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."
 
FYI an NSX was the Lead car in this when we were pulled over....

HOWEVER we werent pulled over for speeding infact we were doing 65mph (in a 65) as we came up on the cop and he hit me with the radar and a few cars behind. all within the limit.

He pulled us all over and then more troopers showed up and pulled over everyone else as they were coming through.

no one that i am aware of that was pulled over in the 100+ group was fined for speeding. they got no front plate, and some tint tickets.
 
This is harassment and profiling if I ever saw it.

Great, and RSO is in Japan, he would love this type of thing.

How was the event at Monticello? I was at there garage for an event a couple of weeks before this and was invited to attend. When I heard how they were going to run it I passed, it just sounded like a very slow and dangerous day on the track.

I have driven that road dozens of times when I was in vet school. Who were they "protecting" from what? It's not like there's much of anything out there, especially near Liberty. Once saw a Bentley Turbo R out there hauling ass. Hell hath no fury like a government agency out to pick people's pockets.

ONE OF YOU GUYS should have kept going and not pull over so the cops would chase you and the rest could get away.

take one for the team. LOL

they were milking you typical Troopers, they would give their sick grandmother a ticket.
 
Ya'll are having too much fun without me! Hope all is well with everyone! Happy holidays!

Hey Rich,

We miss you out here, hows life on the shaky side? I sure miss it but glad to see you checking up on us every now and then. Do you miss not being here? Silly question but thought I'd ask.

Best,

Tytus
 
Miss you guys, too! Even Roger! Lol...

Will be headed out there soon. I definitely miss the FOOD. CA is terrible in that department. I need to walk the city again...kinda having nostalgia.

CA is ok. Treating me well...LockSAF is doing well with exponential growth 3rd year in a row. Can't beat that!

Have fun and be SAF out there, guys!

Well, we recently upgraded the processor in the safe and it opens slightly faster. The light in the fingerprint recognition window is now white so that the wider spectrum of light will allow for a clearer picture during the recognition process. Other than that, the safe looks and feels exactly the same.

We've been doing so well this year. In fact, customers have sold me out twice this year and the number of PBS-001's sold this year is equivalent to what we sold in the previous 2 years. I can't seem to keep them in stock. The reviews are phenomenal especially on Amazon.com.

Things are going well and we expect to be even bigger next year! Hope your safe is treating you well.
