what's the weather like that time of year in VA? I might consider driving down to break up the winter monotony that's bound to have set in in Rochester by then...

Should be pretty decent relative to what you might find in Rochester... Probably dry, mornings will be cold, but would probably be in the upper 40s, mid 50s... if the sun is bright, could be warmer.

Here ya go from Weather.com....

meh, not looking like it (unless anyone here knows someone / can pull a few strings?). seems rather full

rather bummed cuz not only would I rather be there than Upstate NY (it's ALREADY snowing) but my folks were going to come visit and they've been dying to see a DE. oh well, next year.

sweeeet! anyone care to have a little extra ballast with them? I trust you won't put me face first into a tire barrier.

on another note, i am by no means what so ever a pro or even think i am good, however I have ran VIR a ton of times so if there is a newb driver that wants some tips on the track I may be able to chime in while riding along.
