New Jersey "Night-Owl" mini meet., UPDATE: Saturday, May 5th 6pm - DWG area. Options

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Last year we had some decent turnouts with the mini-meets, where we hung out and took some pics and whatnot. I figure that for 2007 the New Jersey area could use a fun, smaller driving-based meet to make for a good time. Same place as last year, we can meet up around Delaware Water Gap and go from there if that suits everyone.

I want to try something a little different this year with the mini-meets.....we'll pull an all-nighter cruise on a Saturday night, and we can do some safe spirited driving on some beautiful roads through the mountains and hills of Northwest NJ and PA. Take breaks and shoot some great night shots on our cameras, grab some diner food or perhaps 24 hour White Castle, and cruise some more.


I figure it would be fun to enjoy a full night out of pure, 100% driving and cruising on amazing roads. In order to make this happen safely, I would suggest the following if you'd like to attend:


1.) Be sure to bring a well-maintained car with good tires and brakes for the safety of you and others.
2.) Please be well rested....driving dangerously tired won't be safe.
3.) Practice safe and responsible driving practices.
4.) Be punctual and prepared with a full-tank of gas to avoid delays.
5.) Be prepared to have alot of fun.


UPDATE:

Alright guys, I decided to bump the meeting time foward a few hours so that we can get an earlier start, plus hit up some really beautiful spots while theres still daylight.

6PM is the new meeting time. If this doesn't work for anybody, please let me know so that we can work out a way for you to meet up with the rest of us later. Sorry for the short notice, hope to see everyone there!

i should be able to make this meet anyone want to drive down with me ?

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

We can meet off of Exit 4 on Rt. 80 if you guys would like.

From the east heading westbound, you'll take exit 4A then bear left at a little roundabout that point you right to a truck stop/McDonalds. We can meet there since theres tons of parking and its right off Rt. 80.

Same thing if you're coming eastbound on Rt. 80, take exit 4A for Columbia, you'll see the truck stop on your left across the highway on the westbound side. Take a left at the top of the ramp to head towards the truck stop.



Lots of roads to cruise on, Its going to be lots of fun.

I need to get new tires, hopefully I can find a good deal before that date so I can go. I can't even go over 75 MPH with the tires I have now

[Defgeph]

I should be good to go for this.

A lot of larger tire stores sell used tires, maybe you could find a set for a good price at one locally or on EBay even? I've seen a lot of great deals floating around on EBay and Craigslist.org.

Good luck man, hopefully you can make it!

Further or closer to the meet as opposed to where...?? haha. The meeting place is in Columbia, NJ so its about an hour and a half to the Northwest of Englishtown if thats where you'll be.

As far as getting to the meet, you just need to get yourself directions to Route 80 Westbound and follow the directions as stated in my first post. Hope to see you there!

From Allentown it's about an hour drive, really easy to get there since its a straight shoot up 33 North.

As long as you can find your own way towards home then you can leave whenever....we're going to keep truckin though, so we might not be close to our meeting place when you depart.

Hope you can make it, and let me know if you need help with directions or anything.

-Corey

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Haha. Probably the same distance then whether you're in Englishtown or the Bronx then.

Jason, I got your PM and replied back as well.




ATTENTION ALL ATENDEES:

Due to popular demand, I think we might just move the time foward a bit, making it not such a "Night-Owl" meet after all.
My proposition is that we meet closer to 6 PM so that we can enjoy some daytime driving through the scenic areas, more people will be able to show throughout the evening, and we can drive into the night without getting too tired.


Please let me know if this works out OK for everyone. For those not able to show at 6PM, let me know what time better suits you and I'll make an effort so we can all meet up.

[juBz86]

dam i might have went if it weren't for the dam gas prices sky rocketing. i hate driving now. probably see most of you guys in the jersey city meet.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Laaaaammmeee. At least we don't have gas prices like they have in Europe.....when I was there it was equivalent to almost $8.50 USD a litre. No silly gas pump stops me from having a good time.

Seriously though, thats understandable dude. Its downright expensive lately.

Bad news guys, my tires won't arrive til next tuesday. so I'm not sure if I wanna do the driving my wronn out tires.

Stevenson, you should just ride out and park your car, then go shotty with one of us. I wouldn't mind if you wanted to ride along with me, im sure others would feel the same way......I'd hate for you to miss out man.

[Culpable04]

I won't miss it guys, as long as we don't go over 80 MPH I'll be fine, worse case I'll drive a Camry there.

[2slow2nervous]

if this meet was next weekend i could make it.. I dont have insurance on my celi until wens nite

[jess_i_74]

Sounds fun. Dang you, finals!

I don't think I can justify the 3h drive each way because of studying.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Happy Cinco de Mayo!


Meet starts in 4 hours, meeting at the TA truckstop just off Exit 4A from either direction on Route 80.

See you all there shortly, and call if theres any problems.

[jason]

i think next meet we should get some phone numbers together

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Jason I PM'ed you my phone number in case you had any problems.....??


Good meet, lots of driving and all-around good times. I'll post pics in the morning.
