Virginia Open 2010

I believe Kevin Zhou's coming though (avg's sub-4 always, and sub-3 a lot of the time). And Rowe's pretty close so he might come, and Justin live's close too so he might come as well. I know I'm coming (but don't worry, I'm not competition )

Which is a better drive from eastern Pennsylvania.
Richmond, VA or Cambridge, MA
(Not including distance, because they are virtually the same)

I think the traffic to Richmond should be much less. You unfortunately do have to go around DC through Northern VA, but that should be the worst part of the trip.

It's a much better drive to Richmond and there is no reason to go through DC from where you're coming from. Take the PA Turnpike to 81 south instead of taking 95. Much easier drive in the middle of nowhere.

I might go!! I'm so close in Richmond.
I better practice.

if you are thinking of coming please sign up ahead of time! this helps out soooooo much. It is way easier to delete your info from the spreadsheet then it is to look you up.

If someone can give me a place to crash, there's a chance I'll be able to make it.

Wait...no HugHey...

Hug Hey don't come to you. You come to Hug Hey.

Since there have not been any replies on this thread in 3 weeks, and there was recently a notice put up on the website, I thought I would bump the thread to post the notice for those who have not seen it, and to (hopefully) have more discussion. There's only just over a week left until the comp!

The Midlothian Village Day Festival parade is being held on the same day as the competition. All travel lanes on Midlothian Turnpike from Charter Colony Parkway to Old Buckingham Road will be closed from 8 a.m. to noon. This is the same road that the venue is located on and the closing may affect your travel to the venue. The section closed is not directly in front of the venue.
