More than 100 high-end driving machines including Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and BMWs eating up the 117 miles of road on from Syosset to the Monticello Motor Club Sunday were pulled over by State Troopers.
The mass stop happened about 11:30 a.m., said Sgt. Raymond Walter of the State Police in Liberty, after numerous 911 calls were made to Sullivan County dispatchers about vehicles racing west on Route 17.
Walter said the stop was made about 10 miles from the Motor Club, a resort located at the foot of Catskill Mountains, that's home to a 4.1-mile private track.
About 30 tickets for various infractions were issued, Walter said, including six for speeding at 100 mph.
"I guess they thought the race started earlier on Route 17," Walter said.
Seth Rose, founder of Exotics Rally in Hicksville, said about 220 people taking part in the Turkey Run for Charity spent $100 to cover the day's expenses and raise cash for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Exotics Rally has been organizing group drives since 2007, and Rose said participants are told to follow the law.
Rose said he was unaware of any speeding tickets being issued, but anybody found to have broken the law would be ejected from the group.
"It really didn't put a damper on the day," said Rose, who organizes rally events full-time.
"We were able to raise a lot of money."
