Dude, I live in Richmond, and outside of a few blasts down 295( 
) I can't think of anyplace like what you're talking about. Route 5? Nope, State Troopers patrol down there. Forget about anyplace in Henrico. Just keep looking for a track if you want to do some high speed driving. There is a race club here in the Commonwealth somewhere, I don't have the link on my laptop, but when I get home tonight I'll post it for you.

Here you go as promised.

Go fast here. It may be a bit pricey, but so is a reckless driving ticket. Plus there's no possible jail time involved.

Join the NCCC and you can get all the track time you want on a NASCAR track during the National Convention and a few other times during the year. You have to do Low speed events for a while and then get your high speed license.
