The Hampton roads bridge tunnel is a bit spotty and a little bit after, but if you jump on the Hov after the tunnel it's as smooth as glass. A small section on 264 to the venue is a bit rough but everyone will survive. It's a bit over exaggerated. I drive 30 miles a day over what everyone will be coming in on and I haven't bent a rim yet. (knock on wood)

Unfortunately, I've gotta try to be in Va. Beach by noon. So, I will be leaving the MD at around 8am. I still have to work remotely online once I get into the Hampton Roads. Probably work out of a Panera or my Mom's house.

being new to the chesapeake and virginia beach area, i am amazed at how bad the roads are here. the pot hole, cracks, crevaces, and poor road repairs are like a mine field.
for those traveling in, be very careful. some of these holes are 5-6" deep. i just replaced my wheels last week after bending the 2nd one to the point of oblivion. 264 from 64 to VB would be a stretch to stay away from.

Seriously are you guys a bunch of babies?! Roll boss status like Smitty. If you have quality rims you WILL NOT have a problem! period. I have the softest rims ever made JP Scaras which can be bent with a wooden dowel rod and a rubber mallet. The only reason I got a bend in it was during a time when the were repaving the road and didnt see the transition from unpaved to paved. The choice was to hit it at speed or stop and get rear ended. I chose the former and got a slight bend. Other than that Im not a careful driver and I hit a majority of bumps no problems an Im here daily slammed and stretched.

Not sure why this is being blown out of proportion. DMV roads are worse than VB and most of us here drive daily in that area. If anyone should be worried about roads, it should be the Liberty guys or anyone rolling from NY/NJ/PA. Any area that sees a lot of snow is gonna have messed up roads w/holes and VB isn't one of them.

road is relatively safe (since we have a bunch of people over exaggerating roads) and its a direct shot off the highway and then back on.
What time are you and your crew planning on coming into town Chance?
I dont know of this place if its anything like the carspa on holland road its an automated one that they run your car through and have people dry it off. Are you coming down on friday or saturday? People that are coming down Friday are getting together and washing cars at Freedom Wash in Chesapeake.
