Default VA members in here....

Ok so ive been here in VA Beach for a little while now, was looking for some guys to run around with. Does anybody race anymore? Seems like the clubs ive found just want to kick tires all night in a parking lot instead of going out and abusing our cars for what we build em for. Names Jake and i have a silver 2k WS6 with some **** done. Let me know if you guys want to meet up one weekend and cruise.

Doesn't mean anything. I'm thinking of buying a cobra just because of the people that own them in VA now. The F-Body community is dead here, bunch of wuss's.

meet one of us at one of the local tracks and we can show you just how much of a "wuss" our cars can be.

Street racing in hampton roads still exist. but for the people like me and a few others in Va beach whom have put GOBS of money into the cars dont like to risk getting tickets or our cars taken (this has happened in the tidewater area several times). Its just not worth the risk any more, its especially worse if some jackass is behind the wheel of a powerful car and he doesnt know how to control it and then ends up taking out your car, you or anyone who might be watching. That kind of **** give us car enthuisiests a bad name and is just childish when the car should have been taken to the track, which BTW is less than 2 hours from va beach.

However crusing is always fun. I still do it on occasion but cant go long distances with the car anymore (th400, with a 4K stall). have you gone to the Bass pro hangout in hampton yet?

Well, im glad u let ur true feelings come out before i even met u so i know to steer clear of u! What u call a bunch of wuss's happens to be an extremely experienced bunch of people when it comes to racing and working on cars, and when u go out with ur new bunch of cobra buddies and wreck or get nailed to the wall we will still be cruising and meeting up and GOING TO THE ******* TRACK TO RACE!!!!!!
