For anyone interested... it's probably an hour drive for you PA-ians... I propose a caravan down... or over... or wherever the heck it is-
-Ash

[Prototype240]

Awesome, I'm so in for FormulaD. :thumbup:

[the mike]

Ash and I are there, anyone else want to caravan? Wall Twnshp is over by Brick, if i remember correctly...

[TrboChicsRock]

Yup, it's just north of Brick on route 34. It's about time they had something going on near my house :thumbup:

[bjc26]

Looks like a good time, I may have to make the drive up for this one!

[the mike]

Like I said, carpool. Meet up on 70 somewhere, perhaps?

Sounds good to me.

[97TSi]

I'm in. 70 sounds good.

[teh DIRT]

i am in. i got a bunch of flyers for this event in my room and i have no idea where they came from. anyways, how do i get to 70 from philly

[the mike]

Just meet at my place Pete. I'll get you directions.

Take the Ben Franklin Bridge and you'll see signs for it. It's extremely easy. Then you take 70 to Rt 34 north and it'll be on your left hand side.

[TehWagon]

Indeed. As long as you follow the signs, you pretty much get right on 70 from the foot of the bridge. Just be careful cuz there's a weird thing where the road splits between 38 and 70 - just stay far enough right there. Anyway it's like a month away, so I'm sure people may need a refresher by then!

Also, any of the South Jersey guys know any meet-able lots along 70? I think there's a shopping center near Weichert I believe which is just... east? of the 70/73 circle? Ideas?

[bjc26]

Anywhere along there is just fine by me... I will be cruising up 295 north and then hopping on 70 in cherry hill, a few miles before the 70/73 circle. That shopping center on 70 east right after the circle would probably work out nicely. I don't travel that area all that often so I am sure someone else may have a better idea. :thumbup:

[MuddyREX]

I'm not drifting, but I like to watch.

[TehWagon]

TTT
:bump:

[auk113]

you know ivan and i will be there, some of our friends are running in it

[TehWagon]

OK folks- now that this is getting closer i guess we need to decide who's caravanning and where we're meeting...

[Orbit]

a few freinds and i will be going as well.

[TehWagon]

Jamie you're more familiar w/70 than i - isnt' there a strip mall w/a decent amount of parking just east of the 70/73 circle?
Just trying to think of neutral meeting places...

[9 Ball]

Yeah. If somebody knows a good spot on 70, just name the place. I don't know Jersey that well, but I'm in.

[JasterM5]

I'm in we just need a neutral meeting place. Also if you have any of the flyers it give you $2 off the entrance fee. Its not alot but for us bums with no jobs, every bit helps. :) I have a few.

[teh DIRT]

i have a crapload of those flyers.

[TehWagon]

bitchin! call 2 for teh mike and me!

[Orbit]

do you mean that movie theater that never opened up "the point"? where the meet was last year?

[TehWagon]

Not familiar w/that one but if you think it's central enough for everybody, let's do it! Where is it?

[the mike]

Less than 2 weeks. TTT

[the mike]

A little over a week, Sat. the 16th.

Let's really get on finalizing of a meeting spot.

[TehWagon]

Concur - Jamie or Karl- do you know that stretch of 70 enough to suggest a meeting spot?

[TehWagon]

LadyRX7 suggested meeting at Olga's at the 70/73 circle - that's pretty centralized, yes?

[Orbit]

olga's is a good spot ! they have good breaksfast . they give you a extra pot of coffee that sits on the table for when you are ready :wiggle:

I just remembered where the Point is, more near where 30 and 70 meet right?
I think Ash is talking east of the 70/73 circle.

[teh DIRT]

i have to come to this....looks like they are gona be short staffed at work :)
-pete

[the mike]

That's the spirit. :thumbup:

[karl]

:supz: im def goin to this!

[the mike]

w00t, another caravan!! :thumbup:

[Orbit]

I got it .. olga's is a better place anyhow, we can have breakfast first!

[TehWagon]

B!tchin! It's settled then- Any PA people that need help getting to Olga's let me know! :supz:
PS Don't forget if you get tix online (see original post for link), you save $5, even though there's a stupid $2.50 surcharge, but it still saves SOME $$$...

[JasterM5]

Ok i think i speak for all the PA people but, where are we meeting and how are we getting there?

[TehWagon]

Are you thinkin you'll meet up by you guys and then meet us at olga's? or are u just continuing on to the speedway?

[TROLL]

what time is everyone planning to get there? it opens to the public at noon, but i'd like to be there at 11 to get myself oriented to shoot all day long. i'll probably be making the drive out there solo but i figured i'd ask.
bryan
edit: wow i just noticed it goes till 10pm... long day!

[JasterM5]

I'd like to meet everyone in jersey so we can all drive down caravan style to the wall. Us PA guys could meet here and then meet everyone else down at Olga's. How do we get to olga's?

[teh DIRT]

im up to meet anywhere....just show me where and ill be there.
-Pete

[TehWagon]

I hope i'm the only one to do this... Take the betsy ross bridge across, pick up 73 South, and right after you pass 70, turn right into olga's. It should be about... 8 miles from the bridge maybe? Does that help or is it too vague... Aim to leave olga's at 10:30? So if we're eating maybe we should meet at, er... goo... 9?!?!!?

[teh DIRT]

can i take tacony and do the same?

[the mike]

Affirmative. That puts you directly on 73 in fact. If you take Betsy you're on 90 at first then you link up w/73.
This is ash btw. BAAAAHAHAHA - i'll inadvertently mod yo a$$!!

[blubaja]

Count me in for the caravan!

Frank X.

[9 Ball]

Perhaps I'll see some of you guys at Wall. I'm gonna miss the caravan... I won't be heading out until 12noon.

[the mike]

TTT for tomorrow.

Meeting at Olga's diner around 9/9:30. Times are lenient, but we would like to get there(Wall) around noon or so, I don't want to miss anything!! :rock:

[capaGC8]

if it wasn't so early i'd be down for the caravan... i'll definitely be down there though :supz:

[the mike]

If you don't want to eat, you can meet us at the diner. I am hoping ot head out of there around 10:30 or 11.

[capaGC8]

ohhh... didnt realize you were eating there - i might be up for the 11:00 flight

[Orbit]

seemms way too early to me .. how long does it take to get there? Qualifying does not start until 2:00pm.

[TehWagon]

oo good point. i'm all for sleepin in a tad more... anyone for a slight change of plans?? :sleep:

[teh DIRT]

i want to caravan

we should meet at RR. then caravan to olgas for lunch. i kno that RR is the complete opposite direction...but everyone knows where its at

[the mike]

So how does meeting at 11 suit everyone? I know the real drifters are probably going earlier, but like Jamie said, it doesn't start for realz until 2, so....
1. Is 11:00 good for all parties?
2. Who is going/meeting at Olga's?

[teh DIRT]

im in for olgas

[TROLL]

yo guys.. make sure to print out a dozen TST flyers each and bring them with you... help spread the word so the forum can grow. if you want to print out 2 or 3 dozen for yourself or for others to disperse thats cool too :).
see you tomorrow.
bryan
p.s. here is the link for the flyer page http://www.tristatetuners.com/viewtopic.php?t=11

[Prototype240]

I'll see you guys at Olga's....can somebody call me at like 830-9 if we're not meeting up at 11?

[TehWagon]

Chris - we're def meeting up- no need to call ya!

Everyone else- Bryan has a good idea about the flyers, but can we try to be a wee bit selective about who we give them out to? Don't wanna have another riff-raff invasion of 'flamers' again... that wasn't fun :roll:

[teh DIRT]

i have about 30 flyers printed out. Ill split them up with whoever doesnt have any.
-Pete

[JasterM5]

yeah, waiting for pete to get to my house. OH BTW the qualifying was yesterday. And there has already been 2 confirmed crashes. Both old DGTrials guys. :) They imed me last night.

[olmytsi]

So who went? It was absolutely awesome so if you missed it :finga:
Sooo many hot cars :prayer:

[teh DIRT]

Definitly worth calling out for....now to explain the sunburn when i goto work tommorow.
