[lightninmike]

so does anyone want to head down to Jersy for fun ford in may
and hit epping in aug
i think it would make a cool caravan to travel down to jersy together

I'm definatly going to Epping, and it would be very cool to go down as a group. I will have to look into what plans I have for May to see if NJ is possible... :thumbsup:

Ill be going to epping when FFW rolls around there. Ive been two years in a row and its a blast!

 

[lightninmike]

yeah epping is going to happen for me as well

i would just love to go to jersy though, seeing as it is one of if not the best track in the states

Fortunately for you, new hampsire is above CT, which means no NY driving. If i had to drive through NY to get to FFW i might just not go, i HATE driving through that putrid state!
I plan on heading up either friday night after work, or saturday morning. The last two times ive gone ive had my g/f with me, but now that shes an ex i guess ill be treading this path alone, hahahahaha! If anyone is leaving around when i would be id love to join a caravan headed up.

Nope, its at New England Dragway. Its Sat. Aug 21, and Sun. Aug 22. Heres a link to the official site:

All in all, the drive there is usually pretty pleasant. I think with the cobra last year i made 2 fuel stops, and one food stop, so its a pretty quick trip too.

ffw is in e-town this year
but also in NH
i was talking about going to both

 

[notdisturbed]

Ooh, thanks for pointing that out lightninmike, didnt even pay enough attention to see that its in NJ this year too. Hmmm.....only thing holding me back is the drive through hell(NY state). Went to englishtown for one of the final drag days they had last season, it was a blast, very nice track. Maybe ill have to go.

 

[lightninmike]

ah come on your only in NY for 25 miles!!!! its not that bad
acctualy i am going to jersy tonight for work, and was there monday night
its not bad at all, just that little stint before the GW but even that is only 2-3 miles

 

[notdisturbed]

Oh god, even if i do go i always stay FAR away from the GW! I always head over the tapanzee, keeps me away from the city and the major traffic. If i can afford it, i think i will do the NJ FFW.

I-287 WB across the Tappan Zee bridge and then through Rockland County is just as smooth as I-84 is from Waterbury to Danbury. At least NY State marks their secondary roads well where as CT many times doesn't mark their secondary roads. Makes getting lost a pia. But then again, my car hasn't been south of I-84 since I got it.
