North/Central NJ Meet In Secaucus
Jersey meets have been weaksauce lately this year. It's time to revive the meet scene and have some fun while keeping it civilized and organized!
Address: ShowPlace 14 Theater 650 Plaza Drive Secaucus, NJ 07094 (meet behind the theater and watch out for the speed bumps)
When: every thursday starting June 9
Time: 8pm till whenever
Who can come? = Z/G owners only so far
(let's try and keep this meet on the low for now so it doesn't suffer the same fate as jersey meets in the past always do)
Why this spot? = it's located near major highways, there's a lot of good places to eat, the roads are smooth around here, plus I think its a good centralized location for those in NJ and NY cause it's 5 mins from Lincoln tunnel.
Security/police issues? = no police patrol usually but there's security, if we keep noise level down and go eat at the restaurants once in a while, then i assume they won't bother us and treat us like customers rather than loiterers.
Z owners are responsible so we all know what not to do. let's make this meet successful and hopefully last till the summer/fall.

There couldn't be a worse spot for a meet - Harmon Meadow is always jammed with cars, nobody has respect for other peoples vehicles, and the speed humps are too high.
Even worse than that is Hartz Mountain Security, the cops, and especially the thieves. I have worked in this complex for 12 years, and my daily driver and at least 15 co-worker's cars have been broken into or stolen. That is why the cops and security are very strict. Your whole point about easy access is exactly why thieves love this place - they can literally escape to anywhere in just a few minutes. The cops told me just on the weekends they get 10 calls for car break ins. You will get harassed - guaranteed.
I will never park my Z there unattended, this is a horrible spot for unsanctioned meets.

Dont be all defensive. I am only trying to help.
Yes I still work there, and just off the top of my head here are some of the cars that were broken into:
chevy Z24 (mine, $1600 worth of damage for a blaupunkt with no faceplate, and $5 in change )
volkswagon GTI
3 BMWs (2 stolen)
infiniti m45
landrover
Kawasaki ninja (stolen)
honda prelude
cadillac CTS (attempted stolen, but they got caught by security AND GOT AWAY)
You can give it a shot if you like, but don't say I didn't warn you. It only takes 2 minutes to smash and grab - and why wouldnt thieves hang around when a bunch of nice cars try to park all by themselves in the back of a lot?
Plus like I said you will more than likely get tossed by security and/or the cops.

Ok myork, point taken. let's just hope for the best and cross our fingers that we don't encounter any setbacks since i've managed to generate a good amount of interest in this meet so far including the 370z forum.
also what do you know about the hotrod car show/cruise night that goes on there on thurs nights? has that been going on for awhile? i saw it here

I dont think it is there anymore - 3 years ago they moved it to the Walmart lot, and then last year it was at the clocktower plaza on rt 17. It was there before they built the movie theater, but it was sanctioned by Hartz Mountain and blocked off.
However if they are bringing it back, it would be kinda hard to toss people people out for hanging out, so that might be a good thing.

Meet canceled today!
i just checked the weather report. it says "Thunderstorms likely. Some may be severe, especially this evening. Storms may produce large hail and strong winds. Low 71F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 80%"
meet next thursday instead same time. plus the heat is pretty rough. i kinda don't feel like being outside when it's this humid.
