 "IALR's initiatives that involve the VIRginia International Raceway have already, even in the formative stages, brought in new business that would never have come to Southside Virginia. VIPER is bringing tomorrow's motorsport technologies to the heart of Virginia's racing region today. Motorsports is a fast growing industry and one this area can embrace and benefit from easily as new teams and suppliers locate here to be near VIPER at VIR, its test facilities, and IALR expertise." -- Connie Lee Nyholm, managing partner, VIRginia International Raceway |
