South Meet Locations - We want your thoughts.

[BonzoHansen]

Ok everyone, we are looking to spread out to new places. Given the South meet in June is next, and that a lot of us are not very familiar with the area, we decided to start there. We had a good thread in the South forum about places to go, and this is the basic results. They also came up with the idea of a road trip type meet – a cheesesteak run. We will discuss that separately.

I included some info about each place, including maps and websites (where applicable). If this works out, we will try the same exercise for the other areas. Feel free to vote for any or all places you might want us to have a meet. We are trying to solidify some ideas for the future, be it next month, next year or beyond.

We have to note that we will give the locations with the highest vote totals primary consideration but this does not guarantee that we will go the #1 vote-getter for the next meet, or even ever. Circumstances such as restaurant participation (owner won’t save us parking, etc) or travel issues (not fighting summer/holiday traffic for a summer meet at the shore, etc.) will always play a part in our planning.

:mrgreen:

[DaSkinnyGuy]

I vote cape may.

Thanks

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

Even though the place is a stones throw away from my house, I hope we don't end up going to Nifty-Fifties. The food there is horrible, it is super small, and its pretty much a diner. I voted for Chickie's & Pete's, but I would even be happy just going back to Texas Road House, atleast they have good food and a lot of space for us.

[Mark B]

Chickie's & Pete's has gotta be even closer to you than Nifty Fifties. Your in AC right?

Either way... Im voting for Chickie's & Pete's simply for the fries. Although I could go for a Nifty Fifties milkshake too. haha

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Sonic, simply because it's the only one I'd be able to go to.

I use to live in AC...I still have my house, but I am living in Williamstown now. AC will be my pad for the summer weekends! :)

[Mark B]

Haha... Doesnt look like this poll is going to help much. The votes are fairly spread out.

That's why we need more people to vote

[98tadriver]

R-R-R-R-Rooooaadddhouuuuusssseeeeeee!

[ar0ck]

Whatever is the least distance from the North.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Whatever is the least distance from the North.

Sonic in Waretown AFAIK.

[sweetbmxrider]

sonics would be cool...

[98tadriver]

We have to note that we will give the locations with the highest vote totals primary consideration but this does not guarantee that we will go the #1 vote-getter for the next meet, or even ever.

Then why even have the vote?

[BonzoHansen]

Then why even have the vote?Um, the next sentence.

Circumstances such as restaurant participation (owner won’t save us parking, etc) or travel issues (not fighting summer/holiday traffic for a summer meet at the shore, etc.) will always play a part in our planning.

Plus we are looking to build a list of places for future reference. This is not just the next meet. I thought that was pretty clear. Sorry if it was not.

[98tadriver]

lol no it was pretty clear, but parking was always fine at the roadhouse, and they love us. especially when 20+ cars or 20+ people turn out :)

[BonzoHansen]

oh, we will always go to TR. I love steak.

[98tadriver]

horrrayyyy!

[sweetbmxrider]

TR=Texas Roadhouse or TR=Toms River?:lol::wink:

[jims69camaro]

Where do you think we should go?

a. Texas Roadhouse in Millville
b. Bennigans in Mt. Laurel
c. Adelphia's Restaurant in Deptford
d. Sonic in Waretown
e. Applebee's in Hammonton
f. Outback in Deptford (you are kidding, right?)
g. Chickie's & Pete's in Egg Harbor Twp
h. Nifty-Fifties in Turnersville

i. Frankie's Pizza and Italian Resturant, Route 9, Bayville - his parking lot is just big enough to accomodate 20 or so cars, but we could always take over the deli's parking lot, too (right next door) or the Ace Hardware store across the street or the Haddonfield Lumber parking lot, and there's even an Advanced Auto nearby. it's all within quick walking distance, and i do mean quick. there is always the foooodtown parking lot with a small spattering of smallish returants, but still within walking distance to Frankie's. Then there's the Shoprite parking lot, with another spattering of smallish resturants and fast food (Mickey D's, Wendy's, etc).

j. route 37, Toms River - pick a place, any place. Fuddrucker's (or whatever it's' being called this week), the Crystal Diner, the Toms River Diner, Mr. Breakfast (serves lunch too), Stewart's Drive-in, I-hop, Perkim's, etc. Don't forget about the ocean county mall with it's myriad of fast food places, plus an Applebee's.

k. manahawkin and LBI (think beach!) - name it, it's there on route 72 on the way to LBI. bad part? one way in, one way out. traffic is a motherlover.

l. south jersey - i mean, south new jersey, like rio grande or cape may. it don't get much more south than that. most people don't know or haven't been (in a while) to remember what it's like, but it's beautiful. hardly what you think of when you think new jersey.

[jims69camaro]

Haha... Doesnt look like this poll is going to help much. The votes are fairly spread out.

letting people choose more than one spread it out more than usual.

[sweetbmxrider]

[String]

[sweetbmxrider]

what happened to cape may and the lighthouse, etc.?

[Tru2Chevy]

what happened to cape may and the lighthouse, etc.?

They all but said they didn't want our car club in the county, let alone parked in front of their lighthouse.....

We'll still do something way down there at some point, but the idea of having a nice picture meet at the lighthouse seems to be out the window.

So are we banned from the county park or the whole damn county?

[Tru2Chevy]

We aren't actually banned from anything.....but they made it clear they didn't want us to have a meet at the lighthouse. I think they would prefer if we just stay out of the county all together though.

Sounds like an episode of The Dukes Of Hazzard! You know those Duke boys don't take highly to being kicked out of the county so they got some friends together and YEEEEHHHAAAWWW!

What a bunch of douches.

[DaSkinnyGuy]

I cant belive it everytime there is a meet I have something to do. If i didnt have plans I would love to be at all the meets. This month I am only open for june 21-22 but the meet is the 28th and I will be away in NC. The only car show i should be able to go to is the july meet. The august meet is out of the question because i leave for school and the next time i would be able to make a meet is spring 2010. I am dissapointed that so far this year I havent been able to make a meet. The last meet i was at was the 2008 F-body nationals. I know there are a few members here that would say that the only njfboa members that are "members" are those who come to the meets. But every single time there is a meet i have a legit reason I cant come either because I am working and cant take off or I am just simply away. I havent even been able to go to the local car cruises by me because i have been working. But eventually all this working is going to pay off.

I feel your pain man, i work nights and only have Thursday and Friday off. I miss all the normal mid-week stuff I used to go to, and rarely get to go out thursday or friday night due to family commitments.

I agree.

Lemme get this straight: we were told we are not allowed to publicly gather in a county park? So long as we aren't commiting a crime while we are there I don't think that their preferences have anything to do with the situation at all. You can't tell me that somewhere there wouldn't be a civil rights attorney licking his chops to get at this.
