Monthly New Jersey Hotrod Meet?

Are there really dry lake beds?

 

I am I am saying Edison park 3rd friday of every month 6:30 we can talk about doing a run there, see how it goes if its not a great place well switch locations, lets at least get it together first without bullshitting for months we will start in april.

 

Good idea. Are you also taking on the responsibility for the required permits and fees?

If Edison doesn't work out, take a look at Wall Stadium. They are hosting a car show from 6-9 PM on the second Friday of the month from April through October. If we get a reasonable number of attendees they might allow us to block off a HAMB area.

 

so that's it for a "trial" friday night, april 23,10, - 6:30 P.m.- at Edison park, behind Middlesex County College, not Roosevelt Park, correct? a permit would be OK, but might be unnecessary this time only, lets see how many show, and go from there?

 

Corrected. Im not worried about permits for the first time out

 

Since I work 2nd shift, friday nights are out for me.
Now not to hi jack your idea here, but if anyone wants to meet up on the weekend let me know.
How about a meet and greet at the Cowtown swap meet?
Good Luck guys wiith Edison meet and greet
later
Wayne

 

ill be there. next sunday right?

 

I'll be at the swap meet. I'm up in central jersey for a few months on an assignment for work and am having withdrawl. I had to leave all my tools and hotrods in Houston!! If anyone needs a hand with their project let me know.

 

any good at tuning an edelbrock carb ?

 

free labor. sure sure you can come help out. where at in central nj?

 

Pat yes it's next sunday
Now we have a place
all we need now is a time

Cowtown swap meet
Salem County Fair Grounds
Rt40 Woodstown NJ

 

I'm in Princeton.

 

only problem with a county park is you have to be out by sunset will only give us like a hr

 

Im sure no one will kick us out and if they do well move somewhere else

 

Suggestion for Cowtown - get there early. Rt 40 is one lane each way and will be a cluster fxxk getting in and out. Last time I went I got there at 7:00 left to go home about 10:00 AM and the traffic was backed up probably 2-3 miles coming from Turnpike/295.

 

so how many people are up for this ?

 

Just some ideas for some rides. The people I used to ride vintage scooters with did rides like this on saturdays and sundays. We always met up at around 6am and rode all day. We usually took state highways or back roads. We did northern NJ and southern NJ routes. Some guys would start to the meet up spot around 5am. We were pretty hardcore about riding as much as we could on one day.

This route is a 101 mile route from the Bendix Diner in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ to Lambertville, NJ. It starts out on Route 46, but at 6am there is no one on the road. Sure the ride out of Bergen County is not much to look at, but its like driving out to western NJ for a family vacation back in the 1930-1950s. Once you get past Wayne, NJ, Route 46 starts to calm down a bit. You leave Rt. 46 at Hackettstown, NJ and head towards backroads.

Check out the route:
Northern NJ Ride #1

Maybe someone from southern NJ can do a route down there.

 

"Maybe someone from southern NJ can do a route down there"

well here in CNJ just follow ELD route to Hillsboro then head to Hopewell and Lambertville is just down the road. All back roads too.

 

I'm in for Edison Park the 23rd.

 

Thats a tight journey...I like that...nice roads, and woods...hell, if it ends in Lamberville, I'm jumping ship for New Hope, and getting me some Taco Loco!
I like the ELD path, and this too...

 

So Since its going to rain tonight well meet the 23rd
