WESTERN VA REGIONAL CAR MEET 4/2/11
I am new to these forums but to those that live in the area you may have seen me -- I drive the blue Lotus Elise in Lynchburg. Here is an event to start the new year right, it's my goal to make this a very enjoyable year to auto enthusiasts in this area, first beginning with this drive. I would at least like to get a poker run going, a rally to the beach, etc. But it depends on everybody's participation.

Re: WESTERN VA REGIONAL CAR MEET
I cannot predict the future and therefore I am unable to tell you the kind of winter we will see this year, but routes with loose gravel will be avoided. Last year both Route 56 and Route 60 were treated with gravel but other routes were not (And I cannot remember the year before which was considered a more mild winter.) Nonetheless I will be driving these routes periodically throughout the winter (as I usually do,) and a day before for good measure.

Re: WESTERN VA REGIONAL CAR MEET
Yeah no disrespect but I know that in this area (SWVA) that early February usually means big snow, in my personal experience there's been at least 5 inches on my birthday (feb. 6) for at least the past 5 years. You should set the date for spring instead: no snow, no marbles, no fucking salt to make my wheels stick to the hubs.
