About the Author

To produce this look at one of America's most important road racing courses, writer and historian Chris Holaday, author of Baseball in North Carolina's Piedmont, teamed up with Nick England and Phil Allen. England, a computer industry entrepreneur, first went to VIR as a photographer in the late 1960s and now drives in vintage race events there. Allen, a North Carolina District Court judge, served as VIR's public relations director in the early 1970s.
