Connecticut Foliage Ride - Saturday 10-12-08
 
Ok Kids:
The summer is rapidly going away and Saturday is looking to be a clear, dry day. Is there any interest at all in doing a ride to Lime Rock for lunch? How about Oliver's in Essex? They have outdoor seating and lots of parking. How about the Aspen Gardens in Litchfield? Anywhere?

I know I'll be doing it alone but I thought I would give it a try. You Connecticut guys would hate the group on Long Island. They actually drive their cars. Did I mention they also go fast?

I have been driving the crap out of mine!
Again, sounds like a great plan, but have unfortunately already made plans for the car all weekend

I don't know Bob. We drove down today to meet the LI guys and you were out driving around where? Next Sunday is the plan for another group run up and around Lime Rock, bring your ear muffs.

Today I was at Stafford Springs Speedway, a terrific day of racing www.staffordspeedway.com . Next Sunday I will be at Thompson Speedway www.thompsonspeedway.com for the Whelen cars, the Supermodifieds and the NEMA guys.

Is anyone at all interested in a Saturday run next weekend? I did a hundred miles yesterday - from Milford to Madison to Essex to points north, home via the Merritt. Ran into an all red FFR but could not even get a wave. Bite me!

Remember, LRP is closed on Sundays.

Can't make it on Saturday, but if anyone's gonna do a Sunday run, I'm in. Gotta work on Sat.

Cashburn 10-12-2008 07:35 PM

We will finalize it soon. It will be Sunday that is for sure.

Stay close to this thread and dig out that old leather. Glad I installed a heater.

My Buddy owns a highly modified Z-28, is he allowed to come on these Cobra runs with us ford guys. We go all over the place, he will not have a hard time keeping up I assure you...lol!!

Is anyone getting together this weekend? I might be up for a ride on Sunday.

Jay

ZOERA-SC7XX 10-14-2008 05:50 PM

Jay. See the related thread. Jay from Backdraft is putting it together. All are welcome.

jay bentley 10-14-2008 06:19 PM

That ride is a few hours out for me. If anyone wants to take a ride on the eastern side of the state let me know. I guess anywhere from Mt. Wachussett in Mass. down to Newport or Mystic depending on weather.

Just a thought.

The route goes right through there, if anyone wants to make that a checkpoint we can. Would likely extend the trip time an extra hour or so... but a nice opportunity.

Bob In Ct 10-14-2008 08:09 PM

Let's end this thread right here. Please post to Cashburn's thread regarding a foliage run on Sunday 10-19-2008.

I'm game!
I live in Southbury, it is on the way to the wings and wheels show from the wallingford area, beautiful; backroads all the way there!
