In motorsports, a pit stop is where a racing vehicle stops in the pits
during a race for refueling, new tires, repairs, mechanical adjustments, a
driver change, as a penalty, or any combination of the above. Not all of
these are allowed in all forms of racing. While the term is still used in
motorsports, it also gained popularity with driving in general when
embarking on long road trips, suggesting a brief break from driving, as well
as a refueling stop. These "pit stops" grant the travelers a bathroom
break, a breakfast/lunch/dinner break, or a chance to take in the local
scenery. In this case you can have a bathroom break (if open) and get a cache at the
same time. Virginia Pit Stop # 1 (VAPS # 1) is the hopefully the first of
many throughout the area.
The pits usually comprise a pit lane which runs parallel to the start/finish
straight and is connected at each end to the main track, and a row of
garages (usually one per team) outside which the work is done. Pit stop work
is carried out by anywhere from two to twenty mechanics (also called a "pit
crew"), depending on the series regulations, while the driver often waits in
the vehicle (except where a driver change is involved or in Motorbike
racing). In this location the pits are the designated parking spots and the
ones you are looking for are at the back of the back of pit row.
