burke lake is nice but keep in mind, they do charge $4-5/car for non-county residents on weekends.

I actually looked into that... $8 per car not registered in the county :mad:

Wrt Burke Lake, its great but I can't remember if there is a wide open space that'll comfortably fit 25+ cars, the last time I was there. The different 'spots' are somewhat secluded and covered....

there's a big lot near the marina. on an empty day, it should easily accomodate that many.

Oh yeah the marina/jetty...great for pic opp...but its not a wide lot though, right?

if you mean the lot right in front of the marina boat launch, it's fairly small. but the main parking lot behind that is much larger. still, i don't see everyone willing to pay the $8 to get in.

[bavarian19]

Nottoway looked good when I was browsing earlier...

[KL2DC]

What about fedex field? Anyone have any contacts there? mini auto-x anyone?

[ase2dais]

Fedex Field was suggested last Januarys Meet by execution, plus I believe he mention an eatery over there like Fridays or something.

Its wide open, ez from the beltway. We just need someone from Md to scout the place out like Shim did last January for Macys

[KL2DC]

Ase: There are a lot of eateries there...but to be there officially in a large group, we may have to rent space. Will find out more info...
