June 2014 Meet - 6/7 Chatterbox Inn, Augusta, NJ

[BonzoHansen]

The Chatterbox has one of the best cruise nights in the northeast. We meet earlier in the day, so hang out and watch the cars pour in. Milkshakes!

When: Saturday 6/7/14 (rain date Sat 6/14)
Time: 3pm

Where: Chatterbox Drive In (http://www.chatterboxdrivein.com/)
1 State Highway 15
Augusta, NJ 07822
Tel: 973-300-2300
Map (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1+state+route+15,+augusta,+nj+07822&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=61.669968,114.257813&ie=UTF8&ll=41.119921,-74.711623&spn=0.00729,0.013947&t=h&z=16)

The manager said we will park in the same in the "modern muscle" area we have parked the last few years. He said there is a new fence in that lot, make sure all cars are either backed in reasonably close to the fence or close to the exit road so there is plenty of room for cars / spectators down the center isle

For anyone that posts up saying 'maybe', please try to update your status a few days before the meet if possible.

I'm in, hope it doesn't rain, I won't be able to make the raindate. Friend is getting married that weekend. But, we may have the 502 powered dually, and the GTA may show up.

[ThoR294]

Def maybe, I loved it last year!

I might bring my bike if my car isn't fixed yet... stupid sandy damage.

Also, if anyone is coming from the Flemington area, I'd love to meet up close so i can follow and not have to worry about GPS while on my bike :D

[TaKid455]

In + 1 Unsure of which TA at this point in time. We can meet at my shop like in past years and run up back roads to the meet.

[The_Bishop]

Bonzo, do you have a copy of my work calendar? All these meets are on my 24 hour shift days!

I'm going to have my own meet, with hookers and blackjack! On a day I'm not working!

All are welcome. 5th gens are Camaros to us just like any other Camaro.

[ThoR294]

Some stuff came up at home. I won't be able to make it this time :( </3

[Tsar]

Any OG NJFBOA people going to this?

[IROCZman15]

i will be there. new wheels wont be on the car yet, they should be shipping from CA tomorrow and will take 4-5 days to arrive

also.. just blew a head gasket on my 1995 jeep wrangler, (or warped a head0 so that thing is dead for the time being and might have to put some planned Camaro modifications on hold after wheels are installed. still planning on going to the Camaro Nationals in Maryland in a few weeks though..

[NJSPEEDER]

Change of plans. The proverbial has hit the air movement device so I will be stuck in the office all weekend.

Malibu79 and at least one other will still be attending.

-Tim

[enRo]

Any OG NJFBOA people going to this?

I might be able to attend. I have a wedding to attend to Friday, and some morning festivities on Saturday, so as long as they don't cut into the afternoon portion of my day, I'll be bringing Angry Fish. :lol:

[NJ Torque]

I may be able to attend...

[L695speed]

Larry, what time are we gathering at your shop Saturday?

[Tsar]

I hate to quote myself...but I just found out that this car show in Mt. Arlington is canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances"

however, there is ANOTHER local show tomorrow too, On rt 46 in Hackettstown actually At Rt 46 Chevrolet dealership from 9-3:30
http://www.blacktoprebels.com/events/EventDetails.action?event.eventId=8751&searchRun=true
and https://www.facebook.com/rt46chevrolet


so most likely I will be going to that one, and leave there to maybe meet up with the guys cruising to the chatterbox .. if I don't go to the car show, i'll just meet up with our group and cruise there. nick has my cell phone number if you guys are looking for me and im not there by the time you want to head out

[RiggsLW81]

late addition, (no work!) count me in plus one.

just so i understand the gameplan, everyones going at 3pm, or the event starts at 3pm? also, do i need to ask for specific parking for this club, or just ask for the modern muscle section.

thanks, looking forward to it!

The actual event for the club starts at 3. A bunch of us are meeting at a fellow member's shop in Hackettstown to cruise up to the club event. Those of us who are doing the cruise are meeting at the shop at 3. So we will probably be there fashionably late, getting there at 4:30 or so.

So if you want to just go to the Chatterbox, getting there at 3 should be fine. Just hang around and watch for a whole train of us coming in. Second gens, third gens and fourth gens, along with some others.

If you want to meet us and drive up, meet at the shop at 3pm.

Address is as stated a couple posts above:
118 Mill St. Hackettstown, NJ

[BonzoHansen]

So you guys are missing the club part

[RiggsLW81]

I will head straight to the chatterbox..where you guys are meeting is well further than the location itself for me. enjoy the cruise.

I will probably shoot for 330-4. will park in the modern muscle area.

come say hello when you guys land. my car is pictured in sig.

[rockbox]

see everyone there

[Blackbirdws6]

Gina and I got there about 3 and stayed for a few hours. We had a real nice ride up and back with the bird. I would have stayed longer but my left leg was killing me. This was my first time going the Chatterbox. Really cool place and nice crowd. I will be back next year for sure.

[L695speed]

Well that was eventful....., Got tired of waiting for Larry, sorry Larry LOL, AJ breaks, my brake lights apparently quit working....... In all though, good fun. Now about those brake lights, it isn't the bulbs because the signals work and four ways work, must be the switch. Checking it out tomorrow. I did get it home without issue. Good seeing everyone.

[thehazguy]

Well went to Island Dragway this afternoon instead of the Chatterbox. Went five rounds in street eliminator and won. Car was deadly consistent and I didn't always have the best light but I didn't beat myself with a redlight.

I'll PM you the route Dave. I'll even throw in a few other suggestions. I was talking to Nick and we agree if it was just him, me, Larry and maybe one other, we could have really changed it up. But with so many people unfamiliar with the roads we kept it simple. I drive these roads quite often as I live in the area.

Anyone who happens upon a half moon on Bilby between 517 and waterloo, nothing to see there, move on. :burnout:

[The_Bishop]

You burning rubber within 1/4 mile of my house?!

Glad you guys had fun. I was stuck at work. Pretty sure Bonzo knows my work schedule and makes sure all the meets are when I'm working. ;)

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

If there was ever a perfect milkshake day, yesterday was it. :nod:

had a great time at chatterbox will do it again

[L695speed]

I already found the problem I was having with the brake lights. Damn switch wasn't releasing when got on the brakes. Basically was jammed in the off position. Either gonna un-jam it or replace it. But no one should be running into the back of me once fixed. Seems the cruise switch is jammed as well but I could care less about that because the cruise doesn't work.

[RiggsLW81]

Had a great time at the chatterbox, good seeing everyone...very happy with the 3rd gen turnout!

and Nick -- how bout you get that summertime Whiskey Cafe show added to the meet list !!! (runs Saturdays 4-10PM, from beginning of May thru Labor Day)

I agree we need to add that

[Highland Ranger]

Nice meeting you guys!

[TaKid455]

Great day. Had and equally great time. Nice run to test out the winter upgrades on the 78. Aside from AJ's 3rd gen falling apart ( A good reminder to all to fix and go over your cars. Luckily his is an easy fix, but he missed out on the ride and meet.), the cruise up was uneventful sans granny at the end doing 25. Shameless plug: If anyone needs work or modifications done, 2nd Gen Engineering (my shop/ business) will be glad to help.

Good to meet new faces. Route was :

[Iroc-z86]

Hey guys, sorry my car broke! haha Been dumping money into it left and right to fix all the quirks but they keep surprising me. For those of you who do not know, I have a z-bar (bell crank) set up for my clutch linkage, used the same set up for about 10 years and this is the first time it ever failed. A lock nut loosened up on the lower push rod and when I pressed on the clutch it let go stripping out the last few threads of the adjuster. Also found the rubber grommet on the petal assembly is worn out and broken.

Got new parts on order as of today, had to piece it together from 69 and 80 Camaro pieces.

[hel67]

Awesome day for a car meet. Thanks to L695speed for the heads up on the scenic cruise from Larry's shop to the Chatterbox. It was nice meeting and talking with you guys.

[omarcamaro]
