Twelfth Annual NY/NJ/CT/MA/PA/DE/MD/VT/NH/ME/VA Thanksgiving Weekend Rallye

[Dave Colangelo]

Its that time of year once again, the leaves fall, the air gets cold, we prepare to hibernate our most prized possessions but before doing so there is one last seasonal hurrah to be had!

For many of you this has become a yearly tradition, and for others its a new event but for all its a day of P-Car fun! The gathering will be much the same this year as it has been in the past.

Date: 11/26/2022
Starting Location: Whole Foods Parking Log 575 Boston Post Rd, Port Chester, NY 10573
Route: See Map
Starting Time: 8:30 (leaving the whole foods, please arrive earlier if you intend on gassing up, chatting, grabbing some food)

Unfortunately my car is still down for the count so i would love to ride shotgun with someone leaving from the westchester area.


Ill be posting start/arrival times soon

ROUTE:Map

Initial Stop:
Arrive: Please feel free to arrive early if you want to gas up, eat, or hang out for a bit
Leave: 8:30 am

Second Stop
Location: The Park And Ride @ 1056 NY-45, Pomona, NY 10970
Arrive ~9:00am
Leave: 9:30 Am
This has been our spot to catch the group coming from west of the Hudson as well up from NJ.

Third Stop:
Shop Rite @ 10A NJ-23, Montague Township, NJ 07827
Arrive 10:45
Leave 11:30
Im going to leave some extra time here for people to re-group, and gas up if need be. There is a McDonalds and a truck stop there as well but neither have parking lots that are size-able enough for everyone so Im keeping the location as the shopping center.

Fourth Stop:
Coffee Shop/The Carriage House (for lunch if you want) @ 3358 NY-97, Barryville, NY 12719
Arrive 12:00PM
Leave 12:30
This is the coffee shop across from our usual lunch spot and those who wish to stop for food are welcome to. This is more or less officially the end of the day but groups typically go on down the rive if the wether is nice.

F.A.Q (questions I have gotten in the past and have answers to)
- This is a free event, there is no sign up, just show up
- This has always been a free event I have no intention of changing that.
- Traditionally this has been a Porsche Only Event.
- We are not responsible for what you do during the day. The law is the law, the Rally does not endorse speeding or reckless behavior, this is a fun event and there is no winner.
- All plans will be updated on this original post so please check back here for info
- You can spread the word to all Porsche owners you know including local PCA chapter, the more the merrier.
- This is not a PCA event and I would like to keep it that way, the PCA has many rules about their events, not all of which this conforms to. BUT feel free to bring your PCA buddies along and spread the word at your next meeting.
- If you are new to this event, check out the previous years to see what its all about.

ADMINS: can we make this a sticky thread until the event?

But most importantly, who's in?

Regards
Dave

I would love to do this one year. My car unfortunately (or fortunately?) will be down for a full EFI upgrade so hopefully next year, I will be in a better condition for this event in 2023.

Value of the cars too high. Don't want to drive
East cost traffic jams
Price of gas too high.
Covid on the rise
Need vaccination proof?
Car probably in the shop
People don't drive them in the winter.
Tires not the right season.
Only 15-50w oil. Need lower weight oil
Only insure for 1000k miles a year
Had to ask the wife for permission

Hey now.

Only 6 of those are true for me.

Let's give our east coast brothers a bump.

This thing is in a week right?

its still on! I have not done quite as much promotion this year as I have in the past (Ive been slammed with work and other personal obligations) but the show will go on!

If someone has a spare seat DM me, my car is still down for the count.

[gsxrken]

Looking forward to it. Looks like low 40s so my ultra-summer Conti’s shouldn’t crack
Once more unto the breach, dear friends…

[2.7RS]
