Another NJ Meet Anyone?, RESCHEDULE Options

[hurley97]

EDITED:

Options...

Raceway Park, Englishtown:
Drag strip

Palisades Interstate Park:
You can get to it from the Palisades Parkway, Rt 9W, River Road. It goes along the Hudson River and theres plenty of picnic areas and parking lots. The road goes right under the George Washington Bridge at one point and would be a great place for pictures. (a few pics posted below)

Jersey Shore:
Stay the weekend at the beach

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

I'm down with wherever.

We should try to have regular meets, and change the location every now and then and see what we can come up with. As long as theres plenty of roads to drive, places for photos, food and fun, etc then I'm there.

EDIT: I just thought of something we should try before the summer is out- Jersey shore cruise/get together. Maybe go to Sandy Hook or LBI or something, and cruise the beach and enjoy a weekend that we KNOW will have nice weather. What do you guys think?

[ILuvMyCelica95]

yes to both!

[Fate]

we should definetly get nj meets on the regular. that's all i have to say.

[devilsden97]

ok so whats the date???? Hurley post the pics we got so people can see the potential of that area.

[Defgeph]

I'm down

[BBoYRuGGeD]

^ same

bboy

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Word, lets see some pics of this spot. If its across the river from NYC that'll make for great pictures.

[celicurr]

I would probably be down for a meet in August

[hurley97]

pics...sorry if these are huge
these are where the road goes directly under the GWB. i want to go back at night when its all lit up




im going to go back with my car and take some more pics down in the parking lot areas with the bridge in the background

[ILuvMyCelica95]

[devilsden97]

They should put up signs that say "beware of softball size rocks, laying in the road way"




10 minutes after the pictures hurley97 posted, we were going down the road and crested a hill.....there was a softball size piece of granite in the road, i tried to dodge it, [with the roads being wet, and narrow i didnt try really hard, in fear of going off the road/off the cliff to our left [no guardrails]] I hit the rock....and it resulted in that damage.

[macavely]

i know what road every well ... its nice on dry days.. but one days it rains or the day after its not really nice to drive one i think they close it sometimes too ... but i'm down for a meet

[hurley97]

^ yeah it says it closes at dusk and ive seen it closed randomly before. i'll see if theres a pattern to the closings. if not i'll find out when we pick a date for this

[Culpable04]

count on me too !

[hurley97]

ok so sometime in august

lets start with when is NOT good for anyone...then we'll go from there

im good, i work M-F 9-5 and i can take off whenever...cause my jobs good like that

[devilsden97]

this is gonna sound stupid but...weekends are bad for me lol (work)

but ill request off whenever...they hate me neway.

[hurley97]

first post edited. lets decide on a date

[hurley97]

i went to the lot right near the bridge but they wanted $5, it was about 5pm on a tues. we went yesterday around 4 and there wasnt anyone there asking for money...i'll try and find out whats going on with that. the Englewood lot has a sign that says parking $5 but there wasnt anyone there again (no one yesterday either) thats where i took the first two pics...

heres more pictures





(my car is rediculously dirty in all of those pics...you just cant really tell )

[ILuvMyCelica95]

oooooooooo it looks pretty start planning

[macavely]

well there is one park right under the brige i know of .. they have hours like 6 - 9 during the summer... we can also meet up in that big parking lot in weehaken an then all drive down from there ... as for the date.. its best to just pic one date now an lete everyone adjust to it.... i say 2nd saturday in aug .

[hurley97]

^i was leaning toward that weekend too so...
[for now] its set for Sat, August 12th

we can meet at Lincoln Harbor if people want but i know there will be people who have to pass the park to get to lincoln harbor.
if anything i can meet the people who are coming from the north at the Toyota dealer in Englewood Cliffs (miguel and tina know how to get there) and you (mac) can meet whoever else at that lot and bring them up

Dammit gang, that weekend is no good for me. Thats the weekend before my birthday, and the girlfriend is taking me somewhere by suprise for three days....all she told me is that its going to be pretty far away. lol.


Sorry guys, I don't think i can make this one....

[ILuvMyCelica95]

Change the date for the mayor!!!

[hurley97]

pick from the list on the first page mayor

edit: then if that still works for everyone we can change the date

i have a family reunion i believe on the 12th,...ill make sure today and let you guys know

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Hahaha...mayor You guys are the best, let me check out the dates on Page 1 and I'll update. I'll be mad if I can't attend a meet thats practically in my back yard. lol


EDIT- How's abooot.....Saturday the 19th? Tina you have PM also.

This post has been edited by Silver94CelicaOwner: Jul 5, 2006 - 11:16 AM

[presure2]

the 19th would be better for me also, we'd like to make it to this one!

[hurley97]

is Sat August 19th good for everyone else on the list?

then we can add Silver94CelicaOwner and Presure2 to the list and you you guys can go to that other meet or whatever else you have to do on the 12th...yes yes?

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Update the title of the post as the 19th to gauge approval. Hopefully everyone else can still make that weekend, I'd love to be there with everybody again.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

writing it on my calendar

[Defgeph]

did you guys decide on a location? Eastern NJ isnt to open, to many traffic lights. Are there other options we could look into ?

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

We'll have to see what happens with the NJ state budget to see if beaches open, right now alot of stuff is closed down...but I was thinking that it would be awesome to do a cruise to the Jersey shore to Sandy Hook, LBI, etc and enjoy some beach and Celicas.

Like I've said though, I'm cool with anything just as long as its not congested and/or unpleasant to drive.

[hurley97]

just throwing out an idea:

what if we moved this to friday and merged it into the shore thing.

so we go to this park fri afternoon and around dusk when it closes we cruise down to the jersey shore and get a house or hotel rooms or whatever you guys were planning to do and stay the weekend or however long. i wouldnt expect there to be any traffic going to the shore on a fri night. sat morning would probably be hell though

This post has been edited by hurley97: Jul 5, 2006 - 5:35 PM

[Defgeph]

I'm game for that, one problem. During the summer most hotels require a two day stay minimum. This means you cant book a room unless you plan on staying atleast two nights. This would work out for most of us, but could be a problem for people that can only stay one night.

Sandy Hook is a nice area, they have a huge park right on the beach. I was also at point pleasant a few weeks ago, very nice town to cruise in.

Sunday night traffic would be a PITA though

[hurley97]

anyone staying only one night can crash in a room with someone staying for two. they can work out paying amongst themselves

[devilsden97]

im down for whatever, where ever

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Yea I should be able to do that whole weekend. Let me know what you guys decide on rooms, i'd love to make a trip to the shore.

[hurley97]

the mayor has spoken

lol...ok im changing the plan just to see how everyone likes it.

[devilsden97]

im in, for the 40th time

[ILuvMyCelica95]

shore shore shore shore shore

Steff-Kneeee its the EC 6gc Women Bikini Car wash time

[hurley97]

haha! yessss! i'll have my swim suit this time i promise

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

HAhaha...we need to have that as the next video - 6GC bikini car wash. Theres a serious lack of girl footage in our current videos......




Oh, me so hoorney...
Me love you long time.

*wipe*

[ILuvMyCelica95]

well i'll stop eating now

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

You girls and you're crazy standards you set for yourselves.....Tina, you'll be fine. 6GC isn't going to pick you apart when you slip into a bikini, we're not like that.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

lol i know u guys wont, but I will

[hurley97]

we'll just get drunk Tina....then they can take whatever videos they want and you wont even care

back on topic:
wait whats this thread for again?

oh...so no one else has said anything about having a problem with the new plan so i guess we move ahead with planning. Jeff where exactly is a good place to stay?

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Do you guys wanna stay up north, or down at the shore? Shore, right?

[hurley97]

i would think the common answer would be the shore. im going down today (skipping work, im a slacker) i'll try and look for a nice hotel or something.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

sweeeet

[Daftboy]

Im in if youll let me come... im still a newb =[

[hurley97]

of course you can come

we dont discriminate
we regulate every shade of a...

Any news of finalized date/ time /location

[hurley97]

yeah, theres info on the first page. we'll meet at the park around 6pm on Fri Aug 18th then cruise down to the shore. im working on hotel accomodations right now...if anyone has any suggestions let me know

10) Presure2
11) Daftboy

any modifications to this list? is everyone on the list staying the weekend at the shore as well?

edit: any input as to how far down the shore we want to go? we can go all the way down by Wildwood or stay up by Point Pleasant. if there is no preference and some people aren't sure about staying the weekend i will just find a Days Inn or large chain hotel and it will probably be in the Atlantic City area. if we stay more towards the north its mostly small inn/motels in which we could share a big suite if it's just a few of us...in which case i would need to know who is definitely staying the weekend.

steff, we're down for whatever...what are we doing on friday?
...hrmmmmm track? hehe
Fri 18: Street legal PLUS F-body vs. Mustang Challenge
looks like there will be lots of mustang VS camaro challenges that night...lol

[Daftboy]

anyone check out english town ?

[presure2]

anyone check out english town ?

i dont know how far from the shore that is,....but here is the schedual.

[hurley97]

anything for you Manny
...yea, we could go to the track. Island Dragway is west of the park we're meeting at and Englishtown is south and would actually be the best bet (only thing is that you guys have those rain checks from Island). in that case we should meet earlier on Fri, maybe about 1-2pm so we can hang around the park for a little while and take some pictures and/or eat and whatever else

[Daftboy]

Doesn't matter to me .... jsut let me know what we are doin cause i leave this thruday for another week

[presure2]

well im figuring most people will be working friday...prolly best to have the "meet" on saturday...we'll be down in NJ or wherever friday AM sometime, so whenever people wanna meet up is fine with us.

[hurley97]

alright. so hows this for changing the plans completely...

We meet up at the track (Island Dragway or Englishtown) on Friday, drive down to the shore from there, stay the weekend and if you guys still want to head over to the park on Sun and take pics/hang out we can do that.

We'll probably head over to the track around 5pm so anyone who wants to meet up earlier can let me know or call me. I will take the day off from work.

good plan?

[presure2]

im down for anything, really dont matter where we go, when. lmao. good times to be had no matter what!

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

w00t. I'm down for the whole weekend guys.

As far as which track, Englishtown is definately the closer track and just makes more sense. From there its a clear shoot down the Parkway to any Jersey Shore points, a big plus. Also, it'll be interesting to see what times can be had at a better, stickier track.

As far as which beach to go to, thats up to you guys. I was at Point Pleasant a few days ago and it was really nice, but not many hotels or places to go....its alot of timeshares and rentals, and just a small-ish boardwalk. However if we could find a hotel I'm sure it would be nice, it just seemed nearly impossible just to find a damn place to eat in that town, let alone a hotel.

What other places are good at the shore? Is Seaside dumpy or no?

[hurley97]

oh man. i dont even know. i think im just going to go drive along the shore one day and just check it out...anyone want to come with me? ...seriously

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Stef let me know, maybe I'll be free one of these days and we can scope it out.

[presure2]

ok guys, i talked to jeff this AM, he is also down for englishtown.
if all goes as planned, ill be bringing the drag radials out for a few shake downs...

[lagos]

what part of the shore do you plan to go to? if you go to atlatic city, then i can probably meet up with your guys there. thats only about a 1hr drive for me.

[presure2]

that'd be cool, art!
i dunno where anything is, so you'll have to find out from steff or one of them for exactly where it is...lol

I can't stay over, money is tight right now. Hopefully I can make it to Englishtown that evening for the races, but if work really needs me that night and I'd be missing out on any kind of pay, I might not be able to make it.

Sorry guys.

[Punisher]

I will go. My gf may go with I have to talk to her about it.. we have wanted to go to the shore all summer... never got to it.. my 5gc gts gets so bad gas mileage... but I should be done this week with my 6gc (3sgte swap + lsd trans) So I'd pimp that to this meet.. Maybe stay over don't know.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Steve the Punisher.....good to see you on here dude. Hope you can make it friday night, thats when I'll be there.

BTW you have email.

[Punisher]

E-Mail returned and I should be able to make it.. I am assembling most of the bottom end of the motor today...

I now need to source a place to get my headgasket, head studs and wireset.. since paradiseracing flaked out.

update on my parts... Just talked to the guy at paradise racing..

He told me he just got back from races in NH... and his employee or some **** never sent the package out. Said he will have it out today via fedex ground and have the tracking number to me by 4PM... I filed a paypal complaint with him for a refund but I told him if he got the # to me today I'd cancel that complaint.. so we shall see.

Thats lame, hopefully they come through and you'll get your parts. I'll be down sometime soon once I get back from my trip to Niagra Falls this weekend, and then I'll help you rock and roll with getting the motor put in. Should be a rewarding experience and you'll have one hell of a setup on your hands.


I need to get that clutch put in my car in the next few days otherwise my car isn't going anywhere....It slips so bad right now that I can hardly drive it anywhere without being nervous of it taking a crap on itself.

[Punisher]

wow that is no good man.

I just need the ARP rod bolts which will be here tomorrow.. then I can get the motor together.. I'm pretty close to having the transmission rear mount setup done as well. I checked the shifter cables and all is good with them... the stock GT cables work just fine for the e153.

do you remember the meet that I just randomly showed up at? it was like last year or something... its around there. if you can make it to that general area (somewhere on River Rd. in Edgewater), call me and I can come find you.

[PMing you my cell #...]

[lagos]

you got a mapquest address?

[hurley97]

if it's easier I can meet people at Edgwater Commons on Fri around 1pm. then we can head over to the park for a while before we go to Englishtown.

Edgewater Commons is a big shopping plaza and should be easy enough to find.
481 River Road, Edgewater, NJ 07020


I'll probably be meeting up with Dustin, Manny, Jenn, and Jeff earlier in the day. If anyone wants my cell # just ask for it.

haha. i dont even know whats going on anymore


Dustin, Manny and Jenn are coming down Fri morning and meeting up with Jeff. I'm going to meet up with them and we'll just be around for a while. If whoever is coming to the track wants to come hang out at the park for a while we can meet you at Edgewater Commons around 1pm. I just figured people would have work on Fri and not be able to go to the park and would just meet us at the track instead
