Map of Downtown Culpeper. There's appears to be a large free parking area near the Visitor's Center.

 

I spoke to Phil tonight (interrupted his dinner with the Mrs. ).

He asked me to pass along some info:

• If you emailed them with a question or helmet request (as in my case) you should get a response from them. If you did not (as I didn't), please resend the email - racerwicks@aol.com.
• Sunday's Pre-registration and Tech Inspections will begin around 4p at the Sleep Inn and go until 6p or 7p. As noted previously in this thread, the more people that do this on Sunday means the sooner we start on Monday.
• On Monday morning, while we don't start until 7a, the track will be open between 5:30a - 6:00a if you want to get to the paddock, unload the bits from your car and get situated. I'm sure M will be first in line

That's it for now. See you all Sunday!

 

Thanks for the info, JustDandy!

 

How much time you guys are allocating for lunch ?


I was thinking something more simple and quick in order to arrive early at the H.I., drive to the other hotel to get the inspection done and then have a nice dinner, although I'll reserve the nicer dinner for Monday night when I can drink wine and a couple of cocktails.

 

Lastrega you're right.

With the information that JustDandy posted, we should probably just plan on making ONE quick stop at a Fast Food type place around Charlottesville instead of stopping in Culpeper and Lynchburg, so we can get to Danville and Sleep Inn at a reasonable time for the inspection.

I think this way if we should be able to arrive in Danville by 4pm.

If nothing else, we have a good list of places to go on the way back up

 

Another thought is, this isn't an official run by any means. There's certainly no obligation to stick with the caravan the entire 5 hours. If you'd like to take a detour along the way, by all means feel free to do so

 

FYI: Between Ruckersville and Charlottesville there are a number of fast food places, and this is where you will encounter a number of “lights” too, so you will be slowing the pace anyway.
Gee, from reading the tread I was begging to think Caravan B was all about a lunch in Culpeper “Run” vs. getting to Danville.
Not a sermon, just a comment, as I will be heading down #29 on Saturday.

 

Yes I tend to be very enthusiastic about food. I think the term "foodie" could apply to me.

But, I'm down with MickeyD's.... heheh

 

I will meet you guys in the morning as planned and see how the trip goes.

 

I figure when the first person yells "im hungry" over the 2-way radio circa Ruckersville/Charlottesville, we'll just pull over

 

Doh! 2-way radio.....knew there was something I forgot to put on my list.....

 

haha...yes I consider myself a foodie too and even on this trip I'm planning out all the tasty places to eat and try out!

And to update...I will not be joining either caravan. The draw to check out random food places on my own schedule is too strong!

 

I'm taking the day off tomorrow to get ready for the trip. I just want to say that time is moving increadibly S L O W at work, today.

Anybody else suffering?

 

Yeah. Especially when I'm so want to join you guys, but I couldn't.

 

I wish my day would slow down since I have piles of A/P invoices that need to go to my project managers. Looks like I will have to put in a few hours on Saturday. I love vacation except for all the work prior and when I get.

Definately excited to hit the road and go play at VIR

See ya all Sunday morning or in the afternoon if you are not in the caravan.

Brian

 

We wish you could join us too, Chris!

 

May be, we can do some g0-kart again when you all come back.

 

I guess the cats outta the bag now....Chris, I'm bummed that you can't go! What can we do to change that? Just name it...we'll make it happen...

 

+1 How about if I write you a prescription for 'Track Therapy' that can only be filled at VIR? Trust me, I'm a therapist!

 

Well, it's kind of difficult right now.

Recently and unexpectedly, one of the companies that I had contract with was closed down.

My big account though.

I have tons of thing that I have to deal with at the moment.

Thank you though. I really wish I could make it, I would be a great fun.

 

So sorry to hear about the lost account, Chris. A lot of us are feeling the effects of the downturn in the economy. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for a good outcome in November (whatever that might be) that will get the economy back on track!

 

oh wow....sorry to hear that...well hopefully you'll find some other way to do what you love....

I can pay you $20 to take a video of our VIR event Maybe a "bring Maxi to VIR" fund?

 

I'll gladly chip in $20 for video! Plus another $20 for action shots on the track. I bet others would pay for that, too, and then it would be a business trip for you!

Maybe one of us could offer to share a room, too!

 

BTW. I have two separate questions:

1. Did anybody notice the requirement to fill our tires to MAX pressure for our tires?

2. Has anybody tried contact paper for their vehicle numbers before? Just wondering if they have enough tack to stay on for a day.

 

1. Yes

2. No

(Sorry, I couldn't resist)
