[Jersey_TA]

Welcome to the site. Yeah, we always cruise to the little wawa since the big one is always crowded. The cops are usually nice when they ask us to leave the lot. I know where they all sit since I used to race down there. Not anymore though.

[Mike Something]

Welcome man, so now, when are these meets? Everytime I'm on Rt.37, I'm the only freakin Fbody there. I usually cruise around w/ my friends who have an Evo & a STi...

Welcome !

[Jersey_TA]

Welcome man, so now, when are these meets? Everytime I'm on Rt.37, I'm the only freakin Fbody there. I usually cruise around w/ my friends who have an Evo & a STi...

The next cruise down is on the 28th. I'll keep you posted. All the details where we meet are in the old TR cruise thread. We usually meet up at the little wawa on 37 around 9-9:30 then hang out until the cops ask us to leave. After that we just cruise to the stop and shop and sit on the mcdonalds side of the lot.

[transmaro93]

make a post a few days before for this meet with the details... i should be down... soo close and a chance to meet some f-body people...

anybody going out tonight?im thinking bout heading out but unsure yet

I was out there last night with my car and another 3rd gen parked on the opposite side of the gas pumps.I'm usually there every saturday night sometime between 10 and 12.

[Jared1970Chevelle]

speedmetal.... any idea who the green ta convertible is.... hes friends with the crew that fills the back of the pickup truck..... you see him tell him to get on this site so i can set something up.... or get his number and tell him the blue GTI with YELLOW LIGHTs passenger wants it to set a lil sumthin up with one of his cars....

we will be down there in a week or two for a little road trip.... my camaro...my friends cars that are coming are a 98 camaro,03 mach1, 06 cobalt ss, 95 camaro, 87 and 91 mustangs, 02 saleen convert, ctsv, and a few other cars.... all cars are on dr's few on the spray...2 turbo cars, and a procharged saleen.....

can we get races or do you guys that frequently go think it will be a waste of our time? whens the best night to come? anyone know the leader of the scene or the person with the big mouth cause id like to talk and set some races up....

lemmmme knowww

[Jersey_TA]

Just don't go down there on a holiday weekend. I used to go down there on thursday nights all the time and the cops were minimal. It just all depends. Damn, you are bringing alot of cars down.

[Jared1970Chevelle]

thats just the cars that are def. there will probably be alot more lol.... the night i got an invite down to the edison scene by the park i was told... then i told one of my friends from jersey city.... he told 2 people etc..... we were at a reststop on the tpike getting gas for about 40 cars probably all the cars from jersey city came the kids from staten island came lol... it was nuts we got down there and there was no cars except a grand national with a bigger turbo and a 94 cobra.... then the cops came.... some of the pics and races are on the race teams myspace page link in my sig...

thats why we wanna make sure there are cars down there.... we cant go cruise around in seaside with our cars... the cops just dont like them lol

[SpeedMetalT/A]

lemmmme knowww

I'll say somethin to him if I see him around.It sounds like he probably has a stock lt1 car and just thinks he has the fastest car around because he has no concept of what a fast car is.I also saw you said the car could have been black, I was wondering if it had a red interior because I saw a black lt1 convertible but it just sat there and I don't know where the owner was.

[Blacdout96]

Nah I remember it being hunter green, even as dim lighted as it was out. little does he know his car is also the heaviest outta any 4th gen model due to additional bracing and the motors for the top, etc. so even if it was stock, and went against a stock car, expect him to still be slower lol

[bubba428]

hmmmm when the 3.4 is back I wanna peice of this guy .... just because.....if I loose hell get ballsier and race one of u guys.....but if by some chance I won....O MAN I'd rip on this guy till he cried LOL

[Jared1970Chevelle]

im 90% its hunter green..... ill race him with my 3900 pound camaro convertible.... for gods sake i got a "5.0 TPI H.O." motor in it...duhh they never made 350s in the converts in my body style... ill run him heads up closed hoods a piece.... he should not have anything to stip hehehehehheheheheheh....


i just want to race him for money cause the simple fact he was picking on my boys gas mileage car...... the gti would probably smoke him... his other car is a turbo cobalt and that would def. smoke him..... but the main reason is cause the dumb seagull sounding girl thinkks that piece of **** she was sitting in was fast.....

now dont get me wrong theres rumors of a couple killers down there... some "7 second street car" and some 8 second malibu thats a killa..... the seven sec car is supposed to be a camaro or a firebird second gen... or so i heard.... anyone know him... ORRR if the car even exists?....

[Jersey_TA]

Hmmmm I might have to start rolling through the big wawa more often LOL

[Blacdout96]

Hmmmm I might have to start rolling through the big wawa more often LOL

Damn straight, thats wher I go.

[SpeedMetalT/A]

I've seen that 2nd gen camaro you're talking about.It's all primer black and has a 4inch cowl and slicks in the back and tiny drag radials up front.The actual night of the toms river meet he was at the big wawa and a guy in a newer mustang gt convertible wanted to race and he just laughed at him and told him there's no point because the gt was a stock convertible and it was raining out.He's an older guy too probably in his 40's.I never got to see the car go yet but it sounds pretty mean.

I talked to that guy about that Camaro. it's a 79 (my fav 2nd gen year) is pretty well one up, has never gone down the track. he said for 3800 you could buy the car without the motor, and 8 with the motor.

[Jared1970Chevelle]

is this the fastest dude down there.... and if its a single digit drive anywhere car tell him ill be down there with 8gs and a trailer this saturday hahahah sight unseen...lol....

theres supposed to be some twin turbo or single large turbo car down there... might be one of precision tuneings cars....

[SpeedMetalT/A]

I don't know if its true that he's around 8's or 7's.Everytime he's there he never does anything , it's either been raining or there's been cops in the parking lot and he just leaves I think he also knows the guy with the malibu you're talking about because I've seen him drive in with an 80's malibu following him in and it sounds worked too.What kind of car is the twin turbo one you're talking about?

[Jared1970Chevelle]

supposed to be a TT camaro i heard in the 2nd gen body style... but going on rumor.... there were a few cars from the TR scene out in staten island a night i was out there... a black 95 with some big slicks and a cage...some green camaro...and a few other cars...

[SpeedMetalT/A]

I'll be lookin for that car now.It should'nt be too hard too find being that turbo 2nd gens aren't somethin you see everyday.There's also some GN's that hang out around there that run 10's I should've mentioned those before.

[Raist103]

[Blackbirdws6]

I miss the times I would head down to Seaside/rt 37. Would love to come check out the crowds and cars but last three times I was in the area on 37...I got a freakin ticket. Nothing big mind you (usually tint and no front plate) but I don't know how some of you get away with it with cars that obviously look like they have something illegal going on. I don't even jackass around at all because I know the cops are out there and they still nab me lol. Maybe if I roll with a crowd they won't mess with me. Sounds like a good time.

Same here. Duals with dumps and loud. I've never been bothered the 5-8 times I've gone this year. I just do the speed limit(except once), and I've never been bothered.

must be my usual luck haha. Maybe I'll make an attempt sometime soon.
