Hey guys,
Looks like we have a nice group so far. Here are my preliminary thoughts. I am leaning towards Sunday, May 28th, although I just realized it is Memorial Day weekend. It shouldn't be so bad traffic-wise at 7am-8am on a Sunday however.
Since it looks like we have a pretty large CT contingent, I am thinking of having two meeting spots: one for the NY/NJ folks and another for the CT folks. The NY/NJ meeting spot will probably be somewhere near the Palisades Pkwy. We'd drive up and meet with the CT folks at a designated location and then we head up together and eventually end up at Lime Rock for the GT Rolex Challenge/Hemmings Car Show. Racing is not allowed on Sundays at Lime Rock, so there is only the car show portion. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.
If people are not interested in the car show we can end up at a breakfast place close to Lime Rock and after, whoever is interested can check out the show. The show is from 10am-3pm, so we'll have time.
I am just thinking out loud and these are just some preliminary thoughts.
Let me know what you guys think.

Well I was hoping it wouldn't be the 21st because I am showing both my cars at the Cocnours. (See you there). Unfortunatly the 28th is the NNJR Car Control Clinic which i will also be attending. So I guess i miss on both counts.
Hope to see a lot of you at the Zone 1 Concours.

Last year I met a bunch of guys on the Palisaides Pkwy at a rest stop in the middle of the road (it could be accessed from either direction) but I don't remember exactly where it was, I think it was a little south of the Tappen Zee Bridge. It seemed to work for most.

Great plan Arrwin and I should be able to swing the 28th.
There is a center rest stop on the Palisades and it's the only one with Gas and Service. The other one is for visitor info and is just south of Bear Mountain.

I just learned that I have a 4 year-old's birthday party I have to attend on the 28th. There's a chance I can do part of the run early, but I won't be able to make it to Lime Rock, sadly.
