Northeast Gearheads - Which events do you attend?

**rob07002** · 01-18-2005

I have to admit I'm not much for car shows. But I wanted to know which events my fellow Noreasters attend, would like to attend, and must goto. I want to try and hit a few within reasonable distance this year, and would love to see some you at these places....

Check Norm's post in this thread

Norm and Steevo are the only Northeast members that I'm aware of who are actively auto-x'ing/tracking old cars right now.

Howard Tanner (Novacane) runs his C5 at Watkins Glen.

Wait, is he asking about show/cruise events? Then this thread is in the wrong section.

**Ralph LoGrasso** · 01-18-2005

Rob,

I go to the big swap meet that Englishtown holds a few times. I think it's in August? It's good fun. I haven't made it there in a couple of years, though. I was going to attend the mopar nats that were held at englishtown last year (or maybe the year prior) but the person I was supposed to go with couldn't attend. BTW, I moved the thread to non-racing events, but if you were talking about track events, let me know and I'll move it back.

**rob07002** · 01-19-2005

Thanks Ralph, I was talking about events in general, racing, carshows, cruises..etc It doesn't matter to me where you put the thread. The E-town swap meet is twice a year, in late April, and again in late September... I just bought a house about 10 minutes away from Raceway park, and will definatly be there for the spring meet. Let me know if you want to go.... You even have a place to crash if you want....Beer is on me...

**69bigblock** · 01-19-2005

There really isn't much going on in my area. I usually go to the
NewEngland summer nationals in Mass, but this year I would like to go super-chevy either in PA or NH...
A couple times a year I go up to lebanon valley NY.

**TPI Monte SS** · 01-19-2005

I'm going to try for Super Chevy in Maple Grove PA this year, since my car is complete. I also attend the swap meet down in E-town every April, and have my car out in the show. Last fall the wicked 'Cuda that was featured in PHR was there; the one with the twin-turbo'd Viper V10.

There are also some big cruise nights here in Jersey. The one I usually hit is the Whiskey Cafe Cruise Night right off Rt. 3 in Lyndhurst. It's on Saturday nights.

**Ralph LoGrasso** · 01-19-2005

Rob,

I'm up for E-town in April,, should be a fun event. Now I just need to remember in April that it's coming up. I'll try to post something on here in the beginning of April so that we can meet up, maybe Steve ^ will be up for meeting up as well.

**qwik1320** · 01-19-2005

I usually go to Maple Grove for Super Chevy, and Carlisle once or twice a year.

Is there a way we can post these events on the calendar here? Maybe we could add our names to the ones we'd be attending?

**Ralph LoGrasso** · 01-19-2005

Todd, you should be able to add events to the calender? When we set up the board, we set it up so that everyone could add events. Please let me know if it is not working, and I'll find out why.

**qwik1320** · 01-19-2005

OK Ralph, thanks. I haven't looked at the calendar that often yet, as I get some schedules to some events here in PA I'll put them on. Right now I'm playing in the snow...FINALLY!

**nitrovette** · 01-20-2005

Ive been going to englishtown meets for 22 years now,remember when it was all gravel on airport side.I wish we had more cruise spots in south jersey,we have one in turnersville at the fuddruckers every friday night,but thats about it.

**RobM** · 01-20-2005

i go to limerock every memorial day weekend, as well as watch many of their track days. they have a ferrari track day ever year wich is very nice to watch. i also work on a formula car that races there every once and while

You can also do a google search - New Jesey Car Shows and click on the 57 chevy one that lists all the cruise night and local show dates - will keep you busy
Hope this helps - Jack

**nitrovette** · 01-21-2005

Hey thanks for the great adventure outlets one in jackson,my wife shops there all the time,didnt know they had a friday show.

**TPI Monte SS** · 01-21-2005

The site that Jack metioned is www.njcarshow.com - lists most cruise nights and carshows for the season.

Ralph and all, we should meet up at the Spring Englishtown Swapmeet - it's April 15, 16, and 17. Our category of cars would show on Saturday the 16th. If we contact them ahead of time, we could probably put all of our cars together as the "ProTouring Club" or something to that effect. They usually allow club members to park together if they have enough notice.

**sunkistcamaro** · 01-21-2005

I go to The New England Summer Nationals on July 4th weekend and try to make it to Limerock as as may times as I can.

Meeting up at the show, and parking together on the 16th sounds great. I'll try and remember, but if not, someone please post a reminder in the beginning of April. My car won't be done until the end of summer / beginning of fall, so I'll be cruising my Tahoe. It's as far as you can get from pro-touring as of right now, but hey, it's got 12" wide tires? Maybe they'll let me park in the group anyways. J/K

**nitrovette** · 01-21-2005

Id like to meet up also,the vette wont be done till after april but id like to still meet up.
