Vic

 

Its good to see some G35s coming with us..

 

so we are set leaving at 745, so please don't be late. thx

 

I have a friend in Stamford who's coming up with his G35. I guess it'd be easiest to have him meet at the exit on 95 with the others.

 

i think so andrew, just tell him at exit 22 rest area, we should be there around 830, we are going to try to leave fort totten at 745

 

There will be another G35 owner meeting you guys at Fort Totten. Don't know the color of his car but his name is "Allan".

See ya.

 

just two more weeks! I can't wait!

 

eMan (Ethan) has contacted me about Walkie Talkies (FRSs ) and assignment of frequencies for the MA/NH caravan, as a means of communicating with each other. Since he has a clue what he is doing and I don't, I asked him to set up some assignments for each Caravan as well as one for CT people and one for anyone else that is coming to the meet from out of state (ie Canada, PA, FL, etc). Everyone should be able to access each assignment but I thought breaking them down a little might help the "traffic" on them. Here they are:

MA/NH Caravan: Channel 6, Code 17 (462.6875 MHz - 118.8 Hz)
NY Caravan: Channel 5, Code 21 (462.6625 MHz- 136.5 Hz)
NJ Caravan: Channel 7, Code 24 (462.7125 MHz - 151.4 Hz)
CT People: Channel 8, Code 27 (467.5625 MHz - 167.9 Hz)
Other (ie FL, PA, Canada, etc): Channel 4, Code 13 (462.6375 MHz - 103.5 Hz)

Pretty much any FRSs should work as long as it's a Motorola based design. You can pick them up pretty cheap (~$25 for a pair) and the range should be good for ~2 miles in a straight line. BTW I will be posting this same info in each thread so that everyone has the same information. I hope this helps.

 

I want to join.. but do not have a Z as of yet. Still thinking of waiting at least till OCT just to see how the new supra will look

 

Due to the large number of attendees, we've had to change the location for the morning meet. It will NOT be at Hubbard Park in Meriden.

The new location is:
Park & Ride Lot
Industrial Park Road
Middletown, Connecticut

The parking lot at Hubbard Park in Meriden could only hold about 100 cars and we may top this. This would have created major havoc. This new location will hold up to 250 cars!

This new location is not too far from Meriden so it should not affect the travel time for people coming. Direction is as follows:

From ROUTE 91 NORTH
Take Exit 21 (Route 372 Cromwell/Berlin Exit)
Turn right at light
At next light (Super 8 on left) turn left
The lot will be about 1/4 mile on left just after the McDonald's

From ROUTE 91 SOUTH
Take Exit 21 (Route 372 Cromwell/Berlin Exit)
Go straight past light
The lot will be about 1/4 mile on left just after the McDonald's

I apologize for this last minute change but it was a MUST to ensure a more comfortable atmosphere.

Please spread the word to anyone you may know that is planning to come.

Because we do expect some stragglers to still go to Hubbard Park, we will have someone there to re-direct them to the new location.

Thanks for your understanding.
Vic

 

I am bringing our NISMO Z and the trailer with the Race Car.

We are leaving from our Dealership at 7:15 and will be at Fort Totten no later then 7:45. please wait...

your post said " lot SHOULD be on left"???

is their better land mark then that for the morning meet??

"long island, take the LIE or GCP west to Cross Island pkwy north, exit at bell blvd. make a right at the light, the parking lot should be on your left."

thanks...

 

hey, dan, glad you can join our caravan. you really can't miss the parking lot. once you get off the high way and make a right at the light, there are only 2 choices, the parking lot or the fort.

here is my cell phone number for contact, call me saturday morning if you guys or anyone need direction.

Hey peeps...can anyone be a little more specific about the location of "exit 22" on I-95 where people will be meeting? Is it in NY just before you pass into CT or is it in CT? I may meet up at that location and I would be coming east on 287 from the Tappan Zee...when you hit I-95 is it north or south? Thanks.
