Sorry if i came across as being a punk guys, didnt mean to offend. Just seems like the guys ive met dont really want to cruise or do anything anymore. It would be cool to meet and cruise though, did it all the time when i was down in FL. Whats up with the Bass Pro shop meet? That place is my mecca, didnt know peeps met up there.

I usually prefer to go to MIR (maryland international raceway) as their track prep is usually really good.

but there are two tracks in southern va. Richmond Dragway and Dinwiddie (Virginia Motorsports Park)

as well as Capitol raceway in md but im not fond of that track.

not that we dont like cruising.... we have a big group of us that usually will go cruising every saturday.... occasionally there will be a few runs in between there too. we dont go out just to race though. virginia is alot different then florida or wherever you used to live. most guys here have too much invested in their vehicles, me included, to take a chance in it being taken away from the cops. we're definetly not "wusses" though. and you might want to change to the cobra anyways if you want a chance on keeping up with most of us.... those few mods you have now arent anything....

u seriously need to watch how u come across when ur the newb in town! I understand u ment no bad intentions but some guys like me are hot heads especially since im one of the few who is actually from this **** hole we call HR and can get pretty defensive. Anyway, some of us dont just like to hang out but actually like to hit the 1320 every once in awhile. Keep an ear out, me and silver-mod-o plan on going to MIR and making a nice vid of the cruise up thier and the runs, hopefully others around here will actually join us instead of just saying they will (ahem) and it could turn out to be pretty sweet.
