NY/NJ/CT/PA anual Thanksgiving Run

[Dave Colangelo]

Its that time of the year again, the trees are almost bare, the air is brisk and every one is getting ready to put there cars away for the winter. For many of us this will be the last run of the season so lets make it a good one. We had almost 40 cars show up through out the day last year and the run to hawks nest was great. This year I am asking for some help on the route, we have a few options. We can do the bear mountain to hawks nest run again or we can plan a new route. As many of you know I am down in PA at college and cant hunt for roads on the weekend so if any one has some route suggestions please send them to me. Lets make this a great last run!

Date: November 24 2012
Start time: 8:00 AM
Start Location: Rye Beach Pharmacy (right across the street from Rye Playland), Rye NY
Route:
1. Meeting Point 1: Rye Beach Pharmacy, 8:00 A.M.

2. Leave Rye around 8:30 A.M.

3. Head over the Tappan Zee Bridge and pick up the Palisades PWKY heading north.

4. There is a small strip mall right off exit 13 on the palisades parkway. It should take us about 45 min to get there so lets say around 9:15 at (14 Thiells Mount Ivy Road Pomona, NY 10970). This will be the meeting spot for the people coming from New Jersey.

5. We will then head north to Bear Mountain state park for a drive around those great roads.

6. From the park we will pick up route 17A and head towards Port Jervis NY.

7. We will then meet at Arlene & Tom's Restaurant (265 East main Street Port Jervis NY 12771). This should be around lunch time so we will pull in for an early lunch here.

8. From there we will head down route 97, through the famous hawks nest road and continue on down 97 which is a great drive. We will continue down 97 until people need to head home.

So how is the 944 running Dave?

[Dave Colangelo]

Its running great, its been my DD since I bought it. Have had almost no issues with it. The slave cylinder went but was a quick fix. I have put almost 10K on it since last spring. The PD's are on it now for the winter with some all seasons. How is your turbo running?

Here is its with the rest of my girls,

I'm glad for that, to know that the thousands of dollars I put into that car kept another great classic on the road for someone to enjoy. I wish I had taken more pictures before I started the work on it.

Wish I could make the run with you guys, but it's a little bit of a haul and not sure whether I'll be out of town or not. The turbo has been issue free and running as strong as ever, though doesn't get driven half as much as I wish it were. Either too busy or too lazy!!!

Either way, glad things have worked out.

First off I must apologize for the delay, Sandy has had me without power and internet since last sunday. Here is the route Im planning, its similar to last year which went great. Check the OP for the route.

So there has been a slight change in plans. A fellow pelican informed me that Rye Playland has its parking lot closed off after damage from sandy. So the new meeting place will be Rye Beach Pharmacy parking lot. This is right across from the Playland parking lot entrance, there is also a gas station right there so people can fill up if need be. It should be empty at 8AM and in case anyone does not see this change of plans they will see us across the street. See you all Saturday.

I wish I could make it but I left my 944 in Maryland.

I hope you guys have a great time. I'm actually in Ct for the weekend, but I didnt drive up. Perhaps I should have... weather looks like it ought to be accommodating, and the roads seem to be salt free!
