The pike used to be HUGE 5+ years ago. I can seriously remember going out on nice weekends and it was packed with every kind of car; ricers to 1000HP Blown alchy injected pro streets, and everything in between. Awesome car shows all over, burnouts in every parking lot and no one cared. Cops would just tell us to leave.

Now, after the whole F&F scene it's gone downhill.

The reason why the pike "died" was due to idiots gettin them selves killed on the pike, or racing in New Haven or Hartford. They don't want people racing. But then they are kicking them out of the parking lots.

D&D near circuit city used to be packed, wall to wall Friday and Sat. All american cars in the front row. If you had a import (a crappy one) people told you to get the "F" out.

Now most people don't really go up until Sat.

We got a good crew that all hang together, it would be cool to get more. Some peeps from ESP, JL-ws6, My best bud and his 2 bro's. I think its more about hanging with good friends.

Once the weather gets nice burgerking become's a big hotspot on the berlin turnpike. Some fast cars go there, from nice stock cars to older cars to 9 second cars and I remember that white 8 second mustang there a few time's as well.
