VCS has been a mecca of activity today! Volunteers, and equipment have been out in force getting the track prepped for tomorrow's BIG event! Lots of weed trimming, infield tire painting, and getting sponsor banners, and flags up has got the historic track looking great! Phil Richardson has been going non-stop working the track with tens of thousands of gallons of water, and more work is yet to come this evening, and in the morning as well.
