YET ANOTHER East Coast gathering poll....

i too was worrried that there wasn't much around to do but then again that may be a good thing; nothing to distract from the reason of the gathering, the people and the cars. i'm cool with sitting by the car with a steak on a grill and a cold brew.

 

That's fixed now! !

 

Now that's funny!

 

Funny!

Now can we make it binding???

 

All of a sudden 247 votes for the Dragon? Some one is very clever!

 

Just think how cool it would be if we had only a 15-20% turnout too!
I'd take the week off to hang out with 40 308's!

 

VIR is very close to me. But, out of curiosity I tried to do some searching on Berry Hill but could find no lodging there. I did find this link:

Are they in the process of renovating it?

Bingo. The future is very much in question, and has already caused considerable concern for local VIR track events. Personally, I would not put eggs in that basket unless there is a firm commitment the place will actually be open when you pull up the driveway.

 

I tried to go to the Berry Hill Plantation Resort website and it is no longer active. What is the deal?

Can anyone shed some light on this situation?

 

Sounds like VIR is a bust due to lack of motels/hotels and the Dragon is too far for the Nor' Easterners. So does anyone know of another place around central VA that has decent roads/scenery (NOT DC) that we can meet? Maybe something an hour or less off of I95?

 

Now don't everyone jump on me all at once,

I have never been there, but these were suggested by someone who lives in North Carolina. They are not road courses, but sould like long scenic drives, and Hotel are plentiful. Maybe someone knows or lives in the area and can make a recomendation

#1. Beaufort: Cedar Island to Beaufort Scenic Drive
A 44-mile paved drive from Cedar Island National Wildlife Refuge

#2. Cape Hatteras National Seashore: Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge to Hatteras Scenic Drive, A 48-mile drive past the seemingly endless beaches and dunes of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, with a visit to a wildlife refuge and what is probably the best-known lighthouse in America.

 

I've done the Outer Banks and it is beautiful. It is also a loooooong way off I95 and can get expensive and book up fast in the summer. Not much of a "drive" though. 2 lane road with lots of tourists going slow in the heat.

I've never been to Beaufort though.

 

Well you guys could always book the Barvarian Inn in WV...............................................................!

VIR and Berry Hill.... I'm beginning to see visions of Chevy Chase and Wally World....

 

Just a thought, great beer and not too far off the interstate.

Green Leafe Cafe

Any interest in going to Charlotte or Richmond International Raceway for a NASCAR race.. Get the Ferraris on the track for a couple of parade laps before the race?

A sea of Ferrari's crusing around the track?

Charlotte is May 27 or Oct 13
Richmond is May 5 or Sept 8

They have beer there too!

 

That would be a blast and thanks for a very creative suggestion. Can't help but think though that all those Nascar folks would be pelting us with cow pies and empty Bud cans.
Seriously, I would love that.

 

Actually, in Charlotte, that would be chicken wings I believe.

 

va is a big state. i'm not clear on the vir deal. was the main draw there the track? summit point is nice but it's a long way from vir. danville, where vir is to the blue ridge isn't really further. nice drives and plenty of places to stay.

 

What about doing something near here? Anyone know anything about this part of the world? Safe? Good roads? Mild cops? Nice places to stay?

 

if we're being equitable then raleigh/durham nc is about 600 miles from boston and central fl. there surely are lots to do around there.are there any nc chatters in that area?

 

Agreed. There have got to be some good places to meet in VA. It's a pretty big state! All VA state cops can't be SOBs.
