Here's the link to Rebecca's coverage of last years event. She surely nailed the flavor of the meet!

Barring all horrible incidents this fall, I am planning on making it this year!

 

Get there early. The traditional/vintage race section fills up fast. Your car shouldn't end up in the overflow field with the street rods and stockers.

 

That sucks!!!!! that is the same date as the Fallout show in So. Glastonbury.

 

Yeah, I'm between a rock and a hard place. I'm committed to work the Gathering and I want to do the Rolling Bones run as I have for the last 7 years. Plans are to end up at the Fallout show at the end of Saturday. Plans are to leave the Gathering around 3-4 and head out to the Fallout, then finish the Bones run on Sunday. If the Gathering is rained out on Saturday, it'll happen on Sunday instead, Then I'll miss the Fallout and the run.

 

Bringing my wife to the Fallout show was the best thing I have done. Now I dont have to hear her crying about me buying hotrod parts. She's into it now.

 

Paul,


I plan on being there.

Pete-

 

hi Paul, I plan on being there. Jared

 

That's a pretty long trip for me, Paul, but well worth the travel time.
I'll be there for sure...see you all then!

 

i'll be there early!

 

This show is the same day as the Hot Rod Fall Out in South Glastonbury, Connecticut. So here is the deal.... get your ass up early and hit the Gathering. Hang out and then truck your ass down to Connecticut for the Fall Out. We will post directions from the Gathering to the Fall Out. Like wise if your at the Fall Out take a ride up to the Gathering and then truck back for the Fall Out night time festivities.

Sunday is the Ty-Rods annual swap meet in Stafford , CT

 

Define:"EARLY"

 

Five OOO Five AM

 

I'll be there.

 

will you have to stop at the rest area

 

Great event Paul, I was there 3 or 4 years ago. Took forever to get there on I95, maybe the Mass Pike is the way to go.

 

Hope to be there with the boys from South Shore.

 

I`ll be there,maybe I`ll get up early enough to get there with the rest of the S.S.S,R,

 

Looks like im going to have to install some coffee cup holders...

 

Howza bout we do a HAMB Meet & Greet by Marks (general gow) car at 11:00, that is assuming he's going to be there hocking his "posters".

I figured we could meet early in case anyone was splitting to catch the Fallout in Glastonbury.

 

hey keith, are you heading down to the fallout afterwards? if so, what time? and would you mind a 55 chevy following you?? haha

 

Any bangers going...
Bill

 

There'll be bangers coming for sure...you have obviously never been to this event!

Come on over, Bill...trust me, it'll be worth your ride!

I can't wait...bundle up people

 

if you see this guy in a red roadster, well, feel free to say hello!

 

Put your arms down when get to school

 

Is anyone cruising DOWN 105 early in the morn? would love to get a group rolling early...

 

If anyone from Middleboro North or West, that doesn't cruise down RT 105 is really missing out on a drive on one of the prettiest back roads in SE Mass. It's one of my favs. I wish that was the direction I was traveling on, to the Gathering.

 

Did that 105 last year,it was a nice ride,and also long.
