    HAMPTON, Va (WAVY) — Imagine a world where you could put the pedal to the metal, drive your car as fast as you want, and NOT get in trouble for it? Langley Speedway in Hampton gives you that opportunity with their Wacky Wednesday’s, an event that’s been held for over 15 years at the track. “I love it.

    RICHMOND, Va (WAVY) — Four area teams walked away State Champions on Saturday after earning VHSL gold in their respective sports. Ocean Lakes Baseball captured its first State Championship in program history when it knocked off Beach-rival Cox in a 2-1 extra-innings thriller. “For me, this is for all the guys that came before… Had some great teams, but nobody has gotten it done.

The best of the best high school baseball players from around the 757 came together to put on a show for a couple hundred fans. While the baseball was EXTREMELY high level, the bigger message of the day was that this year, the game raised $8,000 for charity.
