C&C meet details for Saturday, Nov 21
All,
We will have a meet this Saturday November 21. This a change from the original schedule due to the weather forecast, facility availability and because we try to alternate Saturdays and Sundays and have had a lot of Sunday meets (trying to be fair to people who have fixed ongoing conflicts on either day to give them an opportunity to come to at least one meet a month).
Location
Hacklebarney State Park
119 Hacklebarney Road
Long Valley, NJ 07853
Do not use GPS to get there. It may take you on gravel or extremely potholed roads. Take Route 206 from the North or South to Old Route 24 (Main Street in Chester, NJ). Turn west at the traffic light to get on to Old Route 24. After 1.4 miles, make a sharp left on to State Park Road. Go 1.9 miles. Turn right to stay on State Park Road. Go 0.2 miles. Turn left into the park. When you get to the parking lot, go to the extreme left side of the lot. Go into the park entrance at an angle and slow if you have an extremely low front air dam (like Kirk does on his GT3RS -- if he can make it in, you can!).
There are public restrooms there but no food or drink, so please bring your own if you like.
Time: 8:30 to 11 am.
Please -- as always, no burnouts or loud revving.
ALSO, A HEAD'S UP THAT, DUE TO REQUESTS, WE MAY DO AN UNSCHEDULED MEET ON SUNDAY 11/29 (THANKSGIVING WEEKEND). Many people have family in town that weekend and like to share C&C with them. We will let you know later next week, but it is likely we will do so. As always, if we do a meet and when we do one, is weather dependent.
See you Saturday,
