I just read that spectators arent allowed... someone suggested saying that I was crewing for someone in one of the series, but I wonder if there is a list of names or something of that sort.   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'>   It would be crappy to drive to VA and not be able to get in.

Not true.  Spectators are allowed - but there is a, iirc, $10 gate charge.  The ECHC and other NASA racing classes are racing so they encourage spectators.  Crew just gets in free.  If it were earlier, I could put you in touch with someone - although it might have involved getting your hands dirty <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/satisfied.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':satisfied:'>

For anyone coming from DC or MD - don't take 95 South.  Our buddy the sniper has caused a helluva traffic snafu.  Instead, take I-66 W to Rte. 29 South.  Watch out for a tricky turn in Charlottesville - but otherwise, that will take you all the way down to Danville.  

I'm leaving work in about 1 hour (going straight there).  See you at the InnKeeper!~

By november I hopefully will have the money for another track day, but who knows. I like my tires hot, and the pavement warm, so November might not be the best time to go. Plus if I pull all the right strings, I'll be going to Summit at the end of this month to race with the Ferarri Club of America. That's gonna take a drain on money.
 Turn 11a is the oak tree turn, its the very tight righthander, that leads into the back-straight. I've seen many a car loose it in that turn, and its always fun to see them in your rear view. I would love to go to a race, and have another 240 to play around with. Last time I whent, I was either faster than a car, or slower, so there was no playing involved. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>
Hopefully now that im on the board, I'll find out more about events, and go <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

 Have fun guys, keep it safe, and no drifting  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

HippoSleek · 10-14-2002, 11:21 AM

It was great to meet all of you.  Not only did we have the best showing of 240s probably ever seen on the East Coast, we had a damn cool bunch of people.  

Amber- you are amazing!  I'm hoping to get pics up sometime tomorrow... hoping!  

I'll post up some general threads over here and maybe open a main thread for our pics on the chat board (if no one beat me to it).
