Update: April 11th Pocono raceway

Plain and simple an awesome gathering of some great people and extreme cars. Gtrs, supras, vettes, lambos, porsches, camaro BMWs, Audi's. Rosters are filled from 400-1800hp 1600ft roll race.

I know not everyone likes roll racing but still tons of fun.

I was planning to go last year but the weather looked a little too ominous to drive that far.

If the weather is good I will be there as a spectator. Are ou thinking about running or spectating?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Interested in spectating.

[Jersey Mike]

May go and spectate. Let's put a group together and cruise up...

[NJSPEEDER]

What Mike said.

Quick glance at google maps looks like meeting someplace that is convenient to I80 is optimal. Pay the escape tax crossing into PA and it is only a few miles off the highway.

[MyFirstZ]

I'll be spectating. The class rosters are filled I believe for every class since January.... I wanted to but they made my decision for me lol

We got there two hours late last time and missed nothing , so if we do this we should plan accordingly.

Not sure what car I'll be in but Rob should be coming again with me.

[redsoxsstink]

ive been meaning to order my tickets, a friend and few coworkers are going

[NJSPEEDER]

Can one of the northerners check around for an easy meeting point? Something along the lines of a super Wawa or similar (gas + convenience store) would be the ideal starting point and close to a major highway.

[IROCZman15]

would love to go to this. sounds awesome. Obviously as a spectator. I'll know if I can get off from work for that day soon .

Probably park and ride at the Blairstown exit. Others can meet up earlier at Rockaway too.

[The_Bishop]

That's happening on my b-day.

[NJSPEEDER]

All the more reason to come with. I'm sure everyone here can easily be talked into a celebration of some sort :)

[Jersey Mike]

How do you guys feel about meeting up at the Rockaway Mall and caravan'ing over to the event as a group? Those of you familiar with the area know it is right next to Route 80, with ample parking.

It would be a straight shot West on Route 80 for about 60 miles/1 hour or so:

[NJSPEEDER]

Rockaway Mall = where the BWW meet was?

If so that sounds easy to me.

[CGMSS]

I'm gonna watch this thread. Rockaway straight shot up 287 for me. May have to cruise out with you guys if the stars align. Is there a "spectator ticket" needed or is that done at the gate?

What a good idea :lol:

[NJSPEEDER]

Is Rockaway Mall a good place to leave cars for the day? Just thinking in terms of tolls and fuel, if people wanna meet up and carpool to save a few bucks.

[Jersey Mike]

Did you guys hear something? No? Okay, just checking.



Tim- Yes, same mall that Buffalo Wild Wings is a part of. I wouldn't hesitate leaving my car there.

CGMSS- good question about the spectator details. Hopefully it's nothing absurd..?

Keith- what a great birthday present to yourself! And BWW or NJHOPZ afterwards? Why, I'd love to!

[MyFirstZ]

Yes you need to purchase tickets prior. I will see if I can get the link

[MyFirstZ]

Sorry to rain on the parade since I never mentioned. Not a free entry event.

It is 40$ before march 15th. 50$ after that. Out in your email under registration in the link below to get more info

[Jersey Mike]

Eh, it's for a good cause. I'd do $40-$50 to witness this, and have it double as a charitable donation.

[NJSPEEDER]

Perfectly said Mike.

I'm going

[CGMSS]

40- 50 works. I'll keep an eye peeled to see when you guys are meeting up.

Ordered.

[NJSPEEDER]

I ordered my ticket. :burnout:

[Jersey Mike]

I just ordered my ticket as well.

Supposedly, the price goes up by $10 as of tomorrow... FYI for those of you lurking :lol:


I drove out to the Poconos this weekend and the cruise down Route 80-West is really great, and actually went by very quickly! This should be a great event!

[MyFirstZ]

just ordered mine and a few others

[MyFirstZ]

for those who havent seen this, its coming up in two weeks

[MyFirstZ]

[NJSPEEDER]

Glad you saw that. I didn't get an email or anything about it so I would have been ready to roll up there next weekend.

Oh well, extra week to plan and encourage people to go.

[CGMSS]

Good catch. I didn't even get a ticket in the mail as of yet.

[MyFirstZ]

Can an admin change the thread title to 4/11/2015

[IROCZman15]

thanks for the update. I had put in for a day off from work and got it. Now that it has been moved to the following weekend, I wont need to take a vacation day since I am already off.

I did not get tickets yet as I was waiting for a few days ahead of time to check the weather forecast...

...which brings me to my question.. what is the deal with the tickets? I understand order them online.. but if I wanted to wait to ensure it wont be a rainout, I stand the chance of not getting my ticket in the mail in time for the event. Can anyone 100% confirm tickets will be available at the gate (spectator obviously) or should I just buy one online and roll the dice ?

[MyFirstZ]

I know if they rain out they will put it towards a future event they mention multiple times.

I'm not sure If they are available at the gate. I would try calling or emailing. They are pretty active on Facebook if you have

[CGMSS]

I emailed them. Seems you don't get a ticket just paypal confirmation which serves as such. Odd but saves printing costs I guess. So you can wait if you want.

[MyFirstZ]

Yeah I recieved an email confirmation with printable tickets

[WildBillyT]

Can an admin change the thread title to 4/11/2015

Done!

[MyFirstZ]

Appreciate it, didn't want anyone heading up because of that

[NJSPEEDER]

Two weeks away, lets finalize the meet up plans. I think Rockaway mall sounded good to everyone, so what time and where at the mall should we meet?

[MyFirstZ]

I'm heading up the night before with a few other of my friends

[Jersey Mike]

Yeah, when Anthony proposed that idea, I hoped on board... also makes it an easier decision, since he's my ride :rofl:

[CGMSS]

Still no meet up time? Post 6 (MyFirstZ) mentions showing up late and not missing anything. I wouldn't mind cruising out with you guys...if you can stand a 5th Gen in the pack.:-P

[NJSPEEDER]

I'm heading up the night before with a few other of my friends

Camping or did ya get a hotel? Going up the night before would really be easier for me. I could shoot up the northeast extension right from work.

[MyFirstZ]

We are doing a hotel, believe there is one right across the street not sure the name though. Waiting on one of the guys we are going out to figure out which one in definitely

[NJSPEEDER]

Let me know what hotel.

Looking at google maps there is a Best Western a short drive away that could work. The place right outside the track is showing no availability. BEst Western, Best Western Inn at Blakeslee-Pocono, 107 Parkside Ave, Blakeslee, PA 18610, 7 minute drive to the track per Google Maps, showing 119+tax for the night and availability.

If anyone else wants in on the hotel idea post up.

[MyFirstZ]

Getting a little nervous with this snow

[NJSPEEDER]

We have a week to find out. Right now it looks like it will be heavy snow/rain and warm enough during the days to clear/dry up. Hopefully it stays more on the rain side of the temperature band. That being said, I am going to forgo the hotel and just cruise up the morning of the event.

So who's meeting, what time, and where? Who wants to carpool?

[MyFirstZ]

according to the village at Pocono right across the street they have rooms available. we are getting the one bedroom villa for 4 people.

[NJSPEEDER]

Just got the email, postponed to July 10th :-(

[MyFirstZ]

Yeah...... Lame supposed to be high 60's and sunny. Oh well, maybe a slot will open to race.

Admin please change date to July 10th

[MyFirstZ]

[IROCZman15]

damn, i was excited to go there this saturday bummer

[MyFirstZ]

Me too man. Been planning this since January

[NJSPEEDER]

Me too. Sucks.

[CGMSS]

Yeah looks like I made a $40 donation. It still might get pushed further out, who knows. Oh well, gotta get more beer for the weekend.

[MyFirstZ]

Alright I'll bump this since we are a few weeks out. Can an admin please change date to July 10th (Friday) for those who can't make it I believe can use there tickets for a future event. Just email them

[MyFirstZ]

One week out! Should be alot of fun with some real high horse power cars.
