For anyone coming up from south jersey or that lives in central jersey i say we form a caravan to meet up with everyone else at route 80. i'm in the princeton area, so any central point will probably due, and i'll PM some members to get an exact address for the meeting point up north. It looks like i'll be leaving pretty early in order to meet up with the other caravans. As of now i'll be out of the country for the next 10 days so when i return i'll square up the final details for everyone.

PS. if any P.A. members are interested in coming let us know and i'll try to find a meeting spot that accounts for everyone's location.


24 days and counting.....

 

Let me know what your plans are, dr. I'd be going up 295 to 31 probably.

 

that's actually perfect, i live off 295 (10 mins from 31)

 

PM me when you get back. Where you headed? Im off to the UK in August.

 

off to puerto vallarta in 48 hours

 

I'd be intersted. I live right off 295 in Mount Holly. Last year I rode of with something like 24 Rx7's that met up at the Home Depot.

 

i;m right outside of Trenton on the PA side

 

Im in the AC area - will be heading with an 8 and someones 7 (i think)

 

bump
i'm back in the good old USA. i picked up a decent tan and a crazy hangover in mexico, but all is well. As for a meeting place i was thinking the AMC theaters off the sloan ave exit off 295 (exit 65, take sloan ave east and its the very first thing off the highway.) From there mapquest of quoting me about an hour and a half drive to island dragway, so i'm thinking meeting at the movie theater lot around 8:00 to 8:30 then rolling out.

If we time this right we'll arrive pretty close in time that chrism's huge group is arriving, but can anyone verify an exact starting time for the rotorfest to open its doors?? is it 10:00 am or 11 am?

one last thing here's the exact address to the meeting spot:
325 sloan ave
trenton, NJ 08619

Roll call:
1. Dillsrotary
2.

 

also second note there is a dunkin donuts a 100 yards away if you need your morning fix for the long drive (+1 for me)

 

Any chance of us meeting up with Chrism's group at that mall & riding via I-80 with them? They're meeting there (Paramus?) at 10. Isnt 830-1000 enough time for us to get there to meet up with them? Or, we can just meet them at the track...all 2 of us (so far).



Roll call:
1. Dillsrotary
2. DukeGG1

 

I should be able to ride up with you guys. I just have to check with the people that are coming along for a ride.

 

if everyone wants to meet up with chrism's group then i'll change the meet up to say a home depot on route 130 thats right by exit 7a on the NJ turnpike, then we can take the turnpike up to meet up with chrism's group (which i'd rather do anyways.)

 

I must have been reading your mind, dill!
Keep me posted, thanks.

Where are you guys meeting up with the RX-8's in the north?

 

exit 48 off of interstate 80, here's the link
https://www.rx8club.com/ne-rx-8-forum-29/its-official-rotorfest-2006-%40-island-dragway-7-23-06-a-85353/

just remember the directions giving my chrism is to where rotorfest is being held, not to the parking lot pictured.

 

I plan on riding up with you guys. The only thing that will change that is if it rains. I don't think I want to chance taking my car onto that field if it is raining.

 

Dill: Let me know what to do once I get to 7A to meet you at Home Depot. I'll be coming up 295 & already be on 195. Do I stay on 195 or exit first to the store, etc.? I'll be there anytime you say. 845 or so? PM your cell # to me & I'll do the same in case there's any problems (like I get pulled over for my tints & that slows me down). Thanks.

 

still on for tomorrow, i'll be checkin the site regularly through the day. anyone else interested just post or PM me. 24 hours to go

 

Im still on as long as it's still on. Looks like the weather will be better in that part of the state tomorrow, altho' I bet the field is muddy.
Had the car detailed today in the rain!
If I have any ?. I'll give you a call on the cell.

 

sounds good, someone should bring some rope too because alot of lowered cars will get stuck in the muddy grass.

also i was lucky enough to wax the car thursday night and get the cover on it, so i'll probably wake up pretty early and double over it one more time.

 

I'll just bring lots of towels to wipe the 8 down, I guess. Maybe I should put the winter tires back on?

 

same meeting spot again this year...
as far as the mud... its gonna be worse this year...
im parkin the seven on the race side this year... just payin the extra dough to run her all day...

 

48!....pay attention and stop trying to get people lost!
