Zoom! Zoom! Virginia International Raceway Is Nearby

If you're in the family of a racer, you may enjoy coming here for some peace and quiet after busy race days.

Just look at some of the events in the next few monthsl:

 

  • WERA Cycle Jam, Aug. 6-8
  • Suzuki White Lightning AMA Pro Superbike Nationals, Aug. 13-15.
  • VIR Club Racing Aug. 21-22.
  • SCCA Pro Sports Car Wars, Sept. 10-12.
  • Championship Cup Series Sept. 25-26.

You also may enjoy dining at the Oak Tree Tavern, a plantation home that was once the Bruce Foote House, as we did. When power went out during a lightning storm, the servers gave us two drinks, two sets of rolls, salad and dessert without charging us.

Wait, there's more: Stock car racing is also held every two or three weeks at South Boston Speedway: July 31, Aug. 14, Aug. 28 and Sept. 4. It's located less than 15 minutes from Oak Grove.
