Cruise to June 30th Meet

[NJSPEEDER]

hey gang,
wanted to get started planning the cruise up to the june meet early. for those from the ewing/trenton/hamilton/boderntown area i was thinking we could all meet up in ewing and take the scenic route up.
time frame is about the same as taking the main roads, but much more fun to drive.
who's interested? where do you want to meet? what time do you want to leave?

[BonzoHansen]

In.

[NJSPEEDER]

will the 77 be ready to carve some corners on the way up?

[Rich189]

if its possible for me to get off ill be there

[Camvill]

[BonzoHansen]

will the 77 be ready to carve some corners on the way up?

I don't see why not.

[BTK79]

I'm in .

[CALL911]

I'm in if its on a night I can join up. If you are planning for a meet say on Saturday June 9th, or possibly the 15th (Friday), I would be interested.

Seriously Boderntown?!?!?

[CALL911]

As Rich 189 already knows, my car threw a blower belt yesterday. After calling around, no one carries the needed 12 ribbed 42" belt, so I'll have to go through ATI (unless anyone knows who would carry one locally).

Long story short, no track for me on the 12th, as well as no meet :-x

[BonzoHansen]

Long story short, no track for me on the 12th, as well as no meet :-xThis meet is on the 30th. You mean the monthly CNJ chow down on the 12th?

[CALL911]

I believe I did get those two confused :lol: . I should be able to make the 30th.

just use (2) 6 ribbed 42" belts! thats what MacGyver would do :D

[CALL911]

If MacGyver did that, he would be looking into a 12 rib shortly after, as 2 6 ribbed belts even from the same batch are almost always a little off in length, and it would schred the one with the most tension on in no time.

I just overnighted the correct belt :mrgreen: , but am not sure if it will get here in time for everything. If I can make it, I'll be out, but the belt will get here last second, so theres a chance I might have to wait till next month to hang out.

No, he would have used fishing line & duct tape.

[Knipps]

No, he would have used fishing line & duct tape.

paper clips & chewing gum.

[BonzoHansen]

OK, WHAT IS THE DEAL-E-O?!?!?!?

Where are we meeting, what time, do we have a plan/directions, etc., etc., and so on?

Who is in:
1. Me
2. BTK
3. Call911
4. scooter
5. ??

[CALL911]

Count me in :). Just need also to find when exactly and where are we meeting.

[BonzoHansen]

So that's it, the 3 of us? LOL.

[PolarBear]

Im in even if I have to take the Solstice.... I have to start reading on this board more often.

[Camvill]

its like 2 hours away its not worth it >_<

[BonzoHansen]

Your loss.

[CALL911]

Where are we meeting? And what time? Without this, no one will show up :lol:

[BonzoHansen]

I dunno yet, Justin was supposed to handle that end iof it. I guess he's busy with the new wife & new job and other such distractions.... :lol:

[JL8Jeff]

its like 2 hours away its not worth it >_<

Dude, you can't chicken out of every meet up. It's not 2 hours away, 1-1/2 at the worst from our area and most likely less. I'm not sure if I'm in for the scenic route or not. It depends on how many stops and lights are on that route. My clutch leg may not be up for it. So what are the plans?

[BonzoHansen]

Clutch leg? Come on. Mine is OK. And you exercise.

Camville won't come, there is no donut place. LOL.

[rscamaro73]

Well, unless there's spare space, I'm following the tail end in the Xploder with ya'll....

Now where 'exactly' are we meeting up at.....and who's got directions ??

I work out of Pennington now and drive ALL OVER NJ so this will help me learn the area a lil bit more....getting Princeton down pat now ;)

[BonzoHansen]

If Justin doesn't pop up with some directions, I'll worm something together tomorrow night.

You're welcome to ride up with me in the 70 if you don't want to be seen in the Xploder.

I can offer a good shift leg too if you need a spare driver ;)

After all, I do have a "tow truck" motor in my 73....:twisted:

Plus, I can help with navigation...and a couple bones for petro :mrgreen:

[Tru2Chevy]

Everyone wanna meet up at my place in West Trenton? I'm right off of 579, and that's the first part of our trip, so it makes sense....

Here's a link to a map showing my apartment: Map (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=86+yorkshire+circle,+ewing,+nj&sll=40.26991,-74.79993&sspn=0.197517,0.458679&ie=UTF8&ll=40.256964,-74.806037&spn=0.024694,0.057335&z=15&om=1)

When you make the left onto Yorkshire Circle (Heritage Court Apartments) from Silvia St., make a right into the first parking lot, and park in the center. I say we meet up at 11:30ish, and plan to leave between 11:45 and noon. That will get us there right around 2:00 pm.

The basic directions are:

579 North
Make a left onto Rt. 31 (runs with 202 until the Flemington Circle)
Make a right onto 632 just North of Hampton and South of Washington
Merge right onto Rt. 57.
Make a left onto Airport road.
At the 'T', make a right onto 629.
Go straight at the light at Rt. 46, and continue onto Rt. 517 (watch your speed here).
Within a few miles after passing the junction with Rt. 80, make a right onto Rt. 603 (at the flashing yellow light).
When the road comes to a T, make a left onto 603/606.
At the next T, make a left onto Rt. 206 North.
Then we'll follow Rt. 206 to where it meets with Rt. 15 and Rt. 565, and the Chatterbox will be on our right at that intersection.

Total time of the trip should be about 1 hour, 45 minutes. Everyone should show up with a full tank of gas so we don't have to worry about stopping on the way up.

Anyone know what the forecast is calling for? I was on my way to the track yesterday, and it starting downpouring. It stopped later in the evening, but its raining again right now. Anyone know if this will be the weather for Saturday?

should be pretty nice

[BonzoHansen]

Thanks Justin, that works for me. 1130 at your house is good. Would you rather the train station so there are not a bunch of cars in your complex?

[Tru2Chevy]

Doesn't bother me, there is plenty of parking in our complex. Just park in the center island of the lot, or as close to my lifted black Cherokee as you can.

If I'm not already down in the parking lot when anyone shows up, just call my cell (609) 610-1241.

I thought we were going to be doing this earlier than noon. I thought we would leave around 10 am or so.

[BonzoHansen]

Yeah, that was my screwup - the meet is at 2, we planned on leaving around 12 - I thought the meet was at 12. I lied to you. Hey, you f**ed up, you trusted me.

[PolarBear]

Hey, you f**ed up, you trusted me.

.....remind me not to do that anymore :grin:

[rscamaro73]

.....remind me not to do that anymore :grin:


lol :rofl:

[CALL911]

2? I thought it was much later. How late will it be going on?

[Tru2Chevy]

2? I thought it was much later. How late will it be going on?

We will be meeting up there at 2, chilling for a little while, then heading inside to eat. Their normal cruise night crowd usually starts showing up between 3 and 4, and there are normally lots of nice cars still around at 8 or 9. You are free to leave anytime you want/need to though....

[WayFast84]

If I take the train to hamilton station can some one give me a lift to the meet?

[PolarBear]

If I take the train to hamilton station can some one give me a lift to the meet?

Yeah I am sure someone can. I will if no one else can do it, my car is only a 2 seater. Prolly going to take the Solstice tomorrow.

[Tru2Chevy]

I plan on leaving here by noon at the latest unless someone calls me to say they are running late. Just an FYI for anyone who is meeting up at my apartment.

- Justin

[CALL911]

I'm sorry I can't meet up, at least that early. Depending on how things go today, I might be out later though.

[BonzoHansen]

James, BTK is meeting me at my house at 11.

[JL8Jeff]

I'm about to check the rear on the 70 to see what the fluid is like and add some posi additive to see if it helps. As long as the 70 is ok, I'll either stop by your apartment Justin or I might just wait for you guys to roll by at the Mountain View Inn parking lot. If I'm not at your place by 12 then figure I'll be at the Inn parking lot.

[rscamaro73]

Sorry guys....a side job came up and I could use the $ (daddy needs a new set of stoppers on the 73). So I won't be headed out with ya'll.

But I will be in Lawnside doing fireworks tonight :mrgreen:

[BonzoHansen]

Don't blow you nuts off.

[WayFast84]

damn it.. this sucks. sorry guys..
