Virginia International Raceway; Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals presented by Dunlop & Rockstar. The 2008 AMA Superbike Championship is headed down the homestretch at Virginia International Raceway on Aug. 15-17 for a pair of the season's final five Superbike-class contests. Virginia International Raceway is located just north of the North Carolina border in Alton, Va., which is 12 miles east of Danville, Va. The popular venue, which boasts a resort-type atmosphere, hosts this week's Suzuki Big Kahuna Nationals, presented by Dunlop & Rockstar. This event is a direct descendent of the original Big Kahuna weekends at Road Atlanta that kicked off the now prevalent doubleheader format trend in AMA Superbike racing.
