Hopefully this will be a great turnout. if anyone has any suggestion on route change feel free to email me @ [email protected]


There are plenty of stores/food/services on Grafton st to pick up a bite to eat/fill up on gas/etc.

Also - If possible bring a 2-way radio and tune to channel 17 to communicate with each other in case of a breakdown/gas station break/etc, etc. They can be found at most any electronics store in packages of 2, so split the cost with someone and you just both saved yourself some money. There is a Radioshack/Building 19/Brooks/CVS all on Grafton st, that all may carry these radio's but I'm not sure on pricing.

I would have definitely joined you guys if I had known earlier. I have a project that I need to work on at 1 and you guys are basically starting off right next to my school. I'm at WPI and your starting point is practically right here. This sucks would of been the first time I could of ever joined in a NSX cruise. Although I dont' really have an NSX but it still would of been fun.
