The Hampton roads thread is the one for virgina if I'm not mistaken. Ive seen more rx8s on base more than anywhere I've been. Idk if all of them are on 8club tho. I'm in Norfolk, VA btw.

I'm in VA Beach. I'm actually looking to see if there's a track where I can run my car. Not really looking to race, but it would be nice to have some fun with it without worrying about crunching or getting a ticket.

Virginia International Raceway in Danville - just under 4 hours from here
Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia - I think 4-5 hours
North Carolina Center for Automotive Research (NCCAR) - about 2 hours

You'll have to search for groups running track day events: NASA, SCCA, Car clubs like Porsche, BMW, Audi, Mustang, Nissan or groups like Track Daze, Chin Motorsports. Porsche and BMW may require memberships (you can use BMW for Porsche) or may not allow non-marque cars in some events. I've done TrackDaze, 1st Settlers Porsche and Zone 2 Porsche and all are very well run.

No tickets at the track, but you can still crunch the car.
