Default massachusetts meets

i think some of us in ma need to put our brains together and see if there is a enough of us to maybe find a descent spot to meet maybe monthly ...i know we all have very busy lives thats why i think a weekly thing wouldnt work. i guess the other thing is we would need to figure out a good area where its not too far for everyone to meet ...im in leominster maybe some of the fitchburg,gardner,winchendon guys chime in. if anyone has suggestions feel free to talk

hit me up Justin when you goto bass bro we can get a crew and drive there together, but Kimball could be a good meet for us central mass guys. I know they have a show at the pacc in Gardner too on Fridays I believe, there's tons of places and shows ee could crash and make it an ls1 show in my opinion way better then any car show lol. Keep me filled in cause I had a blast Saturday at slowhawk.

I missed Slowhawks DD again!!!! GGGGRRRRRRR...friggin work..had it off too but nope had to screw the days up...ohh well..

Just a heads up on Bass Pro..Check out the Mass Cruisers page on Facebook. They are thinking of changing it because of some burnouts being done by a few people at the end of the nite last Thursday... Eliminating anything late model. 80's 90's to now..A simple flyer and banner stating NO BURNOUTS or YOUR OUT would keep things in check..but yea head over to the FB page. let them know what you think about them not letting late model perofrmance cars in there. There is a few of us there trying to keep it from completly changing the show. But keep in mind nothing is done yet..just be civil and let them know you go and enjoy and respect the night..dont punish those who have late model cars.

They'd have to remove the speed bumps to the Gardner PACC for me to go to that one! I've been trying to make time to hit up Kimballs in Lancaster for a couple years and still haven't made it there yet... That location makes a lot of sense for many of us though.

Kimballs is a haul and a half for me.. About an hour and a half. I could make it every once in a while, but it won't be a common thing. I can't wait for the car shows near me to start again!

I am definitely interested in trying to get together on a more regular basis; I enjoyed our time at Slowhawk's DD. I have quite a few time conflicts these days, but if you keep me in the loop I'll try to cherry pick a meet-up or two. Assuming Chuck gets things rolling at JR's in Fitchburg, you can expect to see me down there pretty regular on Wednesday nights; close to home, mellow crowd, and you can walk around with a beer in your hand...
