100 Car F-Bod Cruise

[GREZ28]

It clicked to my mind today, an idea.. And I am just throwing it up in the air to see what you guys think.. It's a ways from summer, but if we get a head start we might be able to do this. Get this club together at a certain check point, and then take it from there to are destination. I dont know, the shore, drive the entire park way.. But ofcourse without screwn around on the road with other cars, etc. That is the only way that this will be a true cruise..
And also invite other f-bod clubs as well..
So let me know what everyone thinks, and see if we could pull something like this together.:wink:

[creeper]

me and 4 or 5 of my friends with f-bodies would probably be in

[Fire_Chicken92]

[Knipps]

If I can get it on the road I'm in. If not, I'll go shotgun with a camera too. :lol:

[Slow-V6]

Id be game. I will let my old T/A club in Virginia Beach know. They like to do cruises up to Atlantic city during the summer and they might be game..

[emolineaux]

im in

[UserName]

im in just need to get my car runnin , but keep me posted i up for it

[NastyEllEssWon]

im in for thta

[FlyingDutchman]

count me in

[ar0ck]

Just have to pic a reasonable starting place and plan a good safe route. I'm game.

[69BirdX]

I say we do a tour if nj start in south go up north meet people on the way lol

[Slow-V6]

I like the idea of cruising the parkway!! Is there any roads the run along side the ocean from cape may on up??

[GREZ28]

Just have to pic a reasonable starting place and plan a good safe route. I'm game.
That is what I was thinking of. A reasonable starting point, or 2 that would be fair to everyone. I guess that would be somewere In central jersey. We also need to find a date that would be free of any event. And I guess a rain date also just incase..

Well just so you know, nothing will be fair on this site. Someone WILL complain.

[GREZ28]

Well just so you know, nothing will be fair on this site. Someone WILL complain.

I know.. We just got to do are best as a club, it wont be easy.. A cruise is to have fun together no mater what..

[GREZ28]

I like the idea of cruising the parkway!! Is there any roads the run along side the ocean from cape may on up??

Dont know much. I do know the road in front of cape may shore. And a little of wild wood.. Park way is easy.. Will figure it out..

[foxriderry]

im down if im still around ...park way may be a bad idea though ... lots of traffic and ure asking for trouble from the police im on the parkway all the time and they see me go by and it just screams pull me over mostly when im not doing anything wrong, route 9 runs pretty far north and south ... but thats mostly one lane ... just throwing that out there

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

No 3rd gens allowed right :moon: ?

[NastyEllEssWon]

why not try to have it an organized event like the time the troopers shut down the turnpike or the parkway for a stretch for the corvette owners cruise. i know a few high ranking people in the west trenton barracks that might be able to grease these wheels :nod:

[69BirdX]

sounds like a longshot but def worth a try

[NJ Torque]

could work..

why not have a meet and eat like the GONE cruises?

[GREZ28]

I know its tempting for the cops, but what can they do if you obey the rules and stay in the right lane.. Nothing right? Remember its a only a cruise, where not out there to temp each other or others.. If we stick to that will be just fine.

[transmaro93]

im in if my car isnt sold or torn apart by then.... sounds like fun...

[NastyEllEssWon]

would anyone be interested in turning this into a charity style event? i spoke with a friend with the State Police and said it sounds like an awesome idea but the only way your gonna get the NJSP involved is if there is a charity aspect.


is anyone interested in throwing some money in to donate to have a section of the parkway shut down for our specific cruise use.

heres footage to a similar event featuring vettes in NJ

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Corvette-Toy-for-Tot-Run_160992.htm

[Iroc-z86]

im in if my car isnt sold or torn apart by then.... sounds like fun...

x2....

[NjbadSS]

this is an awesome idea..I'm definitely in.. It would be sweet do do a shore ride, and definitely get a bunch of new pictures

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I might be down, as driver or passenger. Depending on starting location and when it is.

Not a bad idea! Why not.. But we do need everybody's thoughts on this. .
I have seen that footage.. They must have had a blast!

[sweetbmxrider]

we should go to philly and get cheesesteaks.

charity is a great idea.

[NastyEllEssWon]

well we'd need a bit more people to get interested in this. in the cruise some were driving at speeds of excess of 170 mph and there was 0 accidents. some stuck to the slower speeds cruising down and enjoying the ride, its all in the style you want to drive...but it deffinately seems something worthwhile to look into. id be willing to donate a c-note to rip ass down the parkway with the police ok :nod:

[KirkEvil]

Im down for a cruise. The parkway seems the most reasonable for gathering everyone. Estimate times for pulling into rest stops so everyone can group up

[camaro2you]

charity sounds like a great idea im still in.

[Tru2Chevy]

The event video that's posted above is FC Kerbeck's Toys for Tots run. There were a few hundred Corvettes participating I believe, but I don't know too many details about it.

- Justin

[FlyingDutchman]

Anyone have an idea of how much they raised? i mean to shut down part of the parkway it must have "cost" a good amount $$$

[NastyEllEssWon]

well i figured it would probably be a donation of like 100 bucks per car. a few hundred cars. they raise a few grand for some parkway charity raising. sounds like it could swing again. this time with the fbodies woot

[madness410]

whoa whoa whoa haha...i have no problem supporting the NJSP but 100$ a car is pretty steep, and its not really a garuntee that they will close off part of any roads for us.

I do like the meet and eat idea like the GONE people do, maybe we can have a car show like they do and raise money for something to attract people. but i mean thats going way off topic for a 100 car cruise as the original idea was.

[NastyEllEssWon]

im just guessing at how much they donated per car. i was just throwing that out there in case anyone wanted to set it up as a speed unlimited cruise which would be fun. it would be kinda tough to roll down the highway 100 deep with normal traffic patterns

[z28rob18]

yea it'd get a bit broken up but im down and depending on the date my bro might be able to bring his. any dates in mind? and we gonna cruise the parkway and meet in one spot lik a show?

[CHRIS67]

Why not do it post F body nationals? Eveyone is there already. :idea:

[BonzoHansen]

organize a cruise to a north meet. or a central meet

[Slow-V6]

Or a south meet!!

[69BirdX]

south meet sounds good ha ha.

[01SS]

count me in

[FlyingDutchman]

how about a north and south gathering and meet in the middle maybe maybe

[sweetbmxrider]

$100 per car is insane. it won't work like that ever. if something happened, oh wowowo NJSP would be fuuuuucked!

[GREZ28]

Wow $100 bucks if it is will be tough.. It might be hard for quiet a few in here with the financial crisis going on these days.. People will back out.. We should think about this one..

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah and you spend less at tracks and have a safer atmosphere. we should see if we can get in on the toys for tots vette run. doubt it but maybs :shrug:

[Slow-V6]

I love NJ!! Like I said before I am down for meeting anywere. Central Jersey would be perfect but I would also travel to North Jersey. New brunswick area would be perfect for a meet!

[NastyEllEssWon]

im running it past a few people to see what it would take. the 100 bucks i was guessing what the vette people probably dropped down. chill money.



we can organize it as a regular cruise without any sponsor but the traffic is gonna be gay and a cluster**** of ****

[z28rob18]

thats y you hav a cruise to a nice big meet then if it gets broken up everyone eventually meets in the end

[TaKid455]

sounds like a good time. I'm in. I would nix the GSP or NJtpk. just my opinion. A cruise to saratoga springs or to race track or winery by the finger lakes would be neat. Watkins glen???

[jin1481]

cruise Ocean Drive from AC to Cape May. Lots of stop lights, but if we are cruising isn't the point to just enjoy the drive. Plus all kinds of people will be able to see the cars and stuff.

not everyones old enough fo winery's

[Knipps]

Not to mention drinking & driving = bad idea

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_Drive_(New_Jersey)

lol that means 70 percent of the board has to drive down to a/c just to cruise to cape may. thats pretty moot. it would have to be more centralized for everyone to come.

[jin1481]

well i think a shore cruise would be awesome

[camaro2you]

well i think a shore cruise would be awesome


I agree something cruiseing the coast from ac to cape may would be a great time.

[NastyEllEssWon]

haha well im out

[Knipps]

haha well im out

there's a real surprise

[jin1481]

im sorry all the good shoreline is in the south, maybe if all that filth wasn't washing out of NYC you north guys could have some nice beaches too

[GREZ28]

There are more beaches guys.. Barnigate wich is a very long island and a ton of things to do, and does kinda fall in the midle of jersey. Island beach state park thats another good one. Belmar further N, thats another good one.. That is all abouts in the midle jersey. I love Cape May but it might be a little ways for some of us here. I have been to every one of them shore lines and there really good spots. (I do alot of surf fishing:mrgreen:)

[tastyle88]

is in!!!

[5.7TA]

Currently deployed overseas for a year, however depending on when this would be, I would be down for something like this. I'll need more specific dates since I only get 15 days at my half way point for R&R, before I need to be back here again, so planning is crucial. 8-)

[FlyingDutchman]

Island Beach State Park sounds great...big open parking lot makes for a great show:wink:

[Slow-V6]

I would say anything from Atlantic City Up would be the best location for everyone.

[91chevywt]

I'd be good to go as long as my car is running and everything is in good shape then

:w00t:

[CamaroJoe1987]

ill do it if mine is running good enough

[FBODS4EVER]

im in. probably bring the dd 95 bird. not show quality. but still an fbod. my 3gens may be done. depending on when the cruise is.

[fallenleader]

my firebird is in crap condition but if i get it back from the shop in time and it still runs. i might be able to join.

i'm in somerville nj, central nj. i know all the major highways in nj though so it'd just be a factor of distance and location.

she has no a/c so it'll be a damned killer.
my woman and her 06' suzuki aerio would follow with.

Edit: i can get to the point pleasant area. about 56miles from me. maybe a bit farther.
i will need to find money for gas, thats all i can afford. if its a cruise, i held up with another car running down to the pine barrens to do some 4wd. keeping a crapload of Fbodies together wouldn't be too hard. hold up keep speed and dont let the line break up too much. the parkway isn't always too bad. lots of lanes. island beach state park? damn summer traffic around the shore roads will be absolute hell.


EditEdit: would it be ok to invite another class of cars, if any of them are interested? www.aeriostyle.com

[T96-Iroc-z]

in and three others probably too

[GREZ28]

We have lots of time to arange all this, its only Feb.. Like I said this was just an idea that came to my mind, and from what it lookes like we are getting quite a few good feedbacks in here. IBSP is just an area that I was thinking as many others I pointed out.. I have been in IBSP before, and yes it is hell to get thrue them gates when summer comes along, and I very much doubt that will be going thrue them gates. So lets just keep on plugn for now and see what will we come up with. I am thinking that about end of April will be a good time to give an actual date for the cruise. And we need to make sure that there are no major events going on, on the date that we will agree to.

[fallenleader]

again, can i invite anyone running the suzuki cars? it'd be more people and more to look at.

[NJSPEEDER]

Maybe, have to see how and when we can put this together. I am talking to those in charge of a few other regional F-body clubs to see if we can work out starting and ending points and a charity for hte event to support.

[Mike]

there are suzuki aerio enthusiasts?

[GREZ28]

Man, I dont know what to tell ya.. If it's not a problem with others and you really have no other way of joining (tailgate). Then I could say its ok.. But try to get that firebird on the road man.:wink:

again, can i invite anyone running the suzuki cars? it'd be more people and more to look at.

[fallenleader]

there are suzuki aerio enthusiasts?

you should see the puerto rico transformer club. their aerio's are nuts.
http://www.aeriostyle.com/
we're crazy. went into the pine barrens with the AWD and ended up in cranberry things. all scratched up and in mud but didnt get stuck.

and the aerio's, if any wanted, would just be extra cars, bigger group. it doesn't matter to me, i will have 1 though because i have a family and the firebird's back seats are not for full grown adults.

i can't donate to a charity though. and will only join up if the bird is running, she has a bad carburator, they said replace, i said how much, i said i'm broke. will it hurt it? forgot the answer.

Edit: stalls when cold, runs when hot and was driveable when went into shop for lots other work. "strangly passed inspection with flying colors"

[NJSPEEDER]

We have to see how the planning goes before we can decide how many cars we are going to have space for.

[fallenleader]

space? the nearest walmart parking lot should hold 200+ cars. seriously though, what type of event and space will be there and needed? preliminary of course. i was half expecting a drive down the highway, a stop look about the cars, a little hey what did you do to yours, hey yours is nice, and then a bye bye. nj beaches cost money as far as i know, and crowded. so that should be a no.

if you randomly pull into a retail businesses parking lot with over 100 cars, they will have major issues with that. it prevents CUSTOMERS from being able to park

We will come up with something and it will be nicer than a Walmart parking lot.

[Mike]

poker run ftw

[fallenleader]

hahaha lets all go buy a pack of gum. i am trying to add a little humor, walmart was a joke. seriously though, you're planning on 100 cars? that'd be the biggest meet i've ever been to, biggest i've seen organized as well.

and what is "poker run ftw"?

[BonzoHansen]

whew, for a second I thought this was devolving into some ricer-tough guy-wannabe-street-racer-meet-in-the-mall-lot-at-11pm-like-criminal-retards type of deal.

[NJSPEEDER]

Poker Runs are when you drive from point to point, stopping along the way at various locations. Each stop you get a random card from the deck they have at that spot. At the end of the run, whoever puts the best hand together wins a prize.

easy part first, ftw= for the win

a poker run is a cruise where you figure out certain checkpoints (5+) along the route. at these checkpoints everyone participating gets a playing card (hence the "poker" name) and once at the final meet location, the person with the winning poker hand wins.
its something done as a fundraiser or charity event, where the winner, or top x amount of finishers take so much money, and the rest is donated to whichever charity the event is for

[Mike]

whew, for a second I thought this was devolving into some ricer-tough guy-wannabe-street-racer-meet-in-the-mall-lot-at-11pm-like-criminal-retards type of deal.

lets doooooooo it

[fallenleader]

poker run sounds fun. and no the guys i know plus me are not ricers. we have little lunchbox cars but they don't have coffee cans on the asses. the one was stripped out for autocross and mine was polished up real nice. the biggest thing is a new custom turbo that should put us up to over 200hp. they don't street race. and personally i make fun of those rusted out cars with a big muffler and a 12yrold at the wheel.

a photo of our trip into the pines. this was on a road. not on the trails we had to reverse out of. it was for kicks. the other is a photo pasted on my firebird, its not photoshopped just waxed well. the aerio was shined up for show at an autocross at raceway park.


i digress, done explaining that its not a daycare.

[GREZ28]

Poker run? Let make it "Bull Run":burnout:

[fallenleader]

i'll do any run. but i can only go so far, how would that work?

[Knipps]

i'll do any run. but i can only go so far, how would that work?
quit and go home when you stray too far?

[fallenleader]

yeah. it'd depend on how long till her and my son got bored or tired.

ah well, im filling the topic so i'll sit back and read/watch untill we get further details or a post is made directly to me.

it does sound fun though.

should offer this up in the thirdgen.org site and see if anyone from there wants to go. whoever is taking charge of this can do it, i don't want to mislead people.

[NJSPEEDER]

Let the people on TGO know about the club and what we have going on. The more the merrier.

[GREZ28]

i'll do any run. but i can only go so far, how would that work?

I was just j/k about Bull Run. Its that show on tv. Going the distance..

[fallenleader]

thought you said ball run. didnt know what that was either. no don't like bull run tv show.

Edit: i may need my eyes checked, been a WHILE.

[SilverDropTop]

I'd be in.

[DevilDougWS6]

im in. you need to take charge of this and plan out a LONG route from start to finish. no making up **** as you go, then when we start the cruise you or someone who knows the route is the lead car.

[BonzoHansen]

^ what he said, including test trips at the same time of the day you plan to go.

[NJSPEEDER]

It's under control.

[noboundreez2345]

I'm down will keep checking in for new details

[emolineaux]

yea ill be down ill have some new wheels hood and ss wing mounted up shortly

[NastyEllEssWon]

awaiting delivery of my new fbody. this puts me back in

[IROCZman15]

sounds awesome, im totally in, i'll save us some of my days off to use if im scheduled to work. sounds awesome, i'll bring the 87 iroc for sure, and ihave about 4-10 other fbodies who would be interested.. some may go, some would LOVE to go..

how about a cruise to ENGLISHTOWN RACEWAY PARK or sumthing? they have lots of space on the grassy area, we could watch some racing.. its SOMEWHAT of a central location, and might work out cool on a day where the tracks wouldnt be packed for a major event...we could cruise a good 50 miles or so before / after etc...just an additional idea to throw in the mix

[CamaroJoe1987]

keep me posted on it

[JW]

Dumb Question, what do we do for gas stops for those of us getting 10mpg?? lol

JW :D

[NJSPEEDER]

We suggest you tune your car properly :p

It won't be a long cruise the way things are shaking out. Enough to enjoy, but not enough to require a bunch of gas stops.

[fallenleader]

if everyone went to raceway park, it'd be a meet for some of us. still fine, raceway is awsome. do it on an open night so some can run the track, those who would already know the regulations.

[NJSPEEDER]

This isn't a track kind of thing we are working on. A lot of us do go to the track regularly, but this event won't have anything to do with a track

[fallenleader]

im not a tracker. was just saying since it was suggested that everyone go there. ;) i have no say, nor want any.

[foxriderry]

ok so im not trying to offend anyone but we all live in jersey and we all know the shore in the summer time is gonna be stupid packed ... so why dont we do something like high point ... we can all meet somewhere in like central cruise up the parkway to rt 46 take 46 to 23 take 23 all the way to the point and if anyone here has been on 23 you know its a kick ass road and you can do one better ... take it through port jervis and along the scenic biway along the Deleware to hawks nest if anyone knows what im talking about i had the absolute best time of my life up there with my car the view is amazing nice little town and if you've been to high point you know the photo opps are unbeatable and better than beach as much as i love the shore toss that one back and forth i think that seems more pheasable

[fallenleader]

a lot of people are from south jersey, and im from somerville which highpoint is still an hour away.
probably more in the bird since she likes to relax and not speed. weird car...

[foxriderry]

is an hour to long? i mean it would obviously be a full day thing ... but at the same time im from up north cruising all the way down south would be a rough one ... but like i just dont really see the shore as a great place i dunno maybe its just me

[fallenleader]

i left it out of my post, its not too long for me. but too long for someone debating a run down from atlantic city to the beach.

north would be a second meet.

[NJSPEEDER]

the early planning looks like it will be around 1.5 hours of driving. As soon as I can iron out a few details I will post it all up.

[IROCZman15]

i can get a few other fbody guys (non njfboa) members to come along...if they are allowed...or is it just a club thing?

[fallenleader]

it was far as i know, open to all fbodies?

the aerio's are lazy and wont go.
and i just put the numbers together, sorry because money has gotten so tight, i probably wont have my girl back till summer. thats like 5months in their lot without holding fees.

[Tru2Chevy]

i can get a few other fbody guys (non njfboa) members to come along...if they are allowed...or is it just a club thing?

Nothing we do is ever restricted to club members only.....bring friends / relatives / significant others / etc. :)

- Justin

[NJSPEEDER]

But feel free to get them to sign up :)

Even if they don't feel like participating in the forums they will be on the our e-newsletter mailing list so they can stay up to date on all of our planned events

[dmheer08]

count me in!!! this is goin rock! IROC!!!

[chevyt454]

when and where???

[B4C]

I'm in now that I got an f-body

[slaptastic]

I'm in, whenever and where ever.

[thunder]

im in

[IROCZman15]

any updates or ideas? just curious as i'm looking at my upcoming work schedule, trying to figure out if i can make it

[Jam]

I'm in either with my current z28 or a new ws6 .

[84z350crate]

whats goin on with this it would b a lot of fun

[Syzygy]

i would love to play

[NJ Torque]

do we have any word on whats going on...?

[GREZ28]

I was told that the cruise will be up soon.. Hold on to your ponies..:wink:

[IROCZman15]

awesomeeeeeeeee

[noboundreez2345]

Any news on the cruise? I'm definately game just eager for details.

[NJ Torque]

hmm...

[zuuhlsT/A]

:shrug: What's the deal?

[FlyingDutchman]

the suspense is killin me :shock:

[MyFirstZ]

i would take part of the cruise but i dont know if i would do the whole parkway, plan a route and maybe a few stops to for a cool off

[GREZ28]

Guys, I dont know what is going on.. When I first put the idea out in Jan almost 90% of us loved the idea.. I was told by moderatores that this event would be put together. I got in touch with them again and I was told within a couple of weeks the plan would be up.. It has been 2 months now without a response.. I would love to see something like this too take place, but the way things look i dont know, June is around the corner.. I would recommend to get in touch with them and see.

[Syzygy]

do it, my car is getting all antsy.

[1998chevycamaroz28]

im game if i dont have work

[68bird]

Let me know when if mine is done by then, then I'm in I might even talk my two buddies in to it

[FlyingDutchman]

anthing yet?

[GREZ28]

Dont think so.. I tryied to get in touch with one of the moderatores for quite a while now and quite a few times but no response what so ever... Its like the cold shoulder:-?..
I have no idea what is going on.. I would say the "100 F-Bod Cruise" is dead in the water.. Everything looked promising too! We did have alot of good feed back on this thread, and just from this one club wich is great!!!...
They did liked the idea, and they said we are going to do this, and that, and map everything out... yadayadayada! :|
It would be nice to know what is going on...
Well, I guess we could still do this one day in the near future.. But if you guys want to push it for this summer I would recomend to get in touch with them..


anthing yet?

[MyFirstZ]

why dont we just organize one on this forum. Seems like we had alot of feedback just from our guys. May not be as much, but we can always just post up on our other forums trying to recruite more people. I just need to know a day so i can take off of work and get about a hundred bucks to blow on gas.

the problem is co-ordination of such an event you would have to notify local authorities as to whats going on...there might even be red tape and hoops to jump through beings it might possibly be considered a parade of some sorts.


the biggest problem is that when these events are done by other organizations theyre usually for charity and require some sort of donation to get the ball rolling and eyes to look the other directions.


cant spin the wheels if you dont grease the bearings

[MyFirstZ]

ah. Never knew any of that. Well im willing to donate or do whatever i can to get the ball bearings spinning on this turbo. Had to change it from wheels 8]

I have had no part in planning for this event, but one of our other staff members has been working on it, and just has had to set it aside for a short while. We still are hoping to pull this off this year.

i think if you read the thread you would notice how people are willing to donate money for this. it's been mentioned before.

[NastyEllEssWon]

go to page 3 when everyone starts dropping out cause it might be a bit of a donation. im guessing anywhere between 50-100 a car would get the ball rolling. i have quite a few connections very high up in the state police and can help get the ball rolling...but its gonna have to be a charity event.


whatever moderator that wants to put this together is more than welcome to contact me and i can do some legwork on finding out what it will take. :nod:

[BonzoHansen]

Just take some initiative and do it yourself.

[NastyEllEssWon]

i didnt want to go running around poking my nose into things on the behalf of njfboa without some sort of ok with it.

[BonzoHansen]

Don't do it under our name, just do it.

[NastyEllEssWon]

subbing... just in case this thing ever gets under way

[firebirdcrazy]

Too bad we couldnt organize this to head to the Gm Nationals in carlisle.. They have been trying for years to get the Firebird community to come out and show up the camaro for once..The most they have gotton was just over 200 firebirds when almost 700 camaros show up.

If you want to take the initiative to work with GREZ28 and plan it - go right ahead.

Why would anyone here be interested in a show less than 3 hours away with over 800 camaros & firebirds plus lots of other GMs? LOL

Seems the idea was dropped by the person who took over the planning.

i dont see why we cant just all meet somewhere and take a drive...its not illegal to drive, we dont need to organize anything with police, we dont need them to block off roads or anything...just a bunch of guys getting together and driving there cars

This seems like the best idea. only planning necessary is where to meet. Charity is fine but personnally i dont have 50-100 dollars to spare just to block some roads for a drive that everyone could take for free. Yes it would be neat without everyone having to get split by traffic and traffic lights. But the just meet and drive for a few years same show same route would show the true interest of members whe it comes down to actually showing up and doing the drive. You can get 100 yays then only fifty people show up. This would give some key planners an idea of if it would be worth tryig to organize the cost and work of shutting roads down. Everyone is always all for everything till plans change, or its to cold or its rainy. A few years of just meeting and going would allow interest to build and a better preview of what it could be like.

[BonzoHansen]

Organize a cruise to a meet. People do it all the time, it ain't that difficult. The October meet is a great location to cruise to.

[sekret agent]

well if it happens im in

[IROCZman15]

im in as well, i'll take off work or whatever.. just dont do it in january when everyone's car is down for work/repair.. lets do this, doesnt have to be a major route in nj, maybe just a loop in central jersey wher everyone can caravan to and crusie homt to as well..

[Jersey Mike]

Don't worry, I don't think it'd be in January. Likely in the summer when everyone can utilize the T-Tops and nice weather :)

[BonzoHansen]

We have meets every month. Organize cruises to those.

Did this go down yet? If not im down.
