Hampton Roads/Virginia Beach Holiday Meet!
 

I've been toying with the idea of having a meet and figured I should just go ahead and start it. You guys probably don't know who I am but have worked for lots of aftermarket stuff over the years such as StopTech and now drive professionally in GRAND-AM Road Racing for Roush. One of the local shops here is Mitchum Motorsports who just moved into a brand new facility and mentioned that they want to start holding some Cars & Coffee and forum type meet and greets. They have a 25,000sq/ft shop with office and plenty of parking on the weekends to fit a ton of cars. They are located in Virginia Beach right by the Norfolk Airport. This is by no means a car specific only meet, so even if you don't have a FR-S you are welcome to come and hang out!

I know that there is a Toys for Tots meet going on the Saturday just before this meet that I will be attending as well. Hopefully we can make it a great weekend of cool cars! Here is the link to that meet as well so we can get as much turnout to both as possible!

Sunday December 9th @ 10AM

Location:
Mitchum Motorsports
5898 Thurston Ave
Virginia Beach, VA

What to expect:
- Fresh Coffee and Donuts
- Various racecars in and outside of the shop
- Locals getting together at a safe location to check out cool cars
- Chris Mitchum (owner of Mitchum Motorsports) said the office will be open with TV running with episodes of Top Gear, various GRAND-AM race coverages, and potentially even personal tours of some racecars and secret projects going on


Here is an image of where the shop is located, right off of I-64 and Hwy13/Northhampton Blvd right by the Norfolk Airport.

Here is what the front of the shop looks like with a couple of cars that were there and a google street view. There is a TON of parking on weekends for hundreds of cars, especially just across the street in an open and safe parking lot.

Do I dare spend the night in VA beach. hmm..

I'd be down. Probably nothing better to do anyways.

I've updated the original post with a new attendance list. Looks like it could be a pretty good turnout!


Joey

Up to nearly 25 cars potentially for the meet on Saturday! I'd like to see some more FR-S and BRZ cars out. The shop is thinking about getting one for a project daily driver and track car to develop parts for!


Joey

I'm gonna try and make it to this. I have to work Sunday, but I'm gonna see if I can work something out.

Tell the shop to order it from me if they want one. I've sold quite a few people on here their FRS. :)

I don't know if i'll be able to make the meet. Are last minute show ups welcome, cause it sounds like a pretty cool meet-up?

I'll pass the word along. We have a good relationship with Scion themselves through our race history along with teams & other manufacturers that we've worked with. Hoping for some goodies to come our way ;)

Of course! I'm hoping the meet will go from about 10am-12 Noon. As everyone knows, people hang around for a while and eventually leave, so I assume most people will be headed out in that 12-1pm time.

I'll put both of you guys on the list so you feel bad if you don't make it! :paddle:


Joey

Well hell, I'm game. Sign me up.

Not going to be able to make it after all. Take my name off the list.

I am no longer daring myself, lack of gasoline for the trip :(

im a maybe

Up to the top guys! The meet is this Sunday at 10AM! Hope to meet some of you out there.
