      Parking: 
      Pro Tip:  Arrive by 8am.  Too many will try to enter the park between 830 and 9 and the park entrance will get backed up.  It is a one lane road and every car has to stop at the parking station. 
      State Park charges $7 parking per carload.  If you have a VA state park permit, please have it on your mirror/dash (they also accept REI receipts for payment) otherwise have $7 handy for quick entry into the park. Once you enter the park you will continue straight on State Park Rd for 1 1/2 miles.  You will run into the parking lot.  Race morning packet pickup will take place under shelter #2 which is located on the left side of the back of the parking lot, as your drive in.

      Bathrooms:  There are two seperate indoor options at the parking lot.  One is 1/2 way into the parking lot on the right (it is behind the vending machines).  The other is the building located nearest to shelter #2 (were race day packet pickup is located.
