Default VIR 50th Anniversary
According to the VIR web site, the Gold Cup Historic Races at Virginia International Raceway will be held June 8-9-10, 2007 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of VIR’s opening in 1957. It was August 3, 1957 that Carroll Shelby won the feature race in a Maserati 450S.

This week's Speed Sport News says Carroll Shelby will be there as well as Chris Economaki, who served as the announcer for VIR’s inaugural race in 1957.
