The famous oak tree that stood guard over Viriginia International Raceway’s Oak Tree Turn is down. According to track owner Connie Nyholm, the tree fell after breaking at its base.

Not sure if everyone had heard about this yet. What crazy timing as we are headed up there in 10 days for the NARRA event.

Here's what the corner looks like now. Such a shame, but we will be safer during the fall season when leaves fall. It got slippery!

I resend my comment. There is apparently 2 oak tree threads and for some reason when I looked in my prior posts the other one did not show up as me posting.
