View Full Version : RX-8 Cape Cod Run
altspace 08-30-2007, 11:14 AM Greeting fellow Mazda owners,
As some of you may gather I live on Cape Cod and after reading several threads of interest in a run here I thought it's time to start an interest thread on its own. We had a small gathering at the begining of the summer and it was a great time. Now that the fall season is around the corner and things are slowing down here it's another great chance to enjoy the weather on Cape Cod and a fun run.
Date
September 30 (date set)
Itinerary
Meet between 10:00-11:00AM at the canal parking lot.
- Start at Cape Cod canal for meet and photoshoot
- Drive the Service Rd. (the fun run for about 8 miles)
- Mini Golf at Pirates Cove (www.piratescove.net)
- Lunch at Kreame N' Cone (Really good food cheap.)
- Cruise down Main St. Hyannis
- Stop at Craigville Beach for photoshoot

This is great because I was planning a trip back home that weekend anyways, I grew up down the street from craigville, and moved to near kream and kone when I was in HS (actually worked there at the old location)
BoostedThrills 09-03-2007, 10:09 AM i remember doing this in my 350z with all those guys, it was awesome. we had 67 350Z's, 6 G35 coupes, and a handful of other random cars. such a fun time, i hope this one comes together, maybe as an annual event as they did.
altspace 09-04-2007, 07:12 AM We certainly won't have that many cars. We would be lucky if there are 50 members in MA.
If your coming Boosted add your name to the list with dates.

Sept 30 looks good for now. Hopefully, I can make it.
otakurx 09-06-2007, 05:32 AM I can do the 23 or the 30th.
altspace 09-06-2007, 07:41 AM Updated first post with time to meet. 9/30 is looking like the best date to accomodate most everyone.
On another note, how does everyone feel about having some other Mazda guys in the run? Some Protege 5's, Miata, etc.
Astral 09-06-2007, 08:48 AM Down for the run on Sept 30. No problems on other Mazdas :)

altspace 09-10-2007, 10:56 AM We are cross promoting to all Mazda owners making this a full blown Mazda event to end the season. If anyone would like to post on other forums that would be fantastic. Thanks all!
dmc27 09-10-2007, 11:10 AM Confirmed as the 30th?
altspace 09-10-2007, 05:05 PM Yes.
bassy 09-10-2007, 07:01 PM OK, I'm in for this run. :)
Hitokiri_Gensai 09-10-2007, 09:31 PM sounds like an awesome trip! i cant wait!
I Got a good group of people together from RX7club.com, i think were looking at about... 7 or 8 people?
We're all planning to meet up before we head down there so we need to know about what time you guys had planned for the meet?
j67345 09-10-2007, 09:36 PM Nice, I think I'm in for sure. This should be pretty fun

Thanks! I've been following that thread. Check my first post often as I will be updating soon with complete directions. The time is set.
altspace 09-11-2007, 07:32 AM FYI - I'm thinking of selling my brand new set of rims/tires to someone local. Pics can be found here. http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=126211
We are going to pass my house if anyone is interested.
otakurx 09-11-2007, 07:52 AM I have the date marked on my calendar. Will be there.
VarneyMazda 09-11-2007, 08:11 AM i could probably do this on my drive home from the mazsport tuning in Nj

!!! Were our 8's too much alike?? :p
altspace 09-11-2007, 09:32 AM Haha! Nah, thinking of 19's instead like yours. Though I have to say the 275 rear tire on mine are fat and look ultra aggresive.
Hitokiri_Gensai 09-11-2007, 09:48 AM well i meant time as in, time of day like... 10? 11? we were gonna meet around 9 am at our meeting point before heading down.
altspace 09-11-2007, 02:00 PM Itinerary
Meet between 9:30-10:00AM
- Start at Cape Cod canal for meet and photoshoot
- Drive the Service Rd. (the fun run for about 8 miles)
- Mini Golf at Pirates Cove (www.piratescove.net)
- Lunch at Kreame N' Cone (Really good food cheap.)
- Cruise down Main St. Hyannis
- Stop at Craigville Beach for photoshoot
I'll posts directions later on.
It's in blue. :rolleyes: If ya'll need a bit more time to get to the starting point which will be between the bridges than let me know. It's all good.
Hitokiri_Gensai 09-11-2007, 05:44 PM yeah ok im not sure how i missed that but ok xD
sounds good, do you have an actual address so i can make quest it and hand out direction to my guys?
altspace 09-11-2007, 07:38 PM Directions and routes added to first post.
Shinka-Dono 09-11-2007, 10:20 PM Any takers on the CT people meeting up with RI people on the way?
j67345, I know your going in from Granby: are you planning on taking Rt 44 into RI? A bit out of the way for me but a hell of a lot nicer than I-95. Especially on a Sunday.
Clavius 09-11-2007, 11:29 PM Might be able to make this but it depends on several factors sadly.
Also I'm going down to the PA Dyno Day Meet (its stickied btw :) ) so those of you who like to drive long distance for meets should check it out. its
Hitokiri_Gensai 09-12-2007, 08:09 AM Aright, i cant wait, this outta be an awesome meet up.
So a couple of my guys wont be able to make it until a little later so for the moment, its looking like we might show up around, 10 or maybe 10:30 you think you guys can wait for us?
altspace 09-12-2007, 08:37 AM I edited the time so people can arrive within an hour for those who are traveling from a far. The parking area is quite big. Just look for the VR 8 and other Mazdas.

j67345, I know your going in from Granby: are you planning on taking Rt 44 into RI? A bit out of the way for me but a hell of a lot nicer than I-95. Especially on a Sunday.
Let me know what routes you guys are coming in from and I can figure a place to meet up with you. I'm just off 195 at the RI / MA border so you'll have to come right by my exit on 195 or 44.
Not sure how long your drive time will be, but you can plan to stop by my house as a short break if you'd like.
Shinka-Dono 09-12-2007, 11:20 PM Drive time to altspace's parking lot varies from 3 to 4 hours depending on routes taken. I think it is worth taking state rts vs the interstates as they have me driving down to 95 and those in northern CT driving up to I-90 skipping RI altogether.
I think it is worth taking 44/101/6 but we'll see what Josh (j67...) thinks and anyone else coming from CT.
Very kind of you to offer you house for a break. Should take about an hour from there? If so, I'll have to leave around 6:30am (Oy Vey) so that I get to 195 around 9am.
Hitokiri_Gensai 09-12-2007, 11:41 PM im in North Central Connecticut, leaving around 7 to get to Solomon Pond Mall to meet my group from RX7club.com. We're gonna be heading down 495 and meet you guys all there, if theres anyone from here in CT whose interested in meeting with us, let me know.
dmc27 09-13-2007, 10:32 AM What is the address for the start point? The link on your post doesn't give me the info - just calls it "destination" or "origin" depending on which way I use it.

Correct - about an hour from my house to the start point. Anyone cutting across using RT 6 thru CT will have to connect thru Providence onto 195. If that's the route let me know, otherwise I'll see y'all at the start.
altspace 09-13-2007, 03:20 PM There is no address. It's a parking lot. There's a Scratch Pad on the Map that gives details. "Meet in parking lot. Then head up to the bridge to get onto RT. 6"
If anyone else is having difficulty using Live Search let me know.
It should look like the attached.
dmc27 09-13-2007, 03:53 PM Wasn't having trouble w/the map, just didn't like the directions it was trying to give me when I plugged info in using the "drive from" option. Anywho -
Confirm directions from 195:
25 E --> 6 E --> rotary - staying on 6 E --> Left on Church Lane --> Right on Winston Ave
Parking lot (Cape Cod Canal) is on Winston Ave? In a "can't miss it" obvious spot, I assume?
Hitokiri_Gensai 09-13-2007, 05:40 PM i got a guy in my group who is pretty sure he knows where the actual meet up is, so if anyone else is a little lost, raise your hand! xD
im presuming its a little ways off of 495?

Try this: Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=Sowams+Rd+%4041.765560,+-71.297620&daddr=41.773452,-70.561103&mrsp=0,1&sz=18&mra=mi&sll=41.7736,-70.559826&sspn=0.00258,0.00574&ie=UTF8&ll=41.773516,-70.560862&spn=0.00258,0.00574&t=h&z=18&om=1). You can right click anywhere on the map and define that as start or finish and then you can drag the directions path to any road you want. I guestimated where you live but the finish point is there with the long parking lot on the right of the road.
altspace 09-14-2007, 05:54 AM Edited first post with map and directions from Rt.495. Huge parking lot between bridges and along the canal road. Can't mis it.
From last year.

hagar852 09-19-2007, 08:50 AM Is the date set for 9/30?
If it is count me in!!
Astral 09-19-2007, 08:51 AM Is the date set for 9/30?
If it is count me in!!Yup, 9/30
dmc27 09-19-2007, 12:16 PM I'm thinking the parking lot of the Ramada Inn just off 195 in Seekonk would be an easy place to meet up. 195 East, Exit 1 in Mass takes you right up to the front of it.
Sound Good to Willub & Hagar - and anyone else who will be heading out 195?
secret8gent 09-19-2007, 02:20 PM arrg, i'm going to be flying back into boston sunday morning; car will be parked at friend's place in woburn; trying to figure out a way to make this work... :banghead:
willub and company 09-19-2007, 07:24 PM sounds good, but what time do we meet there?
willub and company 09-19-2007, 07:30 PM hopefully i will have my new Wheels by then. and if i paint them the color i want, there is no way you could miss me ;)
Hitokiri_Gensai 09-19-2007, 08:33 PM uh oh xD what colour Christian? XD
otakurx 09-20-2007, 06:04 AM I will be coming down I-93 from the north if anyone wants to meet up along the way.
KrysyGT 09-20-2007, 01:20 PM Wow great looking list! Let's hope everyone turns out and we have great weather! Can't wait to meet more of you and some of the RX7 people. :)
dmc27 09-20-2007, 03:12 PM sounds good, but what time do we meet there?
Probably about 45 mins to the meet point. 8.45 am sound good?
Hitokiri_Gensai 09-20-2007, 05:31 PM Wow great looking list! Let's hope everyone turns out and we have great weather! Can't wait to meet more of you and some of the RX7 people. :)
heh we dont bite, i promise :P
itll be nice to meet the 8club group tho, for sure.
Shinka-Dono 09-20-2007, 09:08 PM Probably about 45 mins to the meet point. 8.45 am sound good?
So, 8:45am at the Ramada Inn off Exit 1 of 195? That sounds reasonable.
dmc27 09-21-2007, 09:10 AM The Ramada Inn is across the street off Exit 1. When you get to the top of the exit you stay right, but then have to cross 4 lanes (2 Southbound, 2 Northbound) to get into the Ramada. Not really a big deal, though. If there's alot of traffic there are plenty of businesses on both sides to use as turnarounds to come back to the Inn entrance.
940 Fall River Ave. (aka Rt 114 A) in Seekonk, MA is the address.
^ Have you decided on your route?
I'll PM my cell # to those who want to meet there, just let me know.
Shinka-Dono 09-22-2007, 06:45 PM If I end up coming over with j67345 or not we (or I) will be going on 195 at some point so its no problem.
That is coming in from rt44, rt6 or 95 results in hitting 195 so it should be easy enough to meet off of exit 1.
Hitokiri_Gensai 09-22-2007, 10:19 PM Aright guys, its looking like my group from RX7club wont be able to make it to the meet until 11 or so, can you guys wait for us?
Ive got a couple guys who wont be able to make it out of work until about 10, so we wont be able to head out from there until id say 10:15 or so, so we wont make it into the meet up point (getting lost not included :P) until id say around 11 or maybe a little later.
altspace 09-23-2007, 07:24 AM Dang! The 7 guys keep pushing the time back.
I joke....it's all good. We are not on any time schedule. The only thing is the plan was to have lunch around 1 or so and this will push it to about 2-3, but I think we can all live with that. I'll adjust first post.
bassy 09-23-2007, 01:33 PM Woohoo!!!
Thank you!!! Thank you, the RX7 guys, for pushing the time back! I didn't even dare to ask it because I didn't want to be a party pooper. Well, you guys aren't party poopers or whatever...hahah
I like the new meet time; it'll allow me to get down there without getting nailed for speeding. I just can't afford to get another speeding ticket.
Boston/NH folks, you guys want to meet up somewhere and have a little caravan? I think it'll be fun...How about the South Shore Mall in Braintree (Exit 6 on I-93S)?
Hitokiri_Gensai 09-23-2007, 02:25 PM Dang! The 7 guys keep pushing the time back.

xD
yeah one of my guys has to work until 10, so that kinda leaves us set back a bit and on top of that where we're meeting him is still 45 min from the meet up point so, we'll be there when, we'll be there.
dmc27 09-24-2007, 08:56 AM If I end up coming over with j67345 or not we (or I) will be going on 195 at some point so its no problem.
That is coming in from rt44, rt6 or 95 results in hitting 195 so it should be easy enough to meet off of exit 1.
Sounds good. You guys get a little extra time in the morning now. Let's make it 9.30 a.m. at the Ramada. We'll be up to the meet point by 10.15, 10.30 at the latest.
altspace 09-24-2007, 09:50 AM Woohoo!!!
Thank you!!! Thank you, the RX7 guys, for pushing the time back! I didn't even dare to ask it because I didn't want to be a party pooper. Well, you guys aren't party poopers or whatever...hahah
Your welcome. I think most of you are going to have fun just getting to the meeting point. Hehe.
Anyone here bringing a video camera?
KrysyGT 09-25-2007, 03:55 PM Anyone here bringing a video camera?
If we can find ours we absolutely will. We had some really nice video of the Cape meet we did with the 350Z/G35 group 2 years ago!!!
I am getting excited, weather looks good!
otakurx 09-26-2007, 07:02 AM I dig my vid cam up, but I will have my big digital (and the 3 lenses for it) so should be able to get some good pictures. And the weekend looks nice, rain on friday tho (at least up here).
altspace 09-26-2007, 11:05 AM Nice! I usually shoot around 100 pics or so from every meet. I'll also setup my in-car camera rig for video footage.
Vash137 09-26-2007, 03:05 PM haha hopefully we'll get more than oh look! Its Oleg tail-gating Josh for 5 minutes!

Sorry, no. It's all inside and not really an ice cream place as it is seafood/burger joint. Huge seating areas and we can move tables and chairs to accomodate.

altspace 09-28-2007, 04:13 PM I hooked us up with a group rate on the mini golf. $5.50 per person.
genjuromikos 09-28-2007, 11:49 PM damn this sucks all these meets coming up and i cant make any of them. i'm really missing out, but i'll catch up with you guys if there's anymore meets after september..:sadwavey:
otakurx 09-29-2007, 05:51 AM ^_^ just about all ready to go, got to clean my windows before I go then picking up a friend Weymouth along the way. See everyone there!!!!
j67345 09-29-2007, 07:53 AM Crap guy...not sure if I'm going to be able to make it. UGH!
My college buddy is coming out from MN tonight...I was thinking we could cruise up there with Shinka-Dono & DMC's crew, but he's bringing his son. Not sure if he's going to want to do this with his kid here. I'm going to try to talk him into it though!
Pete/Dennis, I'll let you guys know!
willub and company 09-29-2007, 12:28 PM ^_^ just about all ready to go, got to clean my windows before I go then picking up a friend Weymouth along the way. See everyone there!!!!

dmc27 09-29-2007, 05:49 PM lol. thinking the same thing - sure would suck to go to a Sunday meet on Saturday!
Clean & ready to go!
Clavius 09-30-2007, 07:42 AM Boo!
altspace 09-30-2007, 05:39 PM Awesome! That's all I can say. Some people got a little lost, but we worked it out. Plans changed a little and some played golf while others ate somewhere. Most of us ate at Kreme N' Cone, then off to Craigville beach. Could have been a little warmer in the end, but hey it's the end of September. Nice to see new faces and some killer Mazdas.
Quote of the day, "Hey are you guys some kind of club? I'll bring over my Benz."
willub and company 09-30-2007, 05:40 PM it was a great time.
Christian
Clavius 09-30-2007, 06:29 PM Hey guys and gals,
Just wanted to drop on by again and say it was great to see everyone again. Wish I could of gone but again told the gf' I'd help her watch the kids while she went to work and yeah that didnt happen as soon as I wanted so technicaly I could of gone but 'eh whateva.
I'll be posting up some pictures as soon as I upload some and post them in another thread in the picture gallery we have on here hehe.. well lata for now.
willub and company 09-30-2007, 06:56 PM when me and some of the 7 guys went back to pirates cove to pick up one of the cars, you missed the highlight of our day. some lady was yelling that she lost money betting on the mini golf and that she was "from ca-ca-ca-california Bitch!........Cocaine Bitch!!! im a show you..."
all i can say is, it WILL be in the video..
KrysyGT 09-30-2007, 07:04 PM GREAT meet guys! Thanks again for all the great organizing Josh! We had a blast and it was really great to meet everyone. Mini golf was absolutely a good time, the food was outstanding and company even better! Can't wait to have another meet.
The Benz guy was priceless, poor guy, the assholes in the truck driving by with choice words... how smart were they? :rolleyes:
We have TONS of pics to upload - I'll post a link once they are all up.
hagar852 09-30-2007, 07:15 PM Yes I second that on Josh's great job organizing the event!!
It was really cool meeting everyone and checking out each other's rides.
I hope do it again sometime. Roofus and I had a great time.
:rock:
p.s.
Probably the funniest thing was the idiot telling us to get a real car as he drove by in his POS Jeep. :)
Clavius 09-30-2007, 07:37 PM Please post any and all pictures in this thread please!! Gotta share with the rest of the community!!!!

ZumSpeedRX-7 09-30-2007, 11:02 PM good job josh! great time! definitely worth the hike down there for sure. i loved the variety of cars; and there were a lot of damn good looking cars to make things that much better. it was really great meeting everyone. great drive, greet scenery, great food, great people; you cant go wrong.
thanks guys (and girls.) i apologize to anyone that i may have startled with my bottle rocket blow off valve. boost is addictive, what can i say?
"woah, what is this? a Mazda meet, eh? ill go get my Mercedez Benz. it's a sleeper. you see this oil is from my LL Bean edition and this is from my Benz. clearly, im a car guy. you think i can put a top mount like this or intake like that on my Chevelle?"
- My New Role Model :lol: poor guy- he just wanted to be a part of the 'in' crowd.
altspace 10-01-2007, 07:49 AM Most welcome all.
P.S. - My rims & tires are for sale. Check the link below my sig.
Clavius 10-01-2007, 08:14 AM Please tell me someone has a video or a picture of this Benz guy? sounds like a i missed one of the most hilarious things to happen in awhile around here lol

altspace 10-01-2007, 08:58 AM Oh, and the other guy in the SUV talking about how he owns a Porsche and was amazed by our gathering taking cell phone pics.
Shinka-Dono 10-01-2007, 09:38 AM First, thanks Josh. Very well done. And good to meet everybody.
While we were parading to the beach I heard,
Wifey: "What are they?"
Hubby: "I think they're Saturns."
dmc27 10-01-2007, 10:12 AM ^ That's hysterical!!! :rofl: :rollingla
Great time! I'm glad I got a chance to meet everyone.
Thanks again to Josh for setting it up.
The ride home seemed so much longer since I was forced to drive [gasp!] the speed limit! Pulled the screw out and plugged it this morning at my mechanic's shop - the thing was 3 inches long! I can't believe the tire didn't blow out right when I picked that beast up. Switching to the winter set a week or 3 early - nbd.
willub and company 10-01-2007, 10:17 AM when did you guys go to the beach??

dmc: Good to hear you made it back without issue.
secret8gent 10-01-2007, 11:26 AM clavius is your registration out?
you should fix that asap ( take it from me! - i'm sure some of the people at the castle island meet can relay my story ^_^ )
wish i coulda made this but i was spent after i landed (and very late)
next time!!!!
Shinka-Dono 10-01-2007, 11:29 AM when did you guys go to the beach??
After eating at the Kream N' Kone we headed over to the beach ~4pm.

And Bassy.. that guy and his car omfg.. its such the sleeper.. especialy the mods he put in under the hood just damn.. hope I never run into that on the street.
fitz75 10-01-2007, 12:15 PM Hey Pete - just curious, how long a trip was it for you and how was the drive back? I debated going and come Sunday morning was too lazy to get up early. Looks like I missed out on a good time!
Shinka-Dono 10-01-2007, 12:35 PM 2 hours (I-95 to I-195) to RI/MA border to meet the RI group then about 30 min to the meet.
My ride back doesn't count as I ended up exiting 95 shortly after CT border to visit someone.
You and Josh missed it. It was a good time. Pics here (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=127943) in case you didn't see them.
dmc27 10-01-2007, 01:39 PM ^That car looks like its listing to port.
dmc: Good to hear you made it back without issue.
Thanks. And I appreciate you and Hagar offering to keep it slow on the way back for me.
But even if I had a problem there was no way I was letting any flatbed (AAA or otherwise) take my car w/o me going with it!

otakurx 10-01-2007, 01:57 PM How many noticed the police just coming out of no where along the cape by mid afternoon? It was crazy, and all the onlookers were great. Oh and back at the mini-golf while everyone was eating there was some crazy lady, it was hilarious.

willub and company 10-02-2007, 06:04 PM hahahahaha. i wish i could have put in video from all the different perspectives. i feel that the video was a little 7 bias.....
hagar852 10-02-2007, 06:36 PM Great vid!!!!

i just randomly hear screaming from across the parking lot and its this lady SCREAMING back at the mini golf place but we're not sure WHO she was screaming at cause she was just screaming.
we're all like hiding behind our cars laughing our asses off over it all. thank god for video :P
yeah one of my guys from 7club got pulled over and yanked out of his car and yelled at by a cop. Guess when the Protege's started blocking traffic for people to get through someone called the cops and my buddy in his Matte Black SA got pulled over first. The cop bitched him out and then followed him around so he bailed so none of us would get arrested or some shit.
hey josh throw that video of the 4 of us hauling down that service road xD.
yeah that was allll Dave in the FD with the Type II Racing Beat Wing, he had to have gotten atleast a 60 degree angle on that one. i wish i had a video camera to film from behind xD
awesome meet guys, definitly worth the trip! i say we do it again next year!
dmc27 10-03-2007, 09:33 AM OMG that's f8cking priceless!!
