North NJ RotorFest Caravan

We are meeting @ the Friendley's off of Exit 35 on 287 in Morristown down on Madison Ave, (07960). Meeting around 9:30am in the parking lot. There are 3 gas stations right beside Friendley's so if people need gas or to check their tires, etc. Should at least be 15 people that I know of showing up and a handful more. Post up if you are planning/interested in coming w/ us. Should def be a fun time and everyone is welcome to join us.

I am sure my brother (GoodfellaFD3s) will join us and my dad who also has an FD :p

rollcall

most likely i'll be rolling up with you guys, trying to see the feasibility of meeting up with the 8s up on route 80:

rx8club rotorfest

chris (chrism) and jason (rotaryrocket7) should definately try and plan a merge on rt 80 =] that would make for an insane caravan, provided we can link up with them the more the merrier.

heres more caravan links, perhaps we can work on coordination:

nyc/nj (and whomever else) caravan:
rx7 club rotorfest

oldbridge nj caravan link:
oldbridge, nj

-----

from what i can tell this is our current list, plus whomever else you've spoken to

1. BridgePorted12A (ryan)
2. GoodFellasFD3S (rich)
3. [dad] (rich?) =]
4. md531
5. rotor_convert (ray)
6. bay2 (brander)
7. blueangel (ted)
8. (derick)
9. (bert)
10. (mark)

i bet derick will go, minus his FD =[ and bert too.. lets get a confirmed list going =], mark in the 3000gt or AE85 since his 7 isnt gonna be ready. gonna have to get ted to get the day off work, that kid works too much..

Bay 2-->Cool man, I am trying to keep this simple, as in whoever wants to meet up w/ us @ Friendley's in Morristown is welcome and we'll go to rotorfest from there. I think trying to meet up w/ multiple caravans will just be too much a pain in the ***. We'll all see each other there lol, everyone is going to the same spot.

Unfortunatley, my brother Rich is going to a wedding the day before rotorfest, so he doesn't think he'll be able to make the caravan, but you never know.

I mean, if we are going in that general direction (rt 80) which I think we would be, than we could def meet up w/ the rx-8 guys (you lead the way), that'd def be cool. But you should def come w/ Derick and I, let me know what you want to do

I'll see you guys off route 80! I'll be down with two fb's a probably some other cars we'll see. I don't wanna take too many exits cause my uncle gets impatient when things dont' go his way.

Look for a candy apple red fb and of course my charcol grey with probably a new SE rear end and possibly M/T Drag radials.....

Well my caravan from NY and NYC will meet up by Holland Tunnel on NJ side and pick up people by Jersey City and HOboken then we will head up to the exit 48 off Route 80 to link up with u guys. I think we will be there around 10am cause thats when i heard you guys are meeting up.

Me and my caravan gonna do a lil back tracking too just to meet up with the boys at exit 48 (route 80) but we will do it to ensure a big *** caravan lol. Ima be recording as much as i can, but we should def pool our pictures and vids together and show ****** how Rotary guyz do it.

So far im planning to meet up by route 80 (exit 48) at 10am, i will be there at 10am, this is to help out the guys from CT/MA/RI who want to also link up with us, how many will show is in the air. But you can be sure that us NY guys alone can have about 30 cars there (hard to beleive check our NYC Rotary meets we been having, 25+ cars.)

So i will see you guys there.

Yo bay2 thanks for putting up my caravan's info =). Good looking out ..

Yeah once we get the off the highway and onto route 46 its not hard. We actually passed it last year, the driveway to island drag looks like a back alley. Who knows we migh miss it this year as well lol.

So i guess the NY/NYC and NJ ( Holland Tunnel ) meet will just meet you guys by exit 48 off Route 80 iight.

To be sure you guys will meet by 10am by exit 48 right.

Ima have a name tag on my shirt saying my name so ya see me lol

Well is this exit 48 where the Rx-8 guys are going to be meeting up at? I think we are going to follow Bay2 to meet up w/ the 8 guys. But from the looks of it, we should all be meeting up in the same general area. This should be a BLAST! Can't wait. Thanks for posting RotaryRocket7 + Zumspdrx-7, look forward to seeing you guys there.

ray is going to be at the holland tunnel, and thats my guess for bert too, since he lives in JC, hence the revision I have...

1. BridgePorted12A (ryan)
2. GoodFellasFD3S (rich) [tenetive]
3. [dad] (rich?) =]
4. md531 (mark!)
5. bay2 (brander)
6. blueangel (ted)
7. (derick)

plus whomever else you are expecting.

yes, the route 80 exit 48 spot is mainly the rx8s with the caravans using that as a final meetup spot. it's looking cool, and yah we should roll in there around 10:00am =]

ted better get the day off, he keeps saying he'll finally race the turbo'd 8 =]

I will be @ Friendly's off of Exit 35 off of 287 on Madison Ave @ 9:30-9:45 w/ my dad in his red FD R1. RotorFest starts @ 12 noon, so we should look to push out at around 10- 10:15 to meet up w/ the Rx-8 guys off of Rt. 80.

Again everyone is welcome!!
