2015 NY/CT Event Calendar

[SlateEd]

Huge thanks to everyone who helped put this together! We are off and running with the plan - We have some flexibility to explore a few more ideas, including Oakland Valley Karting, A tour at Sikorsky, and some cruises with our friends in New England and New Jersey - expect to see some exciting super-regional things!
We're also considering a few weeknight get-togethers, like Bear Mountain, Glen Cove, Lebanon Valley Drag Racing, etc.

We will be emailing detailed info about each event as the date approaches so please keep an eye out for those.

Need more going on in Buffalo!

[SlateEd]

Hey Don - I agree! We need more members to join in the Rochester / Buffalo area and organize stuff! (I know it's chicken and egg, but something has to start it, right?)

Drop me a PM, let's be in touch more and talk about Western NY At the very least, I'll be in Rochester in July we should meet up!

Ct Fall Foliage Cruise Sunday Oct 25th!

Link to thread: http://driveviper.com/forums/threads...817#post168817

Meeting at the commuter parking lot in Cheshire CT off I84. From there we will cruise about a half hour up Rt8 North till the expressway ends and there will be a chance to gas up. From there we will cruise through Litchfield County and Goshen along some scenic roadways and through a covered bridge on the way to Kent Falls State Park where you will have some time to walk up along the falls and take pictures and another bathroom break. Leaving there we'll go to lunch at 1st and Ten.

Anyone who wants to meet us at 1st & Ten without going on the cruise, we should be there noonish.

When we leave 1st & Ten, we are going right by On Track Karting, its 5 miles and less than 5 minutes away. Anyone want to try and beat Chuck?? 1st and ten is less than 10 minutes from I84 east and west.

Meeting time is 9:00,
Departure time is 9:15
Meeting spot is the commuter parking lot just North of I84 exit 26, if coming from the west, take a left at the traffic light at the end of the ramp, straight through the next light, and the lot is on your left, if coming from the east, take a right at the end of the ramp and the lot is on your left.
