From being around VIR's Managing Partner, Connie Nyholm, I would have never guessed that prior to coming to VIR she had never even stepped foot on a racetrack, but that's one of the interesting tidbits I learned from reading an article about her on VirginiaBusiness.com.
Last week I was privileged to visit VIR and tour the new luxury villas (awesome is all I can say!), the VIPER facility (bearing witness to Mike Sexton's near-death skills at virtual racing), and Peter Krauss' Driver Development Studio in the industrial park (I want his car!). There are some really exciting things going on out there that most area residents probably aren't aware of, so if you get a chance to attend a race at or take a tour of VIR, please try to go - I think you'll be amazed that all of this is in Halifax County! And don't forget to read the Virginia Business article about Connie.
