Flushing Meadows is about an hour from me without traffic (I live near the Verrazano). Shouldn't be too bad of a drive I guess.

Is there any more info on the place? Police activities and if there are morons messing around that can get us into deep ****?

i'm down depending on when and where it is.

wednesday nights are Islandia meets.. And i don't want to get caught up with dumbass ricers either, that's why i don't go to the best buy meets in Roosevelt field.

i suggested the lot behind the ice sckating rink in flushing meadows park. i love that spot because its on a hill from the park road and because it would be a good photo op. plus what queens resident doesnt love looking at the unisphere?? lol

as far as cops i go to that spot about once a month atleast and ive never seen cops there. but aslong as we dont start **** like many have said than i think we'll be fine. and most ricers usually go to Astoria pool from what i know.

and like someone else stated, flushing meadows park would be a good spot because its not too far a drive for most LI 8's and especially not a far drive for NYC 8's and we dont have to pay tolls!!

p.s. there are speed bumps so be careful!!!

What other suggestions do you guys have for a place in QNS or BK?

Let's also see how many people are willing to go if it is a bi-weekly meet. Copy and put your name into the number after the person before obviously .


1. SNTP
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

1. SNTP
2. alz0rz (Wednesday or Thursday)

Shouldn't be that long SNTP, took me about 30 min to get off the Verezzano into that same area. Just take the Belt East till JFK, then take the Van Wyck up to the GCP and the flushing meadows park is a few exists off the GCP.

The only caveat about having the meet there would be that there is little to do, like food and stuff...

I drive like a grandpa . Yes I'm that moron driving in the middle lane at 55mph saving gas.

I was a little concerned about food and others things to do also. In Ceasar's Bay there is a Wendy's open til 1AM.
