Update

With just under two weeks to go, our "cars attending " list has grown to 42. Wow.....the New England group is really turning out in force this year!

We have quite a few who have never attended an event before and if possible I would like to hook them up with someone, or perhaps a group, coming from their general area. Doing a drive with other 928'ers is a big part of the event experience.

Tass - looking forward to this event! What time should we plan to arrive? Brad & I were planning to caravan, and will probably meet on the Pike at the first rest area west of 128. So, anyone else driving the Pike from the Boston area is welcome to join up - just need to pick a time to meet.

Also, is there a "better" ride your way than taking the Pike?

Brian,

Carl has indicated that he would be part of group drive to Wilbraham and he has been here many times n the past. Maybe he will chime in and we can get something organized.

As for start time, officially its' 10:00 but if you (or anyone) would like to make a longer day of it, I will be hanging around the garage, dragging my own cars out and setting up pretty early. Feel free to come and hang out, the coffee will be on the stove.

Anyone going to this that has a set of rear wheel spacers kicking around that they'd want to sell and bring to the Session?

The early cars had (optional) 21mm slip on hub centric spacers, but had longer wheel studs. If your car never had the spacers and you have the short studs you will need a bolt on spacer with studs, and 10 more lug nuts.

This is true. Got you covered though, I have both types "in stock".

I will lead people out there, but it will be highway because as it is, it's a 1.5 hour trip from me.
If anyone wants to do non-highway, we would have to get an early start, like 7am. It would be more fun than the mass pike which is heavily patrolled and full of SUV and minivan traffic in all 3 lanes...

I will be coming from New York, likely take the Thruway to the Mass Pike. If anyone is driving around that way, we could meet up in Kingston or someplace and then caravan up.

Since it looks like I will not have time to blow up the engine next week, I'll try to make it there!
