1.) WBT
2.) Bonzo
3.) PolarBear
4.) Rich189
5.) Tru2Chevy
6.) 88WS-6


Anybody else interested in going?

[BonzoHansen]

I might be if baseball allows me time. That is opening week for us.

[88WS-6]

Yes

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Maybe.

[coolmanvette75]

I'll be going there on a school trip. Will try to find out which day...

[WildBillyT]

Any day in particular for some of you guys?

[BonzoHansen]

I wont know until I get a game schedule, probably late march. so don't plan around me.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I may not be alive that far out :lol:.

I would probably wait until mid March and see. I think it's tough to tell all of our schedules that far out, and this is a pretty simple event.

[88WS-6]

Friday or Saturday is best for me.

[WildBillyT]

Just wanted to get it out there early so we can get a group together.

[Blackbirdws6]

I would prefer during the week just to avoid the crowds on the weekend. It's worth taking a day for me.

I was thinking the same thing too. The crowds on the weekends are massive.

[LS1ow]

id be down for during the week

[BonzoHansen]

I was thinking the same thing too. The crowds on the weekends are massive.

me too. i feel a blow off day in the city coming on....

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I might do a half day but I'm not taking a whole day off to go into a foul smelling, filthy, crowded, expensive city to go see cars I can see at a dealer.

Half day, maybeeeeeeeeeee

[WildBillyT]

me too. i feel a blow off day in the city coming on....

Bar, auto show, bar.

[BonzoHansen]

Bar, auto show, bar. steak:bertstare:

[LTb1ow]

More bar and steak, less stalker nick and biGal GM chat... in, week day prefarably, don't wanna kill a weekend day. :lol:

[88WS-6]

Bar, auto show, bar.

Ok I'm convinced. Do it.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Something to keep in mind....if anyone is going to the Run to the shore thing that I believe Scott and Jake went to last year...It's during this time period.

[BonzoHansen]

i'm off that friday. maybe I take thursday off too. nice

[Rich189]

Wed or Thursday would be awsome... Probably the least crowded on those days too... but I'll take a day whenever as long as I know in advance

[PolarBear]

Yeah, I would probably go too, weekday. I would need to know a little ahead of time which day too.

[WildBillyT]

So how is Thursday, April 12th for everybody?

[BonzoHansen]

I give it a tentative yes depending on baseball. I'll put in for the day off today.

[WildBillyT]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If enough guys can go Thursday I'll lock the day down now.

[BonzoHansen]

last night rich said thursday was probably good for him too.

[PolarBear]

Works for me.

[edpontiac91]

I would go, but I'll have a front row seat (without the crowds) as my company will be setting up cars for display about a week before the show.:w00t:

[The BIG Show]

would like to go, but.....
if i'm working by then, i probably wont be able to get the time.
if im not working i might not be able to afford it (sigh)
how would we all be going in?

[Rich189]

probably meet up in hamilton and end up taking the train I would guess...

[BigAls87Z28]

More bar and steak, less stalker nick and biGal GM chat... in, week day prefarably, don't wanna kill a weekend day. :lol:

Don't flatter yourself ****stick, I'll have enough of the show by the time press days are over.

[Rich189]

Don't flatter yourself ****stick, I'll have enough of the show by the time press days are over.

Must have missed something... I can almost feel the hostility

[Tru2Chevy]

Thursdays and Fridays are best for me, usually free both of those days.

- Justin

[88WS-6]

I'll try and put in today at work.

[89 Iroc-Z28]

1 the show isnt bad on the weekends i have gone on a saturday the past couple of years and on friday before that and it was fine
2 nick you might be able to see all the cars at a dealer, but you dont have the pressure to buy at the autoshow like at the dealers

[PolarBear]

If you like having to push past people constantly to see anything. I have been on both and weekends and usually Friday is NOT worth going to. Weekdays has a lot of people, but it isnt like you are all jammed in there. Most of the people going have been on both and agree weekends arent worth it.

[NJ346]

I'll be there Thursday as well working a booth for Rutgers Formula Racing. Not sure how much free time I'll have to walk to the floor, but it's definitely going to be an experience.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Whore.

[BonzoHansen]

I'm off thursday 4/5

[WildBillyT]

I'm off thursday 4/5

Cool. Too bad the show doesn't start until the 6th.

[PolarBear]

I am off Thursday 4/12 8-)

[BonzoHansen]

Cool. Too bad the show doesn't start until the 6th.

nuts. I was already planning to be off that day. Not sure I can do this then. For some reason I thought it was the same week. I was thinking it was the week of good friday, but it starts on good friday.

See ya there Pal.

[NJ346]

See ya there Pal.

What days are you going to be there?

[BigAls87Z28]

Press days are the 4th and 5th. I'll probably be there for both.

[sweetbmxrider]

Me too!

[BigAls87Z28]

Did you sign up? I think Nick will be there too.

[sweetbmxrider]

Yeahhhhh buddy!

[88WS-6]

I won't be able to make this.

[//<86TA>\\]

i'd love to go, but i dont think i can get off work. I'll have to see

[L695speed]

I'll be there, don't know when though, may try to get in on the press days as I'm looking for work and magazine work is appealing. No better way to make connections than on press days with them. I'll be sure to check out the Rutgers Formula Racing booth, maybe we'll meet there NJ346 if I go. Easier if I'm not with friends as they will be wanting to do other things.

As for getting there, I just park at the NY Waterways docks in Weehawken, hop on the ferry and you're right there. Bar, auto show, bar or bar, auto show, gentleman's club? :twisted:

Our booth won't be setup until the Saturday Show April 7th. As of right now I might show up either the 7th or 8th and definitely be there for the 12th. Either way, I'll post up later in the week when I figure out my finalized schedule.

[sweetbmxrider]

Y u no be there the 4th-5th?

[L695speed]

I looked around at trying to get in on press days, could either spend 60 bucks and maybe miss the connections at one of the private tours, or might be given hell about getting in. So I was looking at the schedule. Turns out they have a career fair for automotive industry oriented college students. I'll be there either Tues or Wed for that instead. May show on the first weekend to see the LeMay exhibit, but unsure on that part for now. Definitely going Tues or Wed.

[NJ346]

Y u no be there the 4th-5th?

Exams.

[PolarBear]

I dont think I am going to go now, I have stuff to do around the house.

Also I think Scott said he isnt going either.

[WildBillyT]

I am sick so I am out too.

[L695speed]

NJ346 I was there yesterday, hung around the booth for a bit, but no one was there.
Creative setup on the car, I love the waterbottle overflow. LOL. Hey it works, why not?

Yea we had a lot of people back out last minute and were scrambling to get people up there. I'll be up there tomorrow. And hey, the car was built by college kids, what do you expect? lol We usually place pretty high in competitions and that's really all that matters lol

If it works and places high its good enough for me lol. I am done in the city for now. Perhaps at a meet you can tell us the fun stories behind some of the crazier but not so crazy ideas in those things.
