Those of you that caught season two of Setup back in February already know what great exposure that series was for me. (Photo: SPEED)

Miller is a KONI Challenge regular at this point, having run with Automatic Racing and BGB Motorsports for two seasons, and Brian Smith currently utilizes his vast racing experience as the track manager at Carolina Motorsports Park. The Freedom Autosport regulars will also be in attendance and this strong team will be sure to have three quick cars. Team drivers Derek Whitis, Rhett O’Doski, Tom Long, and Jim Daniels will show the way as we get on track Thursday afternoon in preparation for the weekend’s action.

This event will only be made better by the fact that it is at one of the best facilities and tracks in North America, Virginia International Raceway. The Full Course that we will be running has everything from tight, technical sections, to the fast “commitment” corners that separate the men from the boys. The lap begins with several low-to-medium speed sections near the paddock and Spectator Hill, before running under the bridge and through the Uphill Esses and Southbend—one of the best complexes of turns in North America. Then, through the trademark Oak Tree turn, the slowest point on the track, and all the way up the back straight into Roller Coaster where you brake as late as you dare and start your ride down the hill. Finish off the lap with a pucker moment in Hogpen and you’re done. Wash, rinse, and repeat for six hours.

In addition to the two six hour races, there will be lots of action to be enjoyed by all with the Redline Time Attack, Formula Drift Pro-Am presented by Mazda, karting, and much more. I hope to see you at the track for the ST race on Saturday at 2pm, but if you can’t make it, be sure to check out the updates, pictures, and video, here and at www.MikeSkeen.com.
