Ahh, I should have been watching this thread. I'm here, got new toys on the car (Racing Brake slotted rotors, Falken RT-615 245/40/18, new CZ map, lowered, etc), but my sister is actually graduating. Last year she was moving out @ the end of the school year.

I'll take the for now, but I don't want to hear all your when I'm walkin you around NHIS this summer. Looks like I'll be there May 30th for the inagural day this year.

Be safe folks, the Vermont Staties have been on a rampage this year.

Yea, I gotta sort that out... I suspect as I'm limited on time to plan anything new, and the ride up last year seemed to work well... I'll probably just repeat last years root, stops, etc.

Ok, so that post was a bit lazy, this one is not much better... but here is the link to last years route and schedual... it worked well. Also is the link for the restraunt we stayed at...

Man I need some sleep.

Let me know who is intrested and I'll start a new list. As was the case with last years, if no one plans to be at NH Liquor store, we will probably just cruze on by, unless some one needs a drink. Can you say Tequila Rose?

As always radios for this will be on channel 8.

Hi Tigger,

Thank you posting a link to the meetup plan. I'd sure like to latch onto the caravan. I'll be driving in from Weymouth, and since I'll be on I-93, I think I can connect up at the NH Liquor store around 6:20.

I'll keep an eye on this thread for updates. Looking forward to the Run!!!

Deepak.

I honestly can't remember... but the restraunt is about 1:15 minutes away from our destination... so if we make it to the restraunt by 7:45 and are on the road by 9, we should be there a little after 10pm... which I think is about what happened last year.

I'll be there, just don't know what stop I will join in at. RT3 can be a bitch during rush hour. A few hours earlier would be great but whatever time is best for everyone will do. I'll let you know soon.

I'm afraid my attempts last year to organize anything earlier failed... It's hard enough for people to get out work a bit early, let alone several hours early. So I figure if I make it a bit after 5, and if people sneak out of the office a few minutes early... we can still make it up North before it is to late... despite a bit of a fight with rush hour traffic.

I hear ya about rt 5. Do it every day from exit 27 Nothwards... though now that it is 3 lanes, it's not as bad as it used to be... though Fridays are the worst with everyone heading North for the weekend... thank goodness it's not last weekend!

Bodi, the run is on Saturday, however many of us are comming from a distance and are going up the night before for a good night's sleep. It's a long day and starting out with a 2+ hour drive early in the morning to get to the run by 8:30am is more then my lazy a** cares to get up for.

Having said that, there is no problem with you meeting up with us first thing in the morning, you should be at the Hotel by about 8:20-8:30am... there are a number of things we need to do to get all the cars lined up, distribute maps, etc. But we should be leaving the Hotel sometime around 9:00am. Again, it is very important to be there 30+ minutes before the run actually leaves the Hotel!

If you decide you'd rather cruise up Friday night... you should join us! There is a group of us heading up Friday night, we meet in Nashua at 5:45 or around 6:20-6:30 at the NH Liquor store on 93. Just let me know so we will be on the lookout for you!

Can't wait to see all the 8's there! We will see you Saturday morning!
