[DatBigDude]

[Qshooter151]

glad to see another caravan. keep in mind, the meet doesn't start till 12pm.

[Gr3y Goose]

you burough people should meet up with us LI folk and we can have a nice long caravan and really turn heads

[monto]

I talked to Ian but you guys are too much on the west side. And you'll drive north east,trying to avoid the city as much as possible, so it's not really worth it to drive west half and hour so we have to drive back east.

[Gr3y Goose]

^true. see you guys there then

[BlueSi4]

Monto, sounds good that you're going to be meeting up with us. We're planning on leaving by 10am, so as long as you guys are there at that time, we'll be fine!

[monto]

We are meeting 9-9.15. Should be there in 30 minutes. I think I still have your number just in case we run into something.

there are already a bunch of us getting there early to set up. i'd rather you show up at 12. the less people there when setting up, the better.





on another note...




WE JUST LOST 2 GRILLS. ONE MEMBER IS NO LONGER COMING AND ANOTHER CANNOT BRING THEIRS. WE NEED AT LEAST 2 MORE. THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN COOK FOR ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ON 3 GRILLS.



ALSO, WE STILL NEED MORE FOOD!!! IF YOU HAVE NOT VOLUNTEERED TO BRING ANYTHING, AND YOU ARE ABLE TO, PLEASE DO SO AND POST UP WHAT IT WILL BE SO I CAN HAVE AN ACCURATE COUNT>>>

There are a few rules that need to be followed during this meet:

-NO burn outs or unnecessary revving
-NO parking on the grass
-NO alcohol allowed at this meet
-NO speeding in and out of the park, please obey the signs

If you cannot follow these simple rules, I'm sure the local police will have no problem escorting you from the meet. I assure you I have no problem calling them. I will not allow someone's poor judgment and immaturity to jeopordize such a great meet location.



There will be a $2 parking fee per car. On your way in to the meet please stop at the booth and pay the attendant. PLEASE, PLEASE bring 2 SINGLES. The attendant will not be able to make change for everyone!

I guess for ddriver it does make a difference. And money came in handy for all those mods, ha?

[rcracin13]

chillll. i was driving an automatic 92 integra when i went to highschool. i've gone through like 5 cars since then. yea that toll adds up over time. maybe i'll jump on the triboro though if im lazy. if u guys r coming from greenpoint you can take 59th bridge because its almost the same distance.

[BlueSi4]

At that time of the day, maybe you can take the Henry Hudson till GWB, go east and take 87 there. That's the way i go in and out of the city...no tolls FTW!!
