Do you have time for a 20-20-20 run (20 mins to get there, 20 mins of actual driving, and 20 mins to get back to your home)? I could go for an earlier run, but later is preferred as it's darker and less cars.

How quickly are you planning to drive btw?

OK... so there are some good driving roads in NoVA

Thanks David for the show!!! I might have to make a couple of trips back... assuming I can find it again

No problem, that really long Clifton straight is just for warming your car up for the twisties.

When you were leading, I actually had a hard time keeping up.

The E90 looked really stable in the bends.

seems like this rally idea is really taking off!
in order to have real fun, and to doit properly, I suggest we talk about having a driving clinic on a track. We can all talk about it during Lunch at Hooters on the 14th.

Lets do it the proper and safe BMW way!
