ROTARYROCKET7

Well im just gauging some interests. I have spoken with a few 8 members, Will (WillsRX), Dave (416To212), Richard (emaillists) and others about a NYC rotary meet, so us 7 and 8 can meet before the official 8/13 meet at bear mountain. This way we can have a sicker caravan going up to bear mountain.

This wont be a bbq like NYRA's other meets but just a lil rendevous so 7 & some 8 owners can meet up.

Im Thinking Flushing Meadows park in Corona Queens. We have used this spot before its easily accessible.

If you 8 guys in NYC are down please let me know, cuz i can round up the 7 guys in a hearbeat, but i need to make sure that you guys will show up.

I have invited a few 8's before to 3 of our meets and so have had 0 come.

So again, anyone want to have a Rotary meet (RX-7/RX-8) in NYC, let me know ill set something up soon.

EDIT: Keep forgetting and LONG ISLAND TOOOOOOO!

ROTARYROCKET7

Animagix

sorry man, have a softball game this weekend... maybe i'll drop by since the field is on the way.

416to212

Jason. I'll be there!

I guess if I roll in I should see you guys. But if not I'm gonna call your cell. Oh and I need a sticker so please talk to your peoples.

I hope to meet a few 8's from NY. But more than that I'm looking forward to meet up with the personalities in what looks like a pretty tighly knit local club!

ROTARYROCKET7

Nah you can call me, you get one free directions call.

Its exit 11 on Van Wyck (I-678) going SOUTH, this is important becuase when your going on I-678 North, theres a problem with that exit (it dont exist). So its easier to get on Van Wyck going south to exit 11, follow signs for FMP.

When you enter the park youll see a stop sign, you make a left and keep driving around the man made lake till your adjacent to Grand Central Parkway.

Pre-meet on 110th-111th street on astoria blvd at 11:30am, to help those who will get lost (Recommended for first timers to FMP).

NOTE:
GOOD: If you take Cross Island to Whitestone expressway to Van Wyck or GCP to Astoria BLVD (Around Pre-meet) then Whitestone to Van Wyck

NOT GOOD: Take LIE to GCP East to Van wyck cause you will miss exit 11.
or GCP East To Van Wyck.

here are some visuals clues

Pre Meet



Flushing Meadow Park adjacent to Grand Central Parkway (BIG LOT)!~



Where are da RX-8's?

Bear Mountain has some sick roads to drive on. There are a lot of roads going through Seven Lakes drive and off of that have great "S" turns, horseshoe bends and curving roads. I haven't been there since spring but I use to go driving through there every Sunday morning. I am game if you guys are going to make a trip up. I live in the Northern NJ area. You should go early on a Sunday morning up there, other wise you will run into a lot of Bicyclists, walkers, hikers, and motorcyclists. Looking forward.

ROTARYROCKET7

Good thing our meet is on a SUNDAY loll

Im going up this sunday to scope out the area with some NY guys

Jason NYC

Jason.

I plan on making the premeet even though I know the FMP site. This way I can warn my girl which guys not to talk to before we get to the park - not because you guys are good looking (heck y'all are ugly like me) but because y'all look greasy and shady.

midlifer

Oh ya, sorry man. That's what I ment. No names just a rough number of how many showing up
