Default recently moved to richmond, va

I recently moved to Richmond, VA. I don't know the area very well. Any suggestions for:

  • race shops ( have a track prepped 996 gt3 )
  • indoor trailer and car storage

Any other recommendations or tips?

Thanks.

VIR will be your new home away from home. You're going to love it if you haven't been there yet.
Watch your speed going there on 360. It's a great four lane divided highway over rolling hills and the VA Sate Police love to hide behind those hills.

Don't speed anywhere in the state. At any time.
Except on track at VIR.
That is all.
