I am starting to arrange a meeting place and caravan from central Jersey to Conn for the great meet.... I am aiming for the rest area on the NJ Turnpike right after exit 11. This is also where you pickup the turnpike from the GS Parkway.. PRobably shooting for around 7am. Lime rock should be roughly a 2.5 hour drive from there... I will update and get exact mile marker and time as the date grows near... We could also stop at a rest area farther north to meet up with the North Jersey people.... Let me know...

 

hey NJ folks, the NY/longisland caravan is leaving Queens NYC around 745, we are stopping at exit 22 rest area at 830 to meet some people from ct, do you think that the 2 caravans can meet up at exit 22 rest area?

 

That's a great idea, if youi decide to stop anywhere further up north I'll be there. I don't know of anyone else at the moment from north jersey going, but let me know what you decide and I'll be there.

We could definitely meet up with the NY crowd.. I just have to figure about how long it will take to get to each leg of the trip.. Just keep this post going and I'll update along the way...
Mike, I'll let you know where too... Also, send me an email, I may have some products you might be very interested in.. BTW, your car looks alot better with the Volks(cape may)....

That is SOOOO early ...But I'm gonna meet up with you guys anyway. I'm not too sure where the rest stop after exit 11 is, but I guess I'll figure it out - can't be too hard to find

 

Thanks Jay, if you want to email me your list my email address is

Jill, you're right that is early, especially since it's going to take you central jersey people a while to make it up to NY to meet up by 8:30

Please pray it doesn't rain.. this weather is getting ridiculous

 

And I'm not even in Central Jersey - I'm about 50-60 miles south of that

The weather is ridiculous? Wow, I'm in Arizona and it's gorgeous here

 

Yikes.. poor Zgirl.. er.. I mean Jill That'll be some early driving you have to do.

You, suck have fun in AZ.. it's been non stop rain here every single weekend..

 

7 AM at the rest area works for me

 

I'm also interested in joining the caravan.

keep me posted.

 

I'm leaving Sarasota FL on Thurs 7/3 on my odyssey that takes me to this should be fabulous get together!! Will pack as much sunshine as possible. Can't wait to take the Z around 3500 miles b4 I'm done. I am crashing in Florham Park NJ on Fri and will make the drive up Sat AM . Anyone else leaving NE Jersey and goin over the Tappan Zee (How appropriate)??? I'd love to meet up, and will meet the folks at exit 22 by 8:30 too. Am also looking for company to cruise toward the Atlantic City area after Lime Rock. Will check the thread along the way, or look for me with the Florida tag BZIN YAA.

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.

 

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 too will also try to attend this great meeting of the zeeee group
hope to see you zipman long island ny
brickyard track

 

I will probably be heading up alot earlier since I will be bringing some parts to display and sell. I will probably be leaving in the wee hours around 5:30 ( I'm crazy) Its a good 2.5-3 hour drive from me. I think that if you all meet at 6:30-6:45ish, then you'll be there around 9:30 or so. If anyone is as crazy as me and wants to leave that early or race me up with the new plenum and my friend in his fast wrx, then let me know.
Good Luck and drive safe!!! See you there.

is the meet still on @ exit 11 @ 7:00a.m. on saturday at the turnpike?>

 

I will be heading up earlier but I believe some people will still meet there. I suggest meeting around 6:30 or so. Hopefully people will rrespond so you get a decent cruise up. If you want to follow me EARLY (5:30) then let me know. I'll be getting on the turnpike at exit 9. I am going early to set up a display of parts for sale!
jays350z@aol.com

Just remember also there's the option of Fort Totten in Queens (they will be meeting at 7:15 AM and leaving at 7:45 AM) and/or the rest stop at Exit 22 on Route 95 North in Connecticut (they will start at 8:00 AM and wait for NJ/NY members and leave at 8:30 AM).

See you Saturday.
Vic
