Re: Anybody near Richmond Virginia?

Not many people share the love and compassion of quality and acceptance of such a wonderful car (camaro/firebird/trans am) I see plenty of imports around my area. I saw something hilarious yesterday, a bright pink toyata I mean it was custom pink with the two rear wheels with pink lines around the tire itself. Atleast it was a woman driving it I felt like atleast she got the color she wanted. This was back on route 1 near ashland

Re: Anybody near Richmond Virginia?

I'm going to be heading to Richmond Dragway on the 11th for the Friday night Street Race. If anybody is there, stop by the 89 white formula that has two headlights still sticking up with license plate GME OVA and say "hey"

Re: Anybody near Richmond Virginia?

I'm pretty close to the old Chesterfield Courthouse. I've got my old reliable 86 IROC that's still just about the way it came from the factory. My son's 91 RS on the other hand is much modified, front to back. Hope to get my other 86 IROC on the road before fall but no promises (needs a new engine).

Getting together sometime might be nice. Any of you guys go to the get togethers at some of the shopping centers around here in the summer? Used to be one on Midlothian out there at that shopping center that has the Target and Kohls almost side by side. There's another one at the Hardy's on Rt. 10 just east of I-95 and there used to be one at the Ukrops just off Rt. 10 by Chippenham.

3 inch cowl but never had any problems at inspection station either. Some places do everything they can to fail while others just want to check the major things and minor things are just minor lol.

Drove down from Toronto and took the I 64 from Richmond to Charlottesville. Beautiful hiway. Got off at 522. Even better. Lots of fun to drive even at the posted speed limit!

Why not meet a bufflo wild wing near woodlake. There used to be a group of motorcylist that met there. They set up a table and when nice they would sit on the patio. Plus drinks and food there. Just a thought.
