Langley Speedway - Cody - 06-23-2013
Langley Speedway in Hampton,VA is freshly paved this season and has a good amount of racing going on throughout the summer. My friend has built an all motor civic (still trying to get him to post the build, it's insane) and is very competitive in Wacky Wednesday. Wacky Wednesday is a weekly race that people run their daily drivers and costs $15 to enter. You do 2 laps for time attack and then pick a race with someone (outside v inside lane) one lap, you either run heads up or car lengths are given as handicap. They run A and B mains and the winners take home some cash monies. I decided to take the bimmer out last Wednesday and did it just for the hell of it. It was a blast but I was really conservative driving since the track is extremely unforgiving haha. It's kind of a tease being out there for two laps, feeling it out, and realizing that slow entry fast exit doesn't apply. I might get out there and try it out again sometime but I'll definitely be around to help my friend with his civic. If anyone's in the area you should check it out. $5 to watch and it's BYOB or buy at the track.They go full redneck and do burnout contests too.

Not bad. What'd you use to film? Panning head also?
Re: Langley Speedway - Cody - 06-23-2013
T3i. Yeah used a panning head and the cars were burning out for so long I could get shots from different angles.

I know a few people that have driven there, they all say it's a lot of fun. Too bad I'll probably never have a Wednesday free to come down haha

I'm down in Yorktown, but if you're going out to WW in two weeks, I'll try to stop by. Definitely won't run the Jetta, but it'll be fun to check out. Wasn't Gil dominating the past couple seasons in his Corvette?
Re: Langley Speedway - Cody - 06-27-2013
It was rained out yesterday but I'll try to let you guys know via this thread when I'm out there or my friend is racing. Is Gil the blue vette? I've also seen his car a couple times at VIR. I think in the past they only let him run every so often haha
