cold is relative nitrouspaul. you will see us racing at Atco in January in 45 degree weather.
richmond is will be at least 10 degrees warmer than in NJ which is shorts weather for us. If you are from arizona then I would agree it will be cold in richmond
Traction will suck because it is cold is a petty unfair generalization. To presume hot weather is the only thing that makes a track stick then I will offer that a track over, say, 100 degrees presents similar traction issues.
If you reconsider, you know were to find us.

There's only 2-3 rooms left and they are "smoking" rooms. I have a reservation but have 2 others that want to attend. Will more rooms be added to the block?

Our block was increased 5 rooms last week, not sure if after you called though. You can try them again. They are getting close to capacity because there is another funtion (Women Pilot Assocition or something like that) at the hotel that weekend too.

Probably not. Don't have the 04 anymore - just bought a 6spd, Z51 C6 and it only has a few hundred miles on it. But a buddy who will also be there has a Z16 Z06 and we have to work on him.
