sounds like fun.....

[Irish_in_a_RX8]

..it should be Chris. Last year was a blast, and alot of us have just about had it with winter, the warm weather cannot come soon enough!

I burnt my tranny, but I think I should be good to go on this.... I am pretty sure Ill have my car back, where can a New Yorker meet up with someone to go?

[Irish_in_a_RX8]

The starting point is at a place called Core Creek Park in Langhorne PA. Directions and times are on the club site. There are another few meet points too, but for NY folk, I'd say this would be a good spot. Its close to Turnpike and 95! If you unfamilar with the area, you should find it to be a great day trip. Plenty to do in the region and if your taking a guest/friend/wife etc along they should enjoy it too!

I cant say these roads are as curvy as we would like them to be, so its not really streching the limits of our RX-8's, however it will be a good drive.

Lets hope the weather works for us..

Not too bad actually.. With snow tires it drives really well.

[Irish_in_a_RX8]

This march really is bad for weather, unlike last year - hope it picks up by the 20th.

[Kel Rx8]

i agree weather sucks in jersey right now
i just heard another storm this week and i had plans to attend raceway park saturday

[Irish_in_a_RX8]

..its supposed to be on and off this week - i predict we should be ok on the 20th....we NEED to be ok for the 20th - I badly want to take off the snows!

Wayne

[chrism]

damn i just found out my wife is going in for surgery on her ankle on the 18th and i cant make it....im sorry guys....hope there are more meets in the future i could attend

[philodox]

Ugh, decisions decisions.. My first autocross race of the season is on the 20th.. convince me to skip it.. someone please :p

[Irish_in_a_RX8]

...are we all going to miss your turbo again Jon Even if you do miss it we will be having a meet at least once a month till Nov 2005!

[philodox]

Nah, I'll skip the first race of the year so I can go. I am allowed to drop one event for points. Since I'll be getting a big fat zero for this one, I think I'll drop that

[TPNova1]

DAMN!, I wanted to roll with you fellas. ...But I am getting my last bit of winter in and going skiing up in Killington VT. I'll surely catch you on the flip side, have a killer time! -Tim

[willhave8]

Wayne,

I am tentative. Haven't made an event since last March and would like to touch base with y'all. Will confirm by early next week.

Craig

[HeelnToe]

I'm a MAYBE, but I'll know for sure soon.

I dunno though, it's reeeeeeeally outa my way, lol...

I run those roads from Trenton north every day, especially up and around Bowman's Tower. Very pretty. Some are quite entertaining. The NJ portion is my snow route, which I unfortunately need to take in about 20 minutes. Hope the Pirelli Snowsports keep doing their good work

If you can find a way, you MUST drive Wrightstown Road coming up off of 532 (turn onto 532 off Taylorsville, go up hill, first right). If not during the outing, just take a cruise. Those first few miles... oh my...

[Irish_in_a_RX8]

HeelnToe : yeah, well dependant on who gets together on the day we could always take that route back. I have taken 532 a few times and enjoy the corners!

Will : Its been awhile, would be good to see you again!

Everyone : The weather is so unpredictable right now, the day may be tentative as well. Even if it turns out to be a chilly day, I am hoping for dry roads and blue skies! We should have a better idea by the middle of next week.

Wayne

[Irish_in_a_RX8]

Everything looks good for Sunday at 12.30! I'll send out a group email towards the end of the week to confirm. You must be on Premium RX-8 tri state member to be on our mail list for those that may not be aware!

All the best

Wayne

[Chino075]

Hhhmm....seems like I will be able to make it, after doing a counter-offer to my gf :D So wayne, better make those crab fries to go

Al

[Irish_in_a_RX8]

We appreciate you wanting to come down chino! Its a nice area..positive you'll have a good day!

[HeelnToe]

Is it still on? The forecast for sunday is looking like rain now

Are ya plannin' on hanging out at Bowman's Park? Or just passing by? Just thinking it'd be a good picture opportunity with everyone in one place...

[Irish_in_a_RX8]

I just checked the forecast and will send out an email late tonight or tommorrow. I hear its 50% rain right now...sometimes the forcasters are wrong though...
