NY/NJ/CT FALL FUN RUN: Sunday, November 6 at 9:00 a.m. WHO'S COMING?

Hey guys, I thought it would be smart to start a new thread for this event. Adam and I have been so busy, so sorry for the delay. We will be meeting at approx. 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 6th at the rest stop near exit 5 on the Palisades Parkway. For the newbies, and yes, we encourage you to attend, the meeting spot is actually in the middle of the highway so both sides can access it. It is a short distance from exit 5, and you can't miss it. You must exit from the left lane to enter the station. Once there, you will see a commuter lot with a gas station with all sorts of goodies. Donuts, coffee, etc. (no, I'm not a cop). I figure we can depart at about 10:00 a.m. That will give us time to have a meet and greet, and let all of the late sleepers arrive as well. But get there earlier if possible. When we depart, we'll head North on the Palisades and eventually toward New Paltz, and end up at the Brauhaus again for a lunch (unless someone has a better suggestion). They were good last time, and it was easy to find. I'll post the final set of directions in the next day or so, but I'll bring copies as well. I am cross posting this here and on Rennlist in hopes of getting a nice turnout. The weather should get to the high 60's, with all sun, so we lucked out. I hope the forecast holds. Please feel free to pass this along to other "fun" cars, as last time we had some F-cars, a Lambo, and some Vipers (and that was on a rainy day). I think we had approx 45 or 50 cars earlier this year. Let's try to top that. Please feel free to chime in so we can keep this thread on the top page. Drive safely, Jon Ripps

Aaaahhhh, I'm going to the Jets game; otherwise I would have been a definite. Next time round....does that mean next season?

I'm 95% in. I got a bent rim the other day and if the tire doesn't pop. *fingers crossed* Anyone coming from Manhattan that wants ride out there?

I will also be at the Jets game or I would definitely have come...hopefully there will be another one...I love that drive up there.

I will be in attendance and will try to get a few more P-cars in...

AWESOME ME AND MY BLACK BEAUTY WILL BE THERE !

I will try to make it as well.

I may be in not 100% sure but it calls for a nice day on Sunday.

yeah should be nice out! I'm looking forward to meeting some rennlisters As of now, I'm definitely in... I might not be able to make lunch with everyone cause I have to be back in the city for lunch, but I'll do the drive... See you guys there!

oh, and on a side note, does anyone know where I can pick up a video mount? I'd like to take some footage of the run.... might be fun Bestbuy?

for Sunday did you try B&H for the camera mount?

good call... I just tried calling... can you believe they close on Friday after 1PM and are not open on Saturday??!! WTF

How long is the drive to brahaus? Might be able to make it. Ross

Hey guys, I'm glad many of you will be attending. Should be a good amount of people from Rennlist and Pelican. The drive should be about 1.5 hours to New Paltz area.

I'll try to make it too

Guys, A member from 6speed and I are caravaning from NYC to exit 5 at the palisades. If anyone wants to meet up before hand and come along, give me a ring... or write back here (i'll check in regularly tonight, so you can also post... feeling under the weather, so no going out)... my cell phone is nine.one.seven.five.eight.two.four.one.eight.eight

Jon... thanks for organizing the ride yesterday, my son and I had a great time. Look forward to another. The lunch stop was a very nice choice, with a smart location. Nice meeting/driving with you, see you again soon, Gary

Yeah... Thanks Jon for the drive and set-up to lunch. I was talking to Martin (silver M3) and we had no idea where we were, but it was beautiful up there... great drive. Thanks again... Pics to come later tonight after work

Hey fellas, It was great having you. We will do a few more next year as soon as the weather breaks. Looking forward to hanging again soon, and seeing those pix. Can you post them on Pelican board too? (911 bbs at pelicanparts.com (you'll see the link there)). If you can't, no problem. Regards,
