Parade to Epcal 9-29-07

[Supershafts]

A parade from the county line to Epcal.....

1. Meet at the the east bound side of the lie service road from exit 48 up is where we should start lining up.. at 9am..do to the media wanting exact times we will be pulling out at 9:20am

2. The lead vehicle A dodge crew cab will have the banners with the appropriate slogans for all of us, and should be clear enough that others will want to join us in procession..

3. We will proceed at a calm 50/55 mph for all the guy's bringing there cars that have steep gears, this is not a race, we want to be seen, we want everyone to see how many of us are being ignored

4. When you get there if the line up is long go to the front and line up down 1 of the intersecting streets...or hit the REST STOP between 50 and 51..and when the truck goes by with the banners merge in...

Keep watching this post for updates as to what else is happening


I extend this invitation out to our 2 wheel handicapped brothers on Bikes..

[Tmac]

Is this gonna be on LIE,need assembly area.Maybe park and rides pick up people along the way.If we all meet at one place cops may roadblock.Maybe run lie & sunrise come together a willfloyd

[Supershafts]

I was thinking run up the service road and get all lined up and as we leave those that are down the side street at the 2 intersections prior to entering the l.i.e. jump in line..

Figure it like this start the assembly at 49...by the time we enter it'll be passed 110 at that on ramp...so we got all that service rd and those 3 intersection really and then the on ramp..

If we pull it so everyone meets at say 9, 10am perfectly figure it'll be a 10 minute leave off for the rest to get in line and then we lead off easy and 1 of us lags behind as the chaser telling the lead car take it up at 55..
The cars down the side streets like 110 all make there join to the line when the light turns red for the eastbound service rd and we will have a continued entrance to the l.i.e. ansd when the light turns green for the east bound service we have a continous flow onto the l.i.e.

then split to 2 lanes..right and center....keep it tight, then all vehicles need some type of display so people will understand what's going on...

[Suicide666]

I'm down, the louder the better right???

Absolutely

[Supershafts]

I just want to kinda ask everyone that is going to this next saturday

I plan on using my truck and having 2 huge banners with a catch phrase for the fight..

I would like to lead the parade if no one minds

so far we have...

"They commited a 'CARDINALE' Sin!"? "Tomorrow's economy SOLD OUT for todays $$$"

for 1 banner...

Any ideas let me know

[Supershafts]

lol nice one tmac

[Rapid Ray]

Can someone explain to me how being loud and obnoxious is going to get us a racetrack?

sign this petition, it's worth a shot...
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/forget-the-mountain-build-the-racetrack

[Supershafts]

I don't see where you came up with loud and obnoxious...

Getting out in the publics eye and letting thousands of others know what's going on is a good thing, also understand that we are showing we aren't taking this answer and just walking away...

Something we have never done, everytime someone say's no, everyone just walks...


Besides no matter what it's a win win for us....

1. were getting more people to see us and get involved
2. were showing the elected officials we aren't walking away anymore, and they can see how many of us there really is to worry about voting them out
3. we get to take a cruise
4. we get to take a cruise with a purpose other than just because
5. we get to meet eachother
6. we get to park at the end and have our own car show, which will attract others.
7. get more ideas from people that don't trust the internet...trust me we have quite a few people that do not post

[andy79z28]

Wish I had that link to vote yesterday....well Monday I will email it to the list I have some 3000 people hope they take the time to fill it out....

[Supershafts]

Andy can you also hit them with this link....

[Rapid Ray]

“I don't see where you came up with loud and obnoxious...”

‘Suicide666’ stated: “I'm down, the louder the better right???”

You 'Supershafts' replied: "Absolutely"

'Suicide666' then states: "Well get some crew there the earth will shatter. Hope they got those tombstones in good lol"

Now, If that’s not asking for loud and obnoxious, I don’t know what is!

An organized show of force is one thing that just might work. Us driving around revving our motors and being loud will only fortify them in their decision. We will be seen as a bunch of low-class, knuckle-dragging idiots!

Is this what we want to happen?

Everyone better be on the same page here!

It only takes one idiot to kill this for us all!

[Fordboy]

How about we all have dinner together at the Diner (Station Rd.) and talk about strategy. If we think a parade is gonna work, great. However, "the louder the better" will NOT be a good idea. Right now, sigs on a petition (RVD residents only) will carry more weight than a parade of outsiders, especially if those outsiders are loud and obnoxious. Densieski has told me REPEATEDLY that what is needed is RVD resident input, not outsiders. The reason for this is THEY VOTE, we don't. The very LIFE BLOOD of a politician are the VOTES. Without them, they wither and die.
Also, I have just gotten a huge break, I think. I made a contact directly to Levy and there is a better than 50/50 chance that I will be allowed an audience with him. Believe me, it is not easy to get an appointment to sit down and talk face to face with Levy. I am also waiting for a draft from someone that is crafting a petition. Not to mention, let's see what Jim Stark has to say this coming week at his press conference. I don't know about you guys, but I would like to have all this info before we plan our next move. Let's not react out of pure emotion and anger. Lets eat and talk first, OK?

[57tom]

It wont be loud for 57tom and I, we will be driving our PT Cruiser with our no Levy= No Dragstrip sticker on. Please tell me its not only race cars you want in this because Toms wont be ready by then!!! SORRY!!!:)

[Rapid Ray]

Fordboy, the petition is NOT for Riverhead residents only, anyone that cares to can sign. Hometowns will be noted on the final copy. Hopefully Riverhead, Calverton, Aquebogue, Jamesport and Wading River (all villages within the township of Riverhead) get a good-sized showing.

Forward this link to all in your address books.

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/forget-the-mountain-build-the-racetrack

[Tmac]

Instead of us signing petitions to give them how about we email the politicians and ask them if their for us and will help our cause not just Riverhead but all L.I. as this is an island wide delemia.The email should state real action not talk and no response wil be considered a vote against.Provide them a place to weigh in and count.At the end of parade read off the names as to their choice.Bring bullhorn and voter registeration cards to hand out.In local elections a couple hundred votes can swing outcome.If votes count this my friends wil bring attention especially if the media is there.We should let oppenents respond also.Election day is around the corner.They should come to us.Address the letter to public servant form letter with same heading.Shafts I did write such aletter a while back and left you a copy with that other stuff if you still have it,if not post and I'll email Mike so he can post it here.

[Supershafts]

No no... if we do not start showing the numbers of people for all to see we will lose any fear we have with them right now..

Stark will have his press conference which quite a few of us will attend and then while it is still hot we have the parade the very next day to epcal and set up protest there...unless someone comes and asks for drivers licenses from each and every one of us they don't know where we are from, and i am calling senators and every single news outlet on the island we need to be a huge overwhelming amount of people...

I don't know why anyone would think a showing of cars and bikes cruising to a destination will be able to do anything other then follow.

Not to mention the people that will see it and become interested to know what's going on...


Now there is also the door to door idea in riverhead and getting people to sign a form stating there want that would be good...

But right now we need to be upset and let them see how many truly are, and let them know it stems from one end of suffolk to the other, let the other legs understand there all under the gun

[Supershafts]

I need to get 2 4 and 7 im beginning to think not many watch news 12, and i admit it is painful to sit thru not changing weather conditions every damn 3 minutes and the damn traffic and they have a damned channel just for traffic and weather...

[cowbay]

I have to say I did not watch news 12 myself every day, even with the excitment of having a weather and traffic update every three minutes. If you could get a major a channel that would be great, but it is amazong though that this will be the largest private development project in Long Island history and for the most part it is unseen in the news. Worse yet most people have no clue about this project either.

[Supershafts]

Yeah it is amazing how it isn't anywhere else, and how little know about it....

But hopefully this saturday thousands will see the movement

Let's not react out of pure emotion and anger. Lets eat and talk first, OK?While I'm for the parade Fordboy does make a good point as to a strategy.A focal point at the end of the run and order and professionalism during the run are very important,we don't want to come off as a bunch of out of control punks.This will only give fuel for the fire for those that oppose the idea of a motorsports park.For those attending keep this in mind,there's a time and a place for everything lets concerntrate on the place.Imagine if someone was to get hurt or kill on the run,well that will get the medias attention and effectively seal the fate of our cause.I think a chain of command is in order to lead the rally and do the speaking at Calverton so we come off as organized and united,not just a bunch of people standing around looking at cars.Like the way Al Sharpton does.You may not like him but he knows how to get attention

[Fordboy]

I'm all for rallys as you all know, but, at this point, how can we be gauranteed the type of turnout that we NEED? This rally stuff is a double edged sword. I thought the Yaphank rally was going to be BIG but it fizzled like a wet firecracker. There were only at most 250 people there. Thats why I want everyone to calm down and lets see the outcome of upcoming events. (Jim Stark press conference, etc.) A ski jump will NOT be allowed to fly. RVD jsut sealed the fate of Calverton for the next 2-3 years. Nothing will happen there. It will be left as is. The zoning board will not allow a 350 ft. high structure there because it will open the door for MORE high structures. This WILL NOT HAPPEN. When you get stung like we just were, it's natural to want to strike back, BUT this needs PLANNING. The Yaphank rally was opposite car shows, flea markets etc and alot of folks went to the car show instead. Those crappy CIVIC organizations with their low membership meet, talk, plan, stategize, etc and THEN act. I say we get together after the weeks events unfold and have a meeting.

I agree. As pissed off about this as I am( as i'm sure we all are) I still feel we need to have a strategy.Let's try to get some political big wigs, celebrtities,local merchants and people of influence who would enjoy and benefit from a first class motorsports park.
I was just up at english town for the trucking nationals and really absorbed the whole concept of N.J. area around track ( million dollar homes) no traffic ,yet similar road's to L.I.. police directing traffic ( we took up two lanes out of park) No problem.
Has anybody seen all the empty stores and delapitated building's ( as well as illegals) in downtown riverhead? I was riding my bike through there to westhampton and was laughing thinking what a bunch of morons that the town board doesn't see or don't want to see what a first class entertainment and motorsports park would do for riverhead, hell, long island for that matter it. boggles the mind.

[Supershafts]

IF the pressure stops so will this.....

Sharpton never held a rally and did it organized and orderly, yelling and saying all kinds of bs...please i am from HB i was there with his BS and his BS got attention....way more attention then we have, and it got more fire going, there parade thru the streets got attention....we don't have that much attention, and we don't have enough coverage...

You know why....they think we aren't that many...so if we do not get out there in the PEOPLES eye not hidden in some damn parking lot no one will take us seriously...

We have thousands of letters in RHT and they still said fuck them we'll vote the way we were told...

Holy shit guy's that tells you they do not fucking care or worry about us....THEY WEREN'T PHASED there not SEEING IT.....THEY NEEED to SEE IT

Do not start this indecisive shit like last time a damned week before, we should have been at the god damn county building like i wanted not the damned parking lot in fucking captree...where it was illegal to raise a voice of concern on a matter

al would have marched right to the county building....al... the idiot he is gets his way...wtf i am not doing anything but in your face, i listened to you guy's last time and i called off the county building deal....big mistake...not again.

Sorry guy's i have already reached out to people all over NY, i am not doing it again at this last minute..

Sorry

I say we get together after the weeks events unfold and have a meeting.I get your point Fordboy,fools rush in,with no plan it could be disastrous.The first rally I went to was at Captree,the one with the guy from Newsday,other than a small crowd around the newsday guy it seemed to have more of a reunion or car show feel not a demonstration,no focal point,no sense of unity among the different types of motorsports(everyone for themselves)that's why I brought up the SMART idea.It's even been said here that the no dragstrip/no Levy sticker pissed off others(thats why I put that one on my wifes car,and the motorsports one on mine true love reigns supreme)those flyers I did say ALL FORMS OF MOTORSPORTS ARE WELCOMED at the bottom .I don't no how many got out there but I distributed thousands at Bald Hill and a couple hundred at Oakdale the one time I was there.I think the results were pretty good I think one or two came onboard.What do all think about petitioning all politicians for their support done in a form letter type with an organiztion heading?

[Supershafts]

Aside for everyone i called i had asked RR to make announcments...which they did..

[thenative1]

We need a BIG turnout this time. We need to organize some high up politicians, local buisness( wineries) ,celebrities (hampton celebs into racing) news media, general populace (who don't want a giant snow cone).We need to get organized, promote, and then have a huge ass rally/ carshow/barn burning lol. Last gathering was pathetic, a lot of people are lazy. That's why we need all walks of life involved and higher up's that can mobilize large numbers and bring some light to just how serious this issue is. :eek:

[andy79z28]

I cant believe how my people I gave out a little flyer to in RH. I was just on the petition site...not one of them logged on and signed it. People are so lazy I cant believe them!!!!

Based on the above we are done unless we can get some real press to uncover the tainted vote.

I feel the hole thing is a stall tactic....do you really think they are going to let them build a 35 story building? I think not. I think they did this to stall and get Rexcorp out of the picture...for something else to be built.

[thenative1]

I agree. They will put something the N.I.M.B.Y'S want....maybe the world's largest ball of yarn, a crocheting headquarters building and some fuking rocking chair's.:eek:

[Supershafts]

When bob made the announcement at RR track for the rally and what was going on and gave this site out...the people were bitching about the idiots at the town, so they heard it and they were displeased, but are they following thru with what needs to be the next step...and signing up here or atleast watching the info here...

[Supershafts]

I have contacted so many people i can't even remember all of them, several papers, other then suffolk life is the only one i haven't contacted, i called senators left messages, people all over, i have friends spreading the word...

[Chevychick]

The problem like andy said is people are lazy! How can we guarantee that people will show up for this cruise? We can have a couple thousand people say they are coming and then 100 show up.
It needs to be planned out as meticulously as possible. We cant afford to look like fools this time.

[cowbay]

What is the proposed plan for the parade/protest. I am in total agreement that this can not go off half cocked. I think the suggestion of having a meeting to develop a plan is the best move yet. What ever it is just count me in.

[Supershafts]

We have this parade going down saturday, and then next sunday another group is doing another from epcal to cardinales..

I can not call everyone back i called already...

If they do not show up there only hurting themselves and hurting everyones chances..


We can not settle down and then start up, it must remain full pressure, full steam ahead...we can't be taking time off, give it a few weeks let everyone calm down and relax...then the steam is gone...............poooof........

[andy79z28]

Well I sent out 3283 emails for the petition site this morning.... not counting the 1000 I gave out Saturday. At the moment we have 500 people who signed the petition. See what I mean about lazy.... Lets go to 7-11 and pick up all the day laborers bet they would sign if they had a computer....lol

I am about ready to give up, and settle for my 8-10 times a year in NJ. This is my last attempt....

[Chevychick]

Please post up EXACTLY what is supposed to occur for this parade. Everybody needs to know exactly where they are meeting up, what time and where to. This way we can hit the boards with a very itemized post which the moderators can then make a sticky and hopefully begin a running list per board so we know who is attending.

[Suicide666]

Lets get this figured out quick, I'm not wasting my time if its done half assed.
I took the pipes off the chevy, and will have a bike. sounds perfect for the event.
I thing we need to use a slede hammer to get out point across to those morons.

[Supershafts]

Everything for the rally is on the very 1st post

[Supershafts]

If you are thinking of coming and might be afraid because you may break down...i can get you a tow or my truck can pull atleast 5 cars if need be....no excuses....c'mon on out...

[Rapid Ray]

Quick! Go look in the mirror! Now STFU!!

[cowbay]

People I really do not hear that they had problems with there car did not have the right shine or the stars were not aligned properly. :mad:Find a ride borrow a ride even if it's a Yugo:eek: Numbers this weekend are going to be critical. I have a business that I own and I am making arrangements to be there myself. If it is at all humanly possible try to be there. As the old saying goes "united we stand, divided we fall":rolleyes:

[Tmac]

people that know of shows & cruises should go and spread the word.I'll hit Oakdale with flyers thursday

[betcha618]

I'll be there.

[Supershafts]

Thank you..

[betcha618]

No need for thanks, my wife and I do these things for the common good of all racers because there are some ppl that can't get out when we have these events. So whenever we can we do.

[betcha618]

Just out of curiosity. what are we planniung for when we get out there??? Is the press going to be there? are we hanging out after we get there?? whats the plan.??

[Supershafts]

That's why we have the 9:20 leave time the press wanted an exact time so they could get us in route and some wanted to just wait at the property for us to arrive.

newsday,riverhead review, riverhead news, ind, news12, hopefully suffolk life, i contacted others but the only definates are the 1st 5..
I have got no response at all from 2,4,5,7, and 55..and 2 shame on you..

[betcha618]

cool. Was just curious. Thanks for the info. we should have our own press conference, Not just the news reporting what they want. I don't know if you or any one planned to speak or not.

[dynodon113]

Shafts Don't Forget The Media Needs To Be Reminded The Night Before And The Morning Of. That Is The Problem We Had Before . They Had No Idea What I Was Talking About. By The Time They Showed Up It Was To Late.

[Supershafts]

Yeah i have been hitting them with e-mails...

Don't come open headers we do not need any police problems....

[thenative1]

Guy's n gals.Since we no longer have a motorsports park to enjoy our hobbies, I was thinking. Until the motorsports park does or doesn't happen, we will all have some more free time on our hands.... to enjoy are new hobby. I'm talking about racing....political racing.
Let em know (all opposed to motorsports) that this is now everyone's new hobby, and we won't stop until we get back a place to enjoy our old hobby.
Imagine for a momment, if they took ALL the GOLF COURSES away? All the cranky ass, N.I.M.B.Y.,YUPPIE GOLFERS would have to go to N.J. to swing a club.Or better yet had to play INDOOR MINITURE GOLF... at GOLF MOUNTAIN.
The politicians would NEVER hear the end of it.The CRANKY ASS,N.I.M.B.Y.,YUPPIES WOULD BITCH TILL EVERYONE IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT'S EARS BLED ...and their HEADS EXPLODED.Why I ask should we be any different?
They would love to stamp out motorsports all together and see us all vanish along with it. And that will probably happen for me, my 5yrs plan or hopefully less and i'm off sandtrap island.But while I am still here, I'm taking as many of the political N.I.M.B.Y.'S to task as I can .I pose the question to all motorsports fans and participants, Are we going to just roll over and quit? :mad:

[92Sleeper]

sorry guys and girls i will not be there as much as i want to be. I will be in washington D.C taking my fire dept. physical. I will be waiting to here about it though.....

[thenative1]

Good Luck. My Friend And Also My Neighbor Is F.d. In N.y.c. Great Job. If You Can, Tell Some People That You Know About Rally.:) Police And Firefighters Love Motorsports.

[92Sleeper]

Thank you, and i will

[Tmac]

Shafts it might be a good idea to set your truck up as a focal point and have everyone congregate there when we get to Calverton.People bring banners for your type of racing and shops and vendors bring your lettered co.trucks,then they'll know we ain't just paint.

[Supershafts]

The truck will be leading with 3 boards with some slogans and info, 2 are 5' x 8' and 1 is 5' x 55"

[spikeybabe22]

Hey guys! I am Betcha618's wife. I will def. be there on Saturday with my maxima.

[dynodon113]

It Might Make A Very Clear Point To The Politions If Everybody Went To The Post Office And Got Voter Reg. Cards. And Handed Them Out At The Rally And Make It Known To The Media That This Is The Only Way They Will Listen To The People They Represent. (do What The People Want Not What You Feel Like)

No Dragstrip= No Levy

[cowbay]

If you coming out to this wasn't exciting enough what the shaft will have on is banners is got to bring the crowd. :D Do you need another truck for any other signage?

[Suicide666]

Sorry I dont own a truck

[mikelbeck]

I got an e-mail from somebody who was concerned about this...

She said "My father died 9/29/06 and he was president of his motorcycle club (vietnam vet riders). This saturday his group as planned a memorial run for him. We are leaving my house at 10:00 going to calveton national cemetary, which is on the same road as epcal. I wanted to know if the road was going to be completely blocked with all the cars, and if we would be able to get thru all the cars. This day is extremely important to me and I want to go off with out a snag. Any details that you can provide would be greatly appreciated."

I told her to post on here to get info about this, to see time, how many cars, etc. But I haven't seen her post.

So... Supershafts, can you speak to this?

[custchopa]

someone had made a point about possibly getting the word out to celebs?? isnt jay leno a bigtime car buff?...........just a thought

[betcha618]

yea but hes out of CA no?

If anyone knows how to get in touch with a celeb it would be Castro from Unique Motorsports. why doesn't someone go to his shop and ask him to come down??

[Supershafts]

I got an e-mail from somebody who was concerned about this...

She said "My father died 9/29/06 and he was president of his motorcycle club (vietnam vet riders). This saturday his group as planned a memorial run for him. We are leaving my house at 10:00 going to calveton national cemetary, which is on the same road as epcal. I wanted to know if the road was going to be completely blocked with all the cars, and if we would be able to get thru all the cars. This day is extremely important to me and I want to go off with out a snag. Any details that you can provide would be greatly appreciated."

So... Supershafts, can you speak to this?

I don't know where there house is thought that there leaving from at 10am

At 10 am i expect we would already be at Epcal...from the F-14 back...

IN order for us to have any effect on them we would need 15,000 or better...im not that convinced that many are coming to this...not that i do not want it...

The truck is gonna stop at the F-14 everyone else would park along the east side and west side of 25 i see no problem for them coming thru...there is lots of room there...after the media thing which won't be long i want to take a atleast half of everyone with me to parade at another location not far from there so they can read the message we have clearly and not wait for the news...

Ask her to call me at the shop 631-286-2299 i'll talk with her and make sure there isn't a problem

[betcha618]

well where we are meeting (in red) is over a mile from the main cemetary entrance in yellow. so every one should be fine:

[Supershafts]

Yeah i mean unless we are more then 15k cars i do not believe we would be anywhere near them...and at that we aren't going to be in the street and certainly not blocking the CNC... have her call me i don't know which direction there coming from either...so it may not be any issue at all if they come from the east on 25

[Supershafts]

Just to be clear i would love to have 30,000 cars...i would even cry tears of joy if we had 100,000 cars...on camera.. I just know some people are gonne be like but there's a parked car show today and some other bs not to make it

[racingtom]

Can we tow our race car's on sat??

[Supershafts]

Yes, show the cars off.. Enclosed trailers put on some logos on the sides and back

[Tmac]

Lite turnout due to weather I guess,gave out as many flyers as people there.Most were into it.Still have a few hundred flyers left any ideas?

[Supershafts]

[andy79z28]

I will be there between 9 and 9:30. I did not have a ride my everyday car in shop but found a friend with a 69 GTO and got him to go so 2 bodies one car will wear picture of race car around neck....lol

[Tmac]

talk about opposite ends.Shafts can't make Bellmore but if your going and have aplace at your shop I could leave flyers(leave for work3:30am) I could leave them there in yellow envelope,your shop is 5 minutes from me.I could print up more and go to RR if thats Pm Andyif not is that port Jeff show still on Friday.I'll check comp. before I go to work.

[betcha618]

Went last time around, they seemed interested but.. a no show at rally.Try again maybe second time the charm.:rolleyes:

[mikelbeck]

So.... what time and place is everybody meeting, what's the route to be taken, and what's gonna happen afterwards? Post a summary of the whole plan in this thread, then I'll send out a notification to all the members of the site.

I just figured an auto attraction of any kind would up his business so he might be behind it.

[Supershafts]

Mike it's on the 1st post..

[thenative1]

I just figured an auto attraction of any kind would up his business so he might be behind it.

That's what i originally thought. I have also emailed every motorsports type buisness, magazine,speedvision tv, websites etc.etc.Not one response back from any of them. Guess not enough people contacted them or they don't want our buisness.
:confused:

[betcha618]

call John Force. he can't race right now anyway. lol.

[Supershafts]

Yeah i agree with Native...i have banged my head for a long time on this with things you would EXPECT to have open arms for you.... and bang there just not really interested

[Supershafts]

I never called John Force but i bet he would like it...i'll try it

[thenative1]

Tell His Hot Looking Daughter's I'm Available,lol.

[92Sleeper]

:cool:lmao im with him

[NYMontess]

Marty. we did send him an e-mail a few yrs. back, from my shop & never heard anything.
I also think someone tried to call his Co. with no return calls, just cant remember who it was, it could have been Bruce.

[82GT]

After the Gary debacle, I'm sure he wants nothing to do with Long Island....

[pcking]

Just wanted to let you know that the SCCA guys from the NY area are very supportive of our efforts, but cannot attend since they are running an AutoX at Riverhead on Saturday starting @ 8 AM.

I was working on the wife to let me attend and hammer on the Mustang a little, but I think I might hang out with you guys instead. Approval is still pending :D

So do I drive the '06 Charger or trailer one of the race cars?

-Phil

[Supershafts]

Trailer the car and hit RR late....

I didn't know RR was doing the SCCA AutoX there again...

I would have done that last time...

[FReaK]

Good Luck Guys/Girls

[pcking]

Yeah, one of the SCCA guys got ahold of the Crommerty's and they agreed to let us try it once. It was a great success so they gave them 3 more dates. I think they are still planning to have one in October and maybe even one more in Nov if the weather holds.

I think they close tech around 9 AM, so I think it is one or the other.

There will be other AutoX events right... :D

Oh im not dropping a damn thing kid....

Nothing against RR but i want to wind out at a long front or backstretch at 150 or better depending on length one day again...

I like the little tight tech stuff that SCCA does also in lots and what they do at RR also...i just wonder how legal the Jeep would be for that...

[Supershafts]

Wait till you guy's see the signs and stickers all over tomorrow...


Also i need to thank Brian from Racing Creations Brian is the best at what he does...

If you ever need anything and i mean anything done...he will set it up and you will think the man crawled out of your head with your idea and made it better...

[custchopa]

good luck to all tomorrow!!! Nice to see how RACING is uniting most all of long island....they cant ignore us for much longer!!! Thanks to all those organizing the group!

[spikeybabe22]

What time u plan on getting to Epcal?


They are meeting up at 9am at exit 48. Then cruising out east.. prolly 10-1030 if were doing 50/55 it will take a lil longer. Betcha and I are getting on at exit 62 (to take pics)instead of going all the way out west when we live off exit 63.

Yeah, I live at exit 69 which is the exit for Epcal, I'm not about to drive to Farmingdale just to drive back home, LOL

But I'll try and come up in the Mustang, take some pics and support it, I guess it won't hurt.

yea were not going all the way out there either.. def. come! the more support the better!

[Supershafts]

C'mon guy's i live further then all of you...we have to be big from the get go so everyone sees us and wants to know wth is going on....no one is going to take that much notice at 50 cars going by.....we'll just look like a few cars going by

[Supershafts]

oh yeah tomorrow is going to be HUGE! ! ! ! just wait and see

[NYMontess]

Sorry Marty, its going to be 1 less car, i have to work, couldnt get the time off, and i need the $'s.

I'll call you in the afternoon.

[mikelbeck]

I'll be there... but without my car. It's in the driveway, I can't get it up on the trailer and hooked up in time. So I'll be there with my truck.

Look for me, it's a white Ram, says "Burwood Boys Racing" on the back. I'll be wearing my bright red "HEMI POWERED" shirt. I should be easy to spot. ;-)

[Supershafts]

I'll look for you kid....no offense but i hope you aren't that easy to spot..

Truck is fine, remember 4x guys are a part of us...hey even i off-road, and there should be some sweet trucks on the parade also


Tomorrow is gonna be unbelievable

[Lauski]

Please guys I live in Riverhead.I'm 100% behind you but do not get nasty.All I've been hearing is that racers fight ,drink beer and cause trouble.I know this is a hot topic but getting crazy will not help things.
Supershafts knows me I'm Laurie Downs on the east end Blog...
Good luck Drive safe and see ya tomorrow. Laurie

[SSSSMonte]

See you all tomarrow!

[Supershafts]

Laurie no one is going to get nasty..if they get nasty there going against US and Me and i will take it personally...

I am confrontational but im not going to look to hit anyone or kill them...(the thought though)

All we have ever done was come with facts and proof and show people what is what, how it works how the fairy tale problems they hear are silly and back it up with proof...

They do not listen and continue with these insane movie fantasies of what the motorsports community is...

On the other hand i was brought up from a family that taught me right from wrong, and to have respect for people and to do what is right... and to keep my reputation and nose clean.. Something other people are going to only wish they did
For that i have to thank My Father and both my Grandfathers who are no longer with me... My closet is clean and you'll find wonderful things, other peoples closets aren't anything like mine and im going to air them out...i've been in a few already...but that's next week....i can't wait for tomorrow and now im wishing my life away for next week to be here sooner..

Then we'll let the people decide who do you want to stand behind....

Me > empty clean closet, perfect reputation only helping people....and a Motorsports person...

OR

Them > horrible things, and not nice people and only for themselves (watch everything about the people they stand behind come out next week)


You decide who you want to stand behind...

your civic leaders that are so filthy it'll make you sick

OR

The guy that likes Cars and participates in all forms of racing....

The worst thing you'll find on me is a few seat belt tickets, a few failure to signal lane change tickets.... BUT not 1 felony, or misdemeanor.

Motorsports = good helping people, help eachother and help you

Others = some interesting reading of felonies and all kinds of illegal activities

[mikelbeck]

I'll look for you kid....no offense but i hope you aren't that easy to spot..

Why's that?

This can't be stressed enough.They will be looking to focus on the one idiot that does the stupid sht that will make news while all the good efforts of the many will be ignored.Go out tonight and get stupid out of your system if you have too.:eek:Be riding my old shovelhead with the tranny seal leak.Hope I don't go dry.Are bikes gonna stage in one area?

[mikelbeck]

Right. Everybody should stay relatively relaxed... no racing, no burnouts, no revving. Just get out there, have a good time and make a good showing. Let's show Long Island what the motorsports community is really like.

[Lauski]

Please guys don't get me wrong.I'm on your side .My brother races and my Cousin races.My uncle use to race ,Islip,Nation speedway West hampton..I know how the passion that goes into racing.
Tmac is right all we need is one crazy person.They will be waiting for something to happen.Stand proud and strong and let them see how awsome this sport is.

tmac try putting some lucas eng. treatment in your trans. . i use it in mt flathead 80 it does noy run out that fast . and the old tranny sounds alot better

Arnie... "econobug" C-Ya

[thenative1]

Will there be local law enforcement present.Also any police officers or fire dept involvment on or off duty.A nassau police officer came to our last rally he seemed pretty cool.When I was selling harley's we got a ton of fire dept and police officers as customer's.Any of their local clubs attending.?:confused:

[Supershafts]

Why's that?


Hoping for thousands and thousands

[cowbay]

Well heres to hoping that today is big. I am going to set my crews up and I will be there. Let's remember everybody is to behave and not do anything stupid that can bring bad press. There is a stereotype out there that racers are knuckle dragers. :mad: Let's prove the wrong.:D

[Tmac]

For those that have never done a parade type rally,remember it's a chain and a stunt at point A can have serious consequences at point B,C,D.Keep even spacing for reaction time.Give the bikers(like me)a little distance so you don't run us over.Good clean fun.To the victors go the spoils,hope you're all feel the need to be spoiled!:D

WALLY PARKS PASSES | Print | E-mail
Written by CompetitionPlus
Saturday, 29 September 2007

Wally Parks, the driving force behind the formation of NHRA, has died at the age of 94. It was Parks’ vision, goals and unconditional commitment to the need for speed and side-by-side racing in a safer, more controlled environment that created what is today the world's largest motorsports governing body.

"Today is a sad day in the world of NHRA and the sport of drag racing," said Tom Compton, president of NHRA. "Words simply can't describe the immeasurable impact Wally has had on the sport he created and the millions of people's lives he touched along the way. The name Wally Parks is synonymous with drag racing, and his vision and direction will guide NHRA for years to come. Everyone in drag racing, and the industries formed to service the sport, will forever be indebted to Wally, his vision, his focus and his desire to create, build and grow NHRA."

“Wally spent his lifetime doing what he loved,” said Dallas Gardner, chairman of the NHRA board of directors. “He marked the path and led the way for this incredible industry and the sport of drag racing. Wally was NHRA, and through his dream came a path to follow with lofty goals and ambition. He put the people in place and trusted in them. He has not abandoned us. He has left us with a road map that he knows will be followed.”

Parks, who founded NHRA in 1951, received countless awards in the motorsports world and played a pivotal role in the establishment of an entire industry devoted to speed and automotive aftermarket parts and accessories that today is a multibillion-dollar business. Yet Parks never implied that he did it all himself. His pride and joy, and where he spent most of his time in recent years while still serving on NHRA's board of directors, was The Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum presented by Automobile Club of Southern California at Fairplex in Pomona, Calif.
