Tony Lukes has a TON of space to park, you will not have a problem. the street it's on is basically an industrial complex that is empty during the weekend (a UPS depot, and some abandoned train yards).

Seriously? With something this big how the hell do you expect someone to give you an accurate number?....You could go onto all the forums listed and find this thread and count who is coming then add all of those people up...but even then it wont be accurate because a lot of people back out of these events at the last minute and plenty of people come that do not write their names on a list. Either way you wont get an accurate number. Therefore just come out and have fun, there will be plenty of people there

Justin,

Hell yeah man, I'm going to be meeting folks at the College Park Ikea, I'm not sure which is closer for you though. So I'm sure we'll see you there if you show up to either one. It'll be good to see that amazing Lemans sunset again ahahah love that color

We're not totally sure. We're estimating anywhere from 250-500 people, in terms of actual number of cars probably 200+.

They have a pretty large parking lot, able to fit around 250 cars I think. We have a backup plan in case the lot fills up. Also, they can handle all the hungry azz people, don't worry about that. I've been speaking with Tony Luke, Jr and he knows we're coming up and they're very excited about it.

That area is not particularly traffic friendly, but nowhere in Philly is. There are a lot of lights and we may even cause a backup on the highway. All we can do is hope for the best. We're working on trying to get a police escort for the next one. Stay tuned....

Default The forecast for Saturday isn't looking good....

Is there a rain date for this event?? Looks like they’ll be showers on Saturday; however a meteorologist is the only job where you’re expected to be incorrect 90% of the time. I doubt Tony Luke’s is sheltered. Any Ideas?
