January Meet?

[NJSPEEDER]

hey gang,
i was wondering if anyone wanted to start planning for the january meet? last time we were all the way over here on the western side of teh state, so i was thinking we should head east for the next one.
anyone got a good place in mind near the shore maybe? we need parking, food, and understanding managment :)
let me know your ideas here or via PM and we will get started with teh ground work.
seems like it would be best to plan for middle or end of the month, say teh second weekend at the earliest.

Won't it be just about 11 degrees in January? Anywho, let's do it.

[BigAls87Z28]

There is a Fuds on 37 in Toms River.

[foff667]

i would think the fudds on 37 would be a safe bet.

[Tru2Chevy]

I know that Jim hasn't been feeling well lately, but has Al mentioned anything more about this meet?

I know that the two of them were working on it........

i know the dunkin donuts on hooper always welcomes car shows but i don't want to be wining at dining at dunkin donuts...lol

[sting]

there's that one diner on fisher blvd across from that newish wawa w/ gas station, every now and then i see old car shows there.

[BigAls87Z28]

Damn....didnt know about the Fuds on 37 being shut down. Business was getting a little weak there. Sad to see it go.
I will look around here for a few places, and Jim was looking at a few places down by him.

[BigAls87Z28]

I came up with a great place called Beacon Street Bar and Grill. Its a really good place, and they host car shows durring the summer. I will talk to the management and make sure that everything is ok if we had some 40 people come.

[arc555]

Where is that? It sounds familiar. :?

[BigAls87Z28]

Its on Rt66 in Neptune. You can get to it from 18, Parkway, 33, or any other connecting roads. Very easy to get to.

[ar0ck]

Just a view from the north...

It has to be easily accessable from either the Turnpike or the Parkway. Â*Or some sort of escort, like the ewing meet.

(this time I wont break down and screw it up)

[BigAls87Z28]

Its very easy from the parkway. Take parkway to exit 102/ Neptune. Stay to your right and head twards Asbury Park. You will be on Asbury Ave. You will come up to a CVS on your right, and a strip mall on your left, and there will be a light. Go strait through the light, and keep driving. On your right hand side, there will be a HUGE sign that says BEACON STREET BAR AND GRILL. If you miss this, you are blind. In front of the sign, there will be a driveway. Drive through and you will see it. Taddaa! Very easy...only way you can mess it up is if you are driving really fast and drive by the sign.

[NJSPEEDER]

when you talk to them say 40+. remember, we did have 50+ for the firkin tavern meet.

let us know

Okay, Jon and Joe have both seen the Edison Applebees on Rt 1 South, they agreed it would be a suitable place for us to get together, it's actually in Central NJ, it's easy to get to, the Manager there said that with 2 days notice, they could accommodate 40 people, or more, and there's plenty of parking near the restaurant. So, how about it? Applebees in Edison this time around :?:

[BigAls87Z28]

Werd...shore owns jooo..

There is plenty of parking at Beacon Street and the food is a better. 8)

is that on street parking or a parking lot?
a parking lot woudl be much better since we could all be together, depending on traffic or whatever that is not likely on the street.

So what's so bad about the Edison Applebees :?: If you like Fuddruckers better, there's one at the interseection of Rt 1 and Rt 18 in New Brunswick. So, which one :?:

i dont think we like the fuddruckers better it just seems that in the two meets that ive participate at any applebees the mngt hasnt been very understanding or helpful in trying to set aside any space for us.

[Squirrel]

theres gotta be a hooters near the beach somewhere 8)

The Manager I spoke to at the Edison Applebees seemed willing to work with us, as long as we could at least give her two days notice on how many people to expect. She was honest enought to say that we would be spread across several Tables-not an unexpected thing if one's group numbers 40-50 people-but made every overature to make me feel we'd be welcome.

If that's okay with everyone, then I'll make the arrangements, once I know for a fact that we have a commitment of enough people.

If the group would rather try the Fuddruckers on Rt 1 & 18, then I'll first have to stop in there, and see if they can accommodate us.

[NJSPEEDER]

kewl, sounds like we have some good locatin ideas, now we need to work on a date.
i think that the begining or middle of teh month would be better. once you get into late january teh possibility of snow increases greatly. teh saturdays in january are the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. i woudl think aiming for teh 8th or 15th would be good.
anyone got any opinions on that?

Can't do any Saturdays, I work. Sundays are okay, except for January 2nd. So, for me at least, it would have to be the 9th, 16th, 23rd, or 30th.

[foff667]

dates dont much matter to me just let me know a couple of weeks in advance so i dont make other plans :)

[NJSPEEDER]

sat or sun will both work for me too.
i like afternoon better than evening. seeing all teh cars at fudds during the day was pretty cool. even if it was a touch chilly to a few people who attended :) hehe

[BlueFBird]

i can make this one ill make sure. lets get it somewhere near the shore

[ProtekYoNutz]

the 22nd is my birthday!! :D


:cheers:

yea it was fawkin freezing...still cant believe the idiots that drove up with their top down/t-tops off

[BigAls87Z28]

Beacon Street Bar and Grill has a HUGE parking lot. Â*Dont let the name fool you. Â*They have a large car show, probably 60 or so cars, every weds durring the summer, and there is still plenty of room for parking. Â*

Its near the shore, very easy to get to, and is VERY central, and they love cars! Â*We can have a vote for what place is easier for everyone.

Also, I think we should have it early before people have to go back to school. I think we would have a larger group of people if everyone was still home on break.
I say 9th, 10th or 11th, 16th, 17th or 18th for dates....as long as its after teh 4th so I can drink 8)

[Pat]

i don't think i'll be able to make this one :cry:

[bencar]

Darn, sure isn't easy trying to pick a day when we all can actually get together, and it doesn't seem like picking a location is a piece of cake either :( .

Oh well, hopefully somehow this thing will get settled, like maybe at that Applebees on Rt 1 South in Edison :?:

Just a thought you know :idea:

[Tru2Chevy]

Well, we have had three meets on Saturdays, so I say it's only fair to have the next one on a Sunday. How about January 9th at Beacon?

Does that sound good to most people?

- Justin

[bencar]

Where's this Beacon place :?: I'm still leaning towards the Edison Applebees :D

[Ant'sWS6]

Either a Sat or Sun is good for me. Any day you pick, I'll be there.

I know, I'm not much help on deciding a day....sorry about that.

[NJSPEEDER]

i am leanign towards the beacon idea personally. it seems like we may be able to get something more concrete out of them ahead of time compared to applebees.
it is a lot more fun to all sit together IMO.
also, if the palce has a history of car shows/cruise nights, people are more likely to stop by and see the cars.
al, could you try to get over there adn get some more details for us? if you can get info we can come to a final decision and get this thing posted up on teh rest of the board :)

So where is this Beacon place :?: And I think Applebees would be worth a shot, and if not, then Fuddruckers at Rt 1 & 18 is another place I can check in to

[BigAls87Z28]

Beacon Street is in Neptune NJ, on Rt66.
Very easy for everyone to get too and you can use any combo of roads to get here.
I have off tomorrow, so maybe ill take a little time out of my day and go talk to them.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Â*Yeah I would have signed up sooner but I really haven't had a free minute at work to sign up and throw up a post or two. Â*Dave is still a slacker and has not signed up yet.

For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm located in Brick. You may have seen me around driving Karr... Â*http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/507948/1

[wrong generation]

hmm january meet sounds like fun im game. just wondering if my trans am is?

[JerzLT1]

Im up for an hour drive (does map quest take into consideration how i drive? :twisted: ) even tho im in SJ ill try to be there for some fun

[jims69camaro]

i was working on something closer to the west side of the state, have put those plans on hold.

beacon st in neptune is good eats in a good atmosphere. as long as the tip is good (a crowd our size may be included in the check(s)) the service is good. great choice for a meet!!

i can't guarantee that i'll be there. the colder it is, the worse i feel. i'll plan on it, though and do my best to be there.

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Good Idea

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Its on Rt66 in Neptune. Â*You can get to it from 18, Parkway, 33, or any other connecting roads. Â*Very easy to get to.Yea that place is pretty decent inside and better yet a big wide open parking lot also

[arc555]

So is that final?

[NJSPEEDER]

location is pretty much locked in. just gotta get an agreed date with teh restaurant and we will be ready to rock.

[NJSPEEDER]

we just worked things out with the restaurant today and saturday, january 15th was the winning date.

we are looking to do a meet around 2pm and go inside by 3pm to eat. this was a pretty popular format at fudds last month, so it will prolly stick around at least until it gets warm again. :)

i will be posting up the rest of the details in the lounge.
