well, theres not too much to do now, since its winter.
every friday/sat people meet up in Norfolk and Newport News, and there is usually atleast 50 cars. alot of imports, but we normally make our presense known.
ive been to Richmond a few times, but i honestly dont like it. everytime i went the track prep was lacking. Dinwiddie (VMP) is a better track IMO and its a little closer too. MIR is another option, but its about 2hrs away - but ive been able to cut 1.8x 60's at MIR where i couldnt muster anything below a 2.1 at VMP or Richmond. but i go fairly often, as long as money permits.

Virginia Motorsports Park (Dinwiddie) is 1/4. they have Pontiacs in the Park, Super Chevy, Fun Ford Weekend, etc stop by there. and its about an hour to get there - we take the back roads 
Richmond Dragway is 1/4. a little over an hour, maybe 1 1/2 away.
Maryland International Raceway is in Mechanicsville, Md., and its a 1/4 too. it took us exactly 2 hours to get there. but we were hauling ***. speed limits up here are like 55-65 (usually 55), but when you get away from this area on 64, traffic moves at about 80-90. and in some sections of long, deserted highway we lined up and hit triple digit speeds. so i dont know how far away it is doing the speed limit.lol
im getting a new phone, and it will be here in a few days. so when i gets here ill pm you my number, i love pizza and beer.

trailer??? oh no. we dont use trailers here.lol. its not that far, you could drive it to the track just fine.
we normally goto Dinwiddie anyway, so its not far at all.
the weather in June is normally pretty nice (from what i remember of last year), and it should be good track weather.
i do have AIM, and my sn is hiddendialect - but im not on it that much. when im online im usually on the ship, and AIM is too much of a hassle to use here. but sometimes i get on it at home.

11SECSS is on here and he owns Performance Unlimited II in Newport News.
I work at Langley and live in Gloucester, we have a few F-bodies up here. Closer to the tracks than you Norfolk guys!
I've had more of a problem hooking at VMP than Richmond. I don't like how Richmond runs street/strip though, you get two time trials, then you wait 4-5 hours while they run top ET and modified. VMP is a top notch facility, but always seems a little slippery to me, but then again i have usually ran there with a boat load of Imports driving through the water. Ricers love VMP...Maryland is damn nice, 100 miles for me, so I normally go to MIR.
Welcome to the area, check out Eastern F-body and my streetsleepers, page, both are linked in my sig! Look forward to meeting you at the tracks. I've got a truck and trailer if you ever break!

I just talked to Chris (Raven02) earlier this week. I think I'm going to have him do the wire mod on my SS. Oh and by the way, I'm here too, though my car is slow, though I'm not in the military!
