HERE IS THE PLAN:
If you live north of Philadelphia:
Take the PA turnpike east to the final tollplaza in PA. Just over the bridge in NJ I'll be pulled off on the should of the highway between roughly 7:00-7:30am.
If you live in Northern New Jersey, New York or really anywhere north of here Please take the New Jersey Turnpike southbound, and plan to meet at the “Walt Whitman Service Area” on the southbound side near mile marker 30.2 around 8:00-8:30
If you live in Philadelphia or generally south/west of Philly: I haven’t received any messages from anyone trying to meet up from here so if you catch this and want to caravan in please meet at the same location listed above. Walt Whitman Service Area on the Southbound side of the NJ Turnpike near mile market 30.2.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
So far I’m the only one who will definitely be waiting on the NJ side of the PA Turnpike I’m driving a BMW 335 with a green android sticker on the side eating an Apple
For anyone trying to meet up at the Walt Whitman service area you can keep an eye out for my car or 3 RX7s one of which is a veilside so it shouldn’t be hard to miss.
If you want to meet up please feel free to message me here on Facebook first, or try to PM me on the message board last as getting on the forums on a cellphone is a pain. Also feel free to shoot me a text @ 267-907-5268 my name is Marc and I’m Uleepera on the forums.
Hope we get some interest in this as it would be pretty cool to caravan into the event with 10+ 7s.
FINAL LOCATION: 8000 Dividing Creek Rd., Millville, NJ 08332
Mapped out it should be roughly an hour from the service area down Rt. 55 which is the route we plan to take. Millage should be about 48 miles.
Event Link for Caravan: http://www.facebook.com/ferrari.marc...0171551441861/
Last note: Some of these times may be revised tomorrow so please check back before leaving

I recommend using Google Maps if you are going to be planning your trip to NJMP via the intarweb..... Mapquest doesn't seem to find the proper address and will just take you to the center of Millville, which you don't want.
We may possibly have as many as 75 people at the event this year, making it the biggest one yet
Btw, if anyone would like to volunteer for early morning setup duty, Parking Czar, or Car Show Judge please PM me

Here's my recap, haha.
Drove 2 hours, only had 40 minutes to go. Pulled over to get gas, noticed coolant on the ground. Opened the hood and found coolant spitting out of the turbo coolant hose.
I drove down the street to an autozone and bought some of that self adhesive coolant hose repair tape for a quick fix to get me home. Got it wrapped and sealed after burning the crap out of my hands.
I top off the coolant, and go to start it and nothing. Won't fire at all. I go look in the enigne bay and notice wires wrapped around my eshaft pulley. Looks like when I wrapped the turbo coolant hose, I moved the OMP wire loom just enough to get caught by the pulley.
I then look at the crank angle sensor, and the wires from the OMP had broken off the upper sensor, leaving me with no spark and no running car. No one around carries the sensor, I new i was close to JPR, whould probably have one, but no one was there.
So I call tripple A, luckily I upgraded to the Plus membership about 5 months ago. I was 92 miles from home, and thankfully it was covered. Unfortunately I had to wait 2 hours for a tow truck, because no one wanted to go that far.
But I finally made it home, and am going to start removing all the coolant hoses today and order the kit from Malloy tomorrow. Wish I could have been there, at least I noticed the coolant leak and the engine never overheated.

I had a great time yesterday and it was great seeing everybody! It was awesome getting out on track with John, Dan, Matt, and RyRy. Unfortunately towards the end of the day one of my rear wheel bearings went out. I heard a loud groaning sound mid corner and immediately pit in. Was not sure if it was diff or bearing related, but I now have a loud rhythmic hum when driving so it is the wheel bearing. 120k on original wheel bearings so they all will be changed.
Here is a video of the noise I heard. Im working on uploading more videos now.

That sucks John. Like you said though, it's hard to argue with 120k miles on the originals. The rears are such a PITA to change too! The C5Z Corvette's go out ALOT faster than that.
Sounds like everyone had a great time though, minus a couple of minor issues.

1626 pictures and two videos... just finished uploading to my computer. I have to edit and shrink them so PhotoBucket will take them since they are 7-8mb/picture right now. Alas I'll be at the Eagle Giants game soon so I don't think Im going to complete that today. But I'm working on it.

Hey guys, just got back home from day 2 at the track. Big thanks to the organizers and donators for putting on the event! You all should have stuck around for day 2 at the track - the weather was great. I'll have some videos of all the other FDs overtaking me later on. But right now, I've got some new car problems that cropped up at the track if anyone knows what this might be please check it out:
