So what's the racing like in Virginia right now? I have been away from home for a while, and in NC and CO for the last few years. Not including Iraq, but there is no street racing out here unless I am chasing someone.

Anyways, I have run a few pretty fast cars, from a 13.2 second DOHC civic back in 1999 that everyone said couldn't be done, (Did it at Rockingham!), to my latest MKIII with a 62-1, but that car is getting ready to go to California. What kind of stuff do you see in Hampton Roads???

So does anyone remember my Silver BMW Alpina? It has rolled around the "News" for the last few years. It wasn't fast because I was spending all the dough on the suspension. But now I have a few tricks to pull from all this tax free money I have been getting here in the holy land of hell.

Peace out!
And keep the greasy side down

Yeah. You shouldn't have too much of a problem. Here is the lowdown. Segovia bought in on a 25 million dollar contract for several satellites and laptops to boot. Usually there are like 20-25 laptops per location, and these are in several locations around the country. Now where I just came back from, (BFE!), there weren't any. But there were regular Lan line connections, which are much slower and more censored. So you shouldn't be too long without internet, usually only when the sats are down or are slow, which is hit and miss out here.
Later!
