Default Assist needed - place to park trailer before/after VIR

Coming out to run the Club Race at VIR in June. The Tue-Thur prior I need to be at my corporate HQ in Baltimore, and the Mon-Wed following I will be in Richmond visitng my in-laws.
Anyone have suggestions as to a safe place that I can leave my car and trailer while I am in B'more and Richmond?

Thanks.

I ran into a similar question when on business in Philadelphia.
One suggestion was long term parking at the airport, where they had tons of room for RVs and trucks.
Worked fine though I was pretty relieved to find it intact when I returned.
Another alternative would be a race shop or RV dealer.

Talk to Tommy Webb, Director of Security at VIR. They may be able to help.

Yea.. there is trailer parking at VIR. I'm not sure what their capacity is (or how they deal with retention) but it is behind a locked gate that security operates.

A much better choice than my airport parking lot suggestion.
Can Tommy help with the rain forecast for next Tuesday/Wednesday

Yeah, but then you have to drive back from Richmond to VIR to pick up your trailer. Not exactly close by (unless you're heading south and it's on your way). Inlaws don't have room at their place?

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Will drive to Baltimore for the corporate meetings and store it in an indoor rv/boat/car storage spot (looks pretty secure from the website...alarmed, enclosed storage building on fenced-in property).

After VIR will leave the trailer there for three days while wife, kids and I go to Richmond (Tommy Webb was very helpful/quick to respond). Cannot take the trailer to RIC because sister-in-law/family, and the in-laws live in some HOA that will not allow it to be parked on street or in driveway.
Not a big deal as on the way home to CO I will swing through Winston-Salem (old home town) to see my brother.
