A Grand Day Out At VIR In a McLaren M6B |
 Traditionally, the racing season at Virginia International Raceway culminates with “Holiday Laps”, a unique fundraiser hosted in conjunction with the Salvation Army. For a $25 donation, or the equivalent in non-perishable food or unwrapped toys, car enthusiasts can drive their personal vehicles behind a pace car around the full track for a session lasting approximately 20 minutes. Additional donations are raised through raffles of prizes ranging from VIR season tickets to rides in exotic cars. What a way for car enthusiasts to “stretch their cars’ legs” while giving back to the community!
