4th of July Weekend Happenings

Recommended Posts

Posted

I was just curious what you all are doing this weekend :questionmark:

 

I am planning on hanging out at the Cruise-In at the Chik-fil-a near the Dulles Town Center on Friday. A friend will be there with his Corvette club and there should be lots of old hotrods, current muscle cars and imports.

 

On Monday I am going to the AMA flat track motorcycle races in Frederick. The qualifying starts at 11 and the racing at 3. Here is the link to the race: http://www.barbarafritchieclassic.com/

 

I have never been to a AMA flat track event and it should be fun.

 

Hope to see some of you this weekend :top:

The cruise in sounds fun, any other MINIacks going? I remember shortly after I moved here, there was a meet up at a Chic'fil'a (off willard road?)but was all honda kids, and a crap load of hondas/nissans/chevys/and Scions(toyotas)and maybe 3 notable cars. Wasn't worth the mean muggin' just going around the parking lot.

 

 

I, for one, am just glad I don't have to deal with the 4th this year. I plan on laying low, having a few Guinness, throwing a few birds on the grill, and keeping it low key. Will be the first 4th in 3 years I am not doing the roof top event at 12th and F for 3thousand people. I can watch those same National Mall Fireworks from the comfort of the mancave, and NOT have a 3 hour commute home!

A few of us have showed up with our MINI's. Usually nothing organized.

 

As far as the types of cars that show up, the classics arrived early in the evening, then the modern muscle (camaros, corvettes, mustangs, etc) start arriving and later the imports/etc arrive.

 

Hope everyone has a great 4th no matter what you get into :rock:

Well, giving Scoopie a thorough bath is 1st on my list; she gets new eyes installed on Sunday, and I'll watch the fireworks in the comfort of the girlcave on Monday. :wink:

The weekend is sadly now over, but I went down to Skyline with my buddy (he's driving the black 5.0) and took a spin in the new 650i when BMW had their drive for team USA event at Sterling BMW/MINI.
