May 6, 2010 Great Falls VA
The second and third races of the 2010 DC Region MARRS series will be held this Mother’s Day weekend at the historic Virginia International Raceway just outside of Danville, VA. The DC Region racers are hosted by the North Carolina region in the combined MARRS/SARRC (South Atlantic Road Racing series) annual Al Fairer Challenge.
This annual event has been known to be a bit rough and tumble (at least in the Spec Miata class). Last year we were taken out in the first turn of the first lap in Saturday’s race, but managed to repair the car and finish on the podium in Sunday’s race. You can view the start and first lap of Sunday’s race last year in the video below. The camera is in a mid-pack car (a very unsafe place to be). Kevin is well up front out of the “kill” zone. Aside from the bumping, banging and general carnage that all too often characterizes a Spec Miata start; you will get an idea of the beauty of VIR, its length (3.8 miles) and the elevation change.

We plan to post to the blog all weekend, so check back often for updates and follow us on Twitter.
