There used to be one that hung out on the inside of the Chute for most of one summer. He sat on his haunches scratching his belly and bits calmly watching the cars go down the hill.

I saw my first ground hog at VIR this past weekend (between the esses and southbend) on the curbing. I thought for sure the car in front of me would hit it but missed it by what seemed less than a few inches. (perhaps the silver BMW that kept going into the infield scared it to the edge of the track) Other than geese I have never seen animals and certainly not a ground hog at VIR so I'll assume it hitched a ride in BMAN's trailer from Summit Point .
