If you really like browsing through old race photos and history, here is a fabulous site on the early history at VIR:
http://dega.cs.unc.edu/~nick/new/vir.html
(found the site by back-tracking a photo link on another site)
It has quite a bit of info from 1950's thru 1975....you can spend quite a bit of time going over the photo albums...some nice Cobra pics scattered about!
Have fun!
