You still post? I'm from albany. I'm not on here much, but everyone should look for autoX put on by AMEC at malta this summer, we had one at the end of last year and it went well.

If you have any info on the RPI autoX post it up, I'd be down for that.

Well its every Friday and Saturday nights, at the shopping center parking lot on central ave (or state street). It was shut down last season due to retards racing and drifting in the parking lot and what not, but now they(police) just keep an eye on the lot. Majority right now are bikes and muscle cars since, tis the season, but usually its around 100+ cars throughout the night, majority people come and make an appearance and leave shortly after. Its a great place to find a party to go to for that night. The "hotspots" are up by the street in the MacDonalds parking lot (24hour mcdonalds ftw) usually where the nice cars are given the spots.

Location : 1814 central ave albany 12205
Some people show up as early as 7 or 8. I suggest you show up around 9 to get a spot close enough.

When you take the right turn into khol's you will take the next left, going by mcd's, I dont suggest you park in there for ur first time going, so go by mcdonalds and to your left is the drive thru to ur right is a wide open parking lot, take the right towards the lot then another right so you do like a 180, and park in any spot to your right against the curb facing the mcdonalds. those are the best spots IMO, a place to sit, less room for an idiot to hit you.


ill warn you though, the cops will right you a ticket for pretty much everything you do wrong. a kid moved from 1 spot to a closer spot and left his chassis glow on and he got a ticket. another kid got a "failed to use signal" ticket when he left a parking spot. it gets REALLY bad the first and last weekend's of the month because of quota tickets. iv gotten one for having my engine running with the door open while i wasn't in the car....

The middletown meet they usually meet at the old caldors parking lot and then migrate when the cops show up. Almost everytime I've been out there some dumbasses in hondas made it hot doing burnouts and wreckless ****. So the cops usually give people the boot.

Lots of car do show up there. I go every so often.
