RotorFest July 23- Ma. Caravan

Is anyone interested in a caravan to RotorFest on July 23rd? I am getting together cars from around New England to caravan down to the Holland Tunnel where we will meet up with a NYC Caravan and then head to Island Dragway in New Jersey.

We are meeting at the Charlton Exit on the Mass Pike early in the morning then heading down 84. Any one interested? We have 7 (+-) RX-7s for the Ma Caravan and NYC is going to have a lot more.

Whose coming with us?!

MEET UP WITH NEW JERSEY RX-8 CARAVAN
(this is where it gets tricky-i had to take these off the island dragway website cause my mapquest couldnt find it)
take I-80 to exit 19
bottom of ramp, take left
go approximately 6 miles into hacketstown
make a right onto Rte 46/Main street
follow for 7 miles
entrance to track will be on right hand side just past Cannonballs Go-Go

3 Hours 45 Minutes
222 Miles

Dont forget oil, tools, coolant, water, snack, your girlfriend, and if you have one, a walkie talkie so we can stay connected and tell jokes. if anyone wants my cell phone number to call me before and on the day of the meet, or to let me know they are running late, i will be happy to give it to you. good luck to all getting ready for this event, i know im not ready yet.

Clavius- id say 4 hours to get there, is there anywhere along the way you would like us to meet you? if not, please feel free to meet us at the Charlton Pike Plaza at 6:30a.m.
