Alright, well i can't organize the caravan because i'll be there with Larry setting it up... So we need some one to set up some caravan locations

Caravan from Southern CT
Caravan from Mid CT
Caravan from MA (Springfield?)
Caravan from Southern NY
Caravan from Northern NY

Latest News:
I just googled it from Springfield MA to Newburgh NY. it looks like there sending you down 91S to 84W, so you would be driving by the Berlin Turnpike in CT...

now if you can all plan it out right with Southern and Northern New Yorkers, you all could meet up @ Newburgh Mall (about 2miles away from OCC) , which is right off of 84 and also right off of 87 which is where the people from NY would be.

As stated earlier i can't coordinate every towns mini caravans to these central locations, so i'll leave that up to you guys. The above is generic locations (centralized) If anyone has any suggestions for times please post, If no answers in 3 days then i will make up the times. I am more than willing to help out anyone that has any questions and or Larry. So don't hesistate to ask!

bump, for some time ideas...

 

updated as of 5/29

 

we have nearly 70 cars signed up for this, and no one else has posted here...

will this work for you guys? just looking for some input, we want to make it as easy and seamless as possible...

 

When is this show again??

 

6/28/09 its on a Sunday

 

hey i was just looking at that thread, instead of tacobell wich has a small parking lot, i say we meet at bobs furniture it has a big lot..btw sign me up i think im going

 

Hooters on the pike works for me

 

Guys, what's the plan to get back on the highway from Hooters? The reason I'm asking is the only way I know is to either u-turn after coming out of the Hooters lot or driving straight down the pike to Rte. 9. The drive down Rte. 9 would be very time consuming.

Also, why is there a stop on 95 South? Going down Rte. 95 instead of 84W adds at least 40 miles to the trip and there is no way we would make it to Newburgh by 8:45. Also, no way we would make it to Exit 9 in Stamford at 7:30 if we leave Hooters at 7:00.

Here's my recommendation but it's up to you guys:

Park & Ride Lot (Sebethe Road, Cromwell)
Directions: Take Exit 21 (Cromwell) on Route 91S. Turn right at light. At next light (Sebethe Road) turn right. Park & Ride lot is there on the right.

The nice thing about this exit is that there is a Mobil, Burger King, Dunkin, and McDonald's plus the ramp back on to 91S is right there.

 

I could be wrong, but I don't think the guys meeting at hooters are going to stop at the Stamford location. Stamford is just another meeting point for the SW Connecticut guys.

 

+1

 

I'll most likely be leaving from Enfield, CT towards the meet up in weathersfield if anyone else is headed that way....

 

Bump!!!! I'm pumped for this!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Justin, see if you can remember to bring our trophies from last year, i gotta show people that i have won before

 

Cant wait!

 

^^ are you guys coming down from 84?? I'll wait on the side of the highway in that case

 

Anyone from Central MA will probably be taking 90 to 84...I'll be going through springfield to enfield, and meeting at hooters from there.

If anyone in the Springfield/Enfield area wants to meet and go from there, I'm down.

 

Zing, we can I meet up with ya?

 

I'm right past the tolls once you get to CT, and they usually roll down the pike to 84 so I'll just wait on the side I won't ask them to get off if it's just me like usual in the area. That way I also don't have a 45 min ride by myself to get to the meet spot, so just to clarify MA guys aren't joining up at the Hooter's stop even though you go right by? Bigger caravans the better

 

Cant wait! I will be there
