Yup. There was also a place we used to go to in old Baltimore years ago when I lived in DC, for th elife of me I can't remember the name of it, but it was seedy but the food was fantastic.

Name one freaking outstanding crab place in Maryland compadre.



The "DC Area" can't be summed up with one grade. Baltimore, Annapolis, Bethesda ... all good eating towns. DC itself has typical "city" restaurants, but not much of its own identity. South of DC is a bit of a foodie wasteland.

Love that Annapolis. Small but it has it going on.

Holy Scheissballs you are so spot on about southern Virginia. They don'y even have decent chains. Richmond is a freaking wasteland but I do enjoy a brew or two @ Legend when I'm in town.

Have heard of this place quite often over the last 20 years. Will make a point to go check it out. Was so delighted to be slamming down Goose Island IPAs for $2.50 / pint @ Rams Head Tavern... we simply were "frozen" there during my Annapolis time!

Dang... that Cantler's menu looks freaking awesome!

That there was a joke son. After lunch and mid afternoon tea you want to talk about some of aspects of the track and droving it with the locals? I am a right coast guy but I want to drive LS some day. Hmm....discuss the corkscrew or which local eatery pulls corks with the right one?

The inn at little washington is not to bad.

Next time you find yourself in Richmond contact me. I will make some recommendations that will change your mind.

Well said as taking these little driving safaris... one has to be prepared. Maybe just packing it all with works and setting up in some grassy infield British Empire-style is the way to go?



Have only driven a few tracks in The East. Turns out this is a big freaking country and it gets even BIGGER if you're towing something somewhere across thousands of miles. Would love to tackle Limerock and Watkins Glen... just like you'd get all misty hitting Laguna Seca or maybe even Sears Point.

Have scoped out more than a few places in your hood. Did find a Texas BBQ spot just north of downtown called... The Alamo. Kid there does a pretty good job with his beef brisket. If you order by the pound make sure you tell them to NOT throw their sauce, onions, and jalapenos on top, as that's what will happen. Funky little stucco building where you talk to them through a tiny little window. Weird, but good chow.

Will shout at 'cha.

Can't wrap my head around towing cross country. Been across in cars and on bikes a few times but lugging the car along sounds like work. I might be inclined to save the lunch money and pay for arive and drive.

Required content. YMMV. T3 is faster than it might look but goes slick in the wet well before the rest of the track. Racers wreck in T4, DE drovers step out hook and roll in T9. There is a little dip right at the apex of T9 and you gotta feel it to be right. T10 is almost flat out if you use the entire and then some track.

Did it to Road Atlanta a million years ago. Fortunately only from Texas... but THAT is still a trek. Then you worry about your rig outside the hotel at night.

Main thing I'm going to try to avoid after hitting the West Virginia border is not humming that retarded John Denver tune. Word on the street is EVERYONE does eventually!

Appreciate the tips.
