ALL FULL!! July 30th Tri-State Crab Run - Page 2 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Pocket_Rocket · 05-04-2005, 05:16 PM

OK ALL! Its a go!

It has to be a Saturday though because I do not want to drive back from MD late and be exhausted the next day for work. I am looking at July 30th right now. Please let me know if that is the same day as some other MAJOR event to where I would loose most of you. Hopefully that works for most. I know some of you work Saturdays and I am really sorry if Saturday's do not work out for you. It is worth scheduling a day for though.

This weekend I will be posting full details with how to sign up, what to bring, where to meet, what time etc..

Thanks for your interest and I do believe this will be a kick ass time.

With the pics I would be down for just cruising on those roads. Are you talking about racing around or just kinda putt putting around. But if your talking about racing on them then I guess the sway bars just jumped to the top of my list of things to get for my Lincoln!

Pocket_Rocket · 05-04-2005, 05:31 PM

Def not RACING! Toooo dangerous with 35 cars. There are areas of spirited squirts but SAFETY is a big big priority. I do not want anyone to ruin their day or anyone elses so it will be tempered but definately not boring.

I will say that these are back roads.. if you are overly slammed and mostly for looks, these may not be the greatest roads for some of you.. I am talking about those that are street sweeper low..

For any rare areas that have a noticable rough spot there will be a warning broadcast over Motorola talk about radios if you have one and also will be on the directions.

But for the record.. these roads are all in good shape. I would not have chosen them if they were badly torn up or rutted out badly.

Oh well nm then

Pocket_Rocket · 05-05-2005, 06:58 AM

I am sure you will be fine.

As long as front bumpers have about 5-6 inches from the ground there should be no problem. Next time I do a pre-run I will get some pictures of the roads to ease everyones mind.

The best advise I can give anyone coming is that you have almost 3 months to pick up a motorola talk about.. Its not a requirement by any means but a real good suggestion ..WHY? Because I will announce any dangerous intersections, road debris, or potholes etc over the radio. Plus they are alot of fun when traveling in packs.
They are fairly cheap. I recommend the old school ones like talkabout plus or the talkabout 250. As long as it has primary and sub channel ability. Here is one cheap on ebay.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...98269&rd=1
I belong to two other car clubs and we use them all the time on runs. If this is a success I have other runs to do so they will come in handy..

Sorry man.. Ulitmately its up to you. Next time I am down doing another dry run.. I will snap a bunch of pics of the roads so people get a better idea. Make your ultimate final decision then.

I dont want people to get the wrong idea here... These roads are all paved and all pretty darn smooth. I am 98% sure that most all of you will have no problem.. Its only those that are SUPER SLAMMED that I am concerned about. If you scoop up dead animals with your front spoiler then this run is not for you.. From what I could tell by being at RR several times.. 95% of you will be more then fine..

the mike · 05-05-2005, 11:05 AM

I am not worried about ground clearance anymore.

Definately sounds like a good time. I don't like Talkabouts, but they do come in handy. Maybe I'll get a handsfree for mine.

dancemf666 · 05-05-2005, 11:41 AM

Kinda new to this board but I would be up for this.

Heh.. just turn it on and set it down so you can hear stuff. I have a hands free for mine and you just have to be careful not to be on vox by accident.. then people hear you singing or something :thumbdow:

Anyhow.. I wanna know how the heck you did that.. Looks like a parking accident.

criz · 05-05-2005, 01:31 PM

I need a vox thing for my talkabout...

I'd appreciate it if we could do this thing in July... I do not have any weekends free in June (family business' busiest month)

Pocket_Rocket · 05-05-2005, 03:09 PM

The date is July 30th! Sign up info will be posted this weekend..

20th1519 · 05-05-2005, 03:34 PM

There's the scoop.
Back on topic, I don't like having to pick up the talkabout to talk. That's why I have my navigator do it.

July 30th sounds good to me.
