Dominion Raceway near Spotsylvania Virginia

Dominion Raceway near Spotsylvania, Virginia is a new track that opened last year.  I was very impressed by what it is now and what it will be when it is finished. Not only is it the 2.0 mile road course but  in the infield is a 4/10 mile paved oval.  In addition there is a large building that includes a bar and food service facility but also what sounded like a rockin night club.  It looks like there is space for additional support businesses such as a hotel on site.

The track is interesting with concrete walls close through turn three that certainly get your attention. After turn three it is more open and has the uphill esses and a left hand turn under the bridge onto the front straight. I had reasonable mid pack finishes on a track I have never been on before and wonder what I could have done had I had a full track day under my belt instead of just one lap of reconnaissance before competing. This was our only track of the week where we ran in the rain.  An event on the paved oval was planned but was cancelled due to the rain.

Our transit today to GingerMan on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan will be a long one at over 700 miles, which means another late night, but at least tomorrows transit will be the shortest back to South  Bend and the Tire Rack.
