Narrative:
VFR flight from nyg nnw to class east airspace between hef class D and R-6608A, wnw to front royal, va. I obtained a briefing from leesburg FSS just prior to takeoff (XA45 local). WX was VMC, no NOTAMS for route of flight, according to FSS. En route I listened to hef's tower frequency. They were asking departing traffic if they had ATIS and understood restr area. I tuned in ATIS and found there was a special restr area running from the beltway (I-495) 1 1/2 mi on either side of I-66 west to route 29 extending some distance down route 29. This restr airspace extended to 3000 ft. I soon realized I was 'in' the restr area (or close) so I climbed to 3100 ft. I later called lesburg FSS, they had no knowledge of restr area. I also called manassas tower. They stated that the restr area was a special restr area. The restr area should be officially activated and FSS allowed to brief on it.
