Default Are there ever any Meets on the Berlin Turnpike?

I used to go there last year with my GTP and meet up with the CONNCGP People, but I dont ever hear about/know about any FBody meets. Are there any? I know a bunch of guys go to dunkin.. but then there are some ******** too (some kid with an LT1 "IronHeart" was being a wiseass to me at dunkin..). Anyway, do any of you Eastside boys go up to the pike, do you meet, anything? I know the DSM guys do the same as well. If not, maybe we could try organizing something? Maybe the guys from southwestern mass/RI/NY could meet up with us or something?

I ended up going up there a few weeks ago on a friday night and there was a few other f bodys up there and alot of imports. I guess every friday night there is a car show at hooters and every saturday night there is a car show at burger king. I plan on going again either next fri or sat.

Just get to BK early and park where you want, so they don't stick you around the drive thru or in the dirt.

ripping starters apart? That's odd. Maybe that flywheel isn't centered perfect? that's the only thing I can think of that could cause that. Odd. Try having ken get you one of those hughes flexplates, maybe that will fix it?

Hope mine doesn't start any nonsense like that after the swap

Gman and I headed up together. If you want to go sometime, post up and set a time and place to meet. We saw a lot of f-bodies driving around, but none hanging out anywhere. Ther were a few at the Hooters show.

I'm down there almost every weekend w/ my Camaro. I hang out everywhere but Dunkin is usually safe for Domestics, although I've seen rice there lately. I also love rollin' through Wendys to mess with the imports lol.

Not bad, a little of both, but it has gotten better. I always have a blast when we go either way

o.k. that one. There's one thats well.. ahem, bring yoru own booze and watch the show..... I didn't think you were into that type of thing, ya don't strike me as the type LOL.

maybe when my junk's running and I'm back out and about I'll have to make a side trip when I'm down @ the pike one night. Id' say I'd go now, but goign there in the subaru, is worse then the transam. That's loud enough to scare the : away, especially when it's back together.. then it will be really loud... but teh subaru, stock to the air filter, gets challenged by everything on the road.. hell I think I saw a kid on a moped pull up next to me last time I went that way at night in that car and I think if I tried to race him in the subaru, I would have lost LOL. (car's spineless, IMO)
