NorthEast shows/dates? Possible Billetproof NorthEast

hhhhmmmmmm.... looks like a good facility... at least from space via Mapquest

kinda central, a place to do burnouts, some gr*** for the car show....

hhhmmmm.....

 

good ideas on locations... we will NOT be re-enacting the swamp at Watkins Glen though

will take you up on the invite. I'll be out that way sometime before the holidays to scout around.

 

New Egypt speedway is open for a show. We almost did it last year to replace the Jump+Jive venue. Very cool people there. I can help coordinate.

The place is huge. Enough parking for thousands of cars. Two places to setup a band + concessions, bathrooms, and, security all ready to go.

The location is near Great Adventure, so it's easy to find, and central to many people (But not close to anyone).

 

How about this place, New Jersey Motorsports Park http://www.njmotorsportspark.com/overview.html
it's new and very big. We have been there a few times this year, very cool place. Not much shade though.....running around on one of the road courses would be cool though!

 

It's also in my hometown.

 

what town?

Choptop- Our club, Aces & Eights puts on the Hellbound Hayride, Eastern Pa. We did not have a show this year due to last minute, prior to publicity, loss of venue, however we are interested in discussing and alliance for 2009, as an alternative to running our own show. We are well connected including in the entertainment area, (last year our headliner was the Belmont *******s), in this area and very well organized. PM me, I'd like to discuss more.

 

Sorry to hijack, delete if you want, I was there that day. A lot of WOWs on the spectator side!

I was there too and shot this photo from the rear of Big's left slick. Maybe you can find yourself in the background!!!

 

I definately vote for Island Dragway, very old nostalgic site.

 

Hot Rod Riot 4 will be on Saturday, July 11th.
Never been to any Billetproof event.

Host Club - We are happy running our own show.

Area - ortheast should be in New England.

Venue - I was at a seafood fest in Charlestown, RI at an old Naval air base. Lots of space, paved, even an old runway.
Last but not least...

Cars/Participants - as long as it was a good value and had good music and beer.

Wouldn't it be cool to say I did see myself!! Alas, that is not the case. Cool pic though.

Island Dragway is realy cool, plus its next to Shades of Death Rd.!!

 

Yes!

 

Well, I've gotten a ton of response to this off-line... looks like there is the interest for a Billetproof NorthEast.

The next step will be to travel out that way and do some scouting. Will have to book some dates here in the next week or so. Will have plenty of places to look at.

Will try to make the event something definitely worth coming to. Considering locations that have a track or a nice town to have a cruise at... Something a little more than just a show.

 

What PoconoRat said, and also, Pocono Raceway is very close to I-80, I-81, PaTpke, NYC, NJ, Phila. However, Goodguys was there Sept 26-28 this year, so you would have to look at some other time of the year.

 

I think Island Dragway could be a very cool spot my only hangup with that place would be how the owners of the track let you have your way with your show, I know insurance comes into play.....the Ole Daze meet at island is a friggin joke, it is filled with camaros and malibus because of the cutoff date, defintley a nostalgic place not to far off rt 80 to have a cool meet, I think there would be enough room if you can utilize both sides of the track and not have the pits filled with race trailers and so on. If you guys look into this place give me a hollar and some of the local guys can show you around, I'm about 35 minutes or so away.

 

Mid july was the date the Road Agents had for 8 or so years in East Hartford Ct. Nothing has taken it's place. They always had a great turnout.

 

Hey Alan,

I talked to this guy in Rhinebeck. I see him at a lot of Midwest and East Coast swaps. He had some ideas of locations near Albany and wanted to help.

Albany and environs are a good location... pretty central.

You need help with the show - as long as it isnt conflicting with another one I work with- . Dana & I are in to help in any way we can.


Id also think of having the show in CT- and get the help of the CT street rod ***oc.They are good guys.

IF you want to come up here in MA to check out MA/NH area- you are welcomed to hang here -at both the shop and our house.

 

way cool, and danke mucho.

I'll be setting aside some time to get out that way soon.

when does the snow start to fly?

 

The snow could start as early as another month. Of course, with global warming, we may not get snow until April!

Fall in New England is definitely worth checking out.

Like Chop Shop, we're here to help in any way we can. The wife is out of work, so if you need any help with accomodations/reservations, she's a corporate business travel coordinator. (Sorry, no extra bedroom).

Also, any show ***istance you may need, just let me know.

 

damn- its cold this morning- it could be TODAY ...LOL

Hey - you know- if you DO come out this way, I could hold a 'meeting' of sorts at the shop for you with anyone who wants to help you out... Lemme know OK?

 

Looks like scheduling this one might be tough. Lots going on in the North East, and when there isnt something going on, there is already a Billetproof show in another part of the country. Hmmmm.....

will have to put some more thought into this.

There is a way, I just dont know how yet.
