I'll be in VA at that point....lookin for local 2gnt peeps and some peeps to roll out with....I am moving down there in teh end of march...I'll be in Newport News...no friends down there so i will be needing some direction as to hot spots n whatnot :)

im in MD, i dont have any details, when and where?

Norwalk, Ohio. The weekend of Aug 15th this year. There's another post in the announcements forum with more history and details.

SO basically, you have about 7.5 months to get "the pink" done so you can come to the shootout and show it off to everyone from the board. :P

I will be going. Thinking about leaving on a Thurs to get to Norwalk and get settled in. Anyone wanna cruise with us thats cool. Norwalk Inn.

Bucknutty, newports news is full of hot spots..im sure there are a few others that can point you in the right direction. I used to live in va beach before i moved up to the mountains.

As for the shootout, maybe we can all set up a place to meet so we can head up there together. I might have a few locals heading up there, so the more the better. Anyone around here have their rooms yet? I just dont know where/how to get that situated. Let me know what you all think

I will most likely be heading up with the Mach V caravan. They leave from Falls Church, VA. You can join us :)

No Rochester Action? I thought we were heading up and over again this year? If not I'm up for Mach V style for sure. Everyone join in.

Jeff and I are both in Westminster, Md by the way, for the local people.

Anyone know how far away Falls Church is from Newport News?

EDIT: Yahoo maps says about 3 hours...sound accurate??

Falls Church I think is near DC. So are you ~3 hrs. From DC?

im up for the mach v meet up. Just give me full details when you get them straight

I have done the MachV caravan for the past 2 years. They are a cool buncha people. If anyone else wants to cruise with them, then I will most likely caravan with them again. Thats of course, if I dont head up there on a Thurs. I am getting old ya know and cant drive ALL day and party all night.:thumbsup

Matt95tgs is from V Beach, he will prob be going from there..

Ive already talked to Matt about caravaning up:thumbsup

I am down for the mach V caravan...although...i might jus head out on my own...since 3 hours of driving alone seems like eternity IMO

I'm in MD. I'd love to go but it depends on school situation because I plan on taking summer classes BUT there are no friday classes so I could leave thurs after class and take off work thurs and friday and be back sunday night for my class monday morning. About how long of a drive is it from the Washington DC area you guys think? I doubt Ill still have my 2gnt then but I still would love to go if I can.

I've heard anywhere from 6-8 hours depending on traffic from the DC area. Not terrible by any stretch especially since you are in a DSM caravan and you have the two way walkies to keep you occupied. It's cake. Go for sure, and who needs to go to EVERY class anyway? I'm sure you could miss one, right?

hell yeah dude...go IMO...gonna be a big turnout and there will be a few party spots IMO...only good thing that weekend is the shootout, besides that there is some lil junior racing day or some ish...so methinks bar hopping and cheeling are gonna be a must :thumbsup

Yea, I'll be trailering my car from VA Beach. I wouldn't mind getting a caravan going, that'd be sweet.

trailoring?? drive teh bish!! meet up at teh mach v caravan...sounds like a lot of peeps should be there.

Drive it there??? You must be new to the race track ;). I trailor it there so I can drive the shit out of it in norwalk and not care if I brake it.

hehe, tow it with the new cherokee sport :thumbsup

i worry about that too... even just the drive there haha.

whats the room situation this year matt? email me please.

Hey guys,
I'm DEFINITLY up for the Mach V caravan (just dont make fun of my colt, k? lol) when does it leave? thats all i need to know...

P.S. hopefully i'll have my motor swap done by then, that way i might run it...

I'm in VA Beach and I'll definitly be going. I recently moved here from OH, I used to live about thiry minutes from norwalk. I've also made the trip from here to Cleveland and back about a hundred times, I average about 9 hours from here to there, did it in 8 once. if anyone here wants shortcuts let me know I'll be glad to help out with some info.
Also, if anyone wants to caravan from the tidewater area, let me know. maybe we can get enough people from around here to get a caravan together, who knows, just a thought.

I live in newport news now...I will be hitting up the mach v caravan...Hopefully my car will be running a lil better by then :shrug

Perhapse we could setup a VA meet??

Mach V is in Falls Church VA about 30-40 min from D.C. it is in Northern VA about 30 minutes from the border of Maryland. The shop is in the middle of the city and is confusing to get to.. it's not a big shop.

so i should leave a lil early so i am sure to find it?? :shrug

how about a hampton roads caravan? I'm considering setting up a tech session a few days before I leave, if there is any interest. basically some sort of event where local fellow 2gnt'ers can get together and check out their rides and make sure that they are going to make the trip ok, and most of all to meet other 2gnt'ers. if anyone is interested let me know, either send me an IM, E-mail or just post on this thread, I'll be checking this thread from time to time. cheers :cheers

I am down for that...lemme know a time and a place and i'll try to get my car together by then. She's kinda mismatched and in pieces right now :shrug

dood, bucknutty, why is your car in peices?? if you need some help getting your car rollin send me an e-mail or catch me on AIM. I could probably help. cheers! :cheers Don
