GreenCactus Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 Does anyone know if this is a "parade lap" or a free for all? There doesn't seem to be a consensus on the RVA page about it.

For $15 bucks and no helmet requirement mentions it will be follow the leader with groups of like 5 at a time, with speed dependent on the groups ability to keep up. If you have someone not keeping their spacing you the track leader will slow the pace. Just my low educated opinion. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels

I was the last in the group and got over 100mph and I know the car in front of me did too. It doesn't look like I'll be going anyway. I would have to leave no later than 6am to get there. That's just not going to happen.
