FFW Richmond...Where ya'll stayin? Especially the New England crew!

So, as the title sugests...where are you guys staying? I just got a crazy bug in my head to take a drive down. I'm already in Baltimore, so its not that far!

BUT I can only go one day as Overtime is like gold around here and to miss the whole weekend would cut into my mod fund. So, which day should I come down?
I will have to drive down after work one night, and leave the next day after the event. Heck, I'd be perfectly happy sleeping in the L if I can find a safe place. Any suggestions for a drifter L owner???

Whip,
I would tell you if I knew. I am staying with Don somewhere but I don't know where.
Not much help, but I thought I would atleast reply.
I think Don is at the Cape tonight but I'm sure he will see this and let you know where.
Hope to see you this weekend.
Bill

You guys rule! Thanks for the replys! Anyway, ya I'm gonna try my best to go. The boss man has been on my tail aobut working OT, and well, I didn't work OT today so I could wash the truck then get drunk, and tommorow, Cecil is far more important that OT, and he just may blow a gasket if I tell him I'm going to VA friday night!!!! But I will try to make it down friday night to watch the show saturday, unless you think I should come down saturday night to watch sunday races? Either way, I'm planning on snoozing in the truck or gettin' a cheap motel near by. Are you guys going to be tearing it up at night? Don, you got your cell on you?

Sorry for the long post, but I'm half in the bag, and just plain looking forward to getting off this rust bucket to see the crew again!!!

VINMAN,

Thanks for the hotel info. Now I don't have to bug Juile Jo about it. I've got a little over 1500 miles to go to get to Virgina. We're taking off Wed evening. See everyone at the track.

I'll be staying right here... but then I live in Richmond, so I guess that doesn't help much huh...

j/k, looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

Also, for anybody who will be in town on Friday, www.performanceautosport.com is having an open house/customer appreciation day over here on the west end of town. I think we are cooking out on the grill and everything, should be at least 50 Saleens and some Lightnings too, check it out if you are around or call mark at (804) 784-8851

later,
chris

p.s. are you guys still planning to do hooters in chester? it's probably about 5-10 minutes away from your hotel straight north up I-95 at the Chester Route 10 exit, if so i'll have to meet you there.

Thumbs down

looks like I will be running my DOT tires on heavy A$$ED STEEL wheels.

Bogart was told I needed the new rims in time for FFW, but they decided to ship them ground across the whole county.

If I had known that I would have paid the extra to get them shipped next day or 2nd day. Hell I paid $180.00 to get the Kenne Bell shipped next day back and forth across the country.

Bogat sucks.


Anyone have a set of 30 inch slicks I can borrow.


Edit--- I might have found a set to use for the weekend
