Virginia RX-8's!

Hey all ive created a page on facebook for all us in virginia or surrounding areas to connect through. itll only take a few seconds to go to the page and like it and be a part of it. Im hoping to have a bunch of people like it so we can communicate easier and make things simple if we wanted to set up a meet or talk about our cars or other virginia related things or car things. I hope this gets some attention. the page is called Rx8 virginia chapter. here is a link below...

Come out to Dulles Chick-fila on Friday nights. Always a few sevens that come out. I bring either one depending on which one I want to drive that day.

Yep that would be the one. Dulles town center. Old muscle cars show up early say fourish. While high school morons come later, around eight or so.

Some of you may have already found the other Facebook page, Central Virginia Mazda Club. Not specifically for RX-8's, but that's the majority of us. And there are two events coming up, one in Tidewater and one at Virginia International Raceway.

And what local event are you referring to?

MSCW.com events like the DIY last week at Rosenthal Mazda?

Or the Mazda car corral at New Jersey Motorsports Park two weeks ago.

Time Trails at Hyperfest at Summit Point on June 18.
I competed in NASA TT at VIR in Feb 2012.

Cars and Coffee at Great Falls x3.

Just some of the events that I have attended this year.

As you can see there are places other than Chic Filet on a Friday night.

Get involved.

Dulles Town Center is a good hike from McLean, because it's up north near Route 7 (omg stoplights) instead of down by I-66. Just an FYI.

Intriguing. I'll have to swing by sometime. I haven't done any work on my 8 like I did on my Passat, but it might be interesting to meet the 5 other 8'ers I drive past on the roads around here.

Also, a chance to ogle some 7s is always worth some effort.
