but I have a catalog for Kosei wheels from like...15, 16 years ago... maybe even older.

They were really good, inexpensive and light wheels that we have never had a problem with. Too bad they discontinued them
