I remember passing Richmond and I was like "I guess we passed the exit for VMP" and Kelli Barbato was like "Nah not yet" next thing I remember is passing the exit and then reading "You're in North Carolina" I was like Wow that is a hike. We don't go back because we ran 1st round in 06 at about 7pm and the Sun was directly at Tree Level and we red-lit because I couldn't see the flash because of the sun.

That must have been during the 1/2 hour of the 10 hour drive I wasn't sleeping :P
But also, that is one of those tracks you need to go to at an off time. The DC traffic (especially if you can't use the HOV lane) is crazy. I went down once Friday afternoon and that was one of the biggest bonehead moves I've ever made traveling long distancing. It's one of the reasons I leave for the shore at 3am or Myrtle Beach at 1:30am but that Rob and I blamed on Don :P
