Costs - $11 in tolls from College Park, $6 in tolls back. A Cheesesteak is around $7 plus drinks. They also have other sandwiches, fries, mozzerella sticks, etc.

If you live in the PA, NJ, DE, NY etc area and don't want to join the cruise (or want to set up your own), just meet at Tony Luke's around 2:00pm.

Website: http://www.tonylukes.com. There is an outside restaurant where you order from a window, or there is a sit-down restaurant with servers. I recommend the outside restaurant. There is lots of parking next to the sit-down restaurant.


DISCLAIMERS
*Burnouts, loud music, and/or any kind of disruptive behavior in the parking lot will not be tolerated. Tony Luke's is cool with us being there but we don't want to be asked to leave. Just act civilized.*

** If you don’t have Easy Pass, catch up to the group later or just run through the toll and pay the fine (it’s like $20). We can’t wait for you on the side of the highway.**

***Please print your own directions (even if you have GPS!). We can’t, and won’t, be held responsible if you can’t keep up with the group or if you get lost.***

****Please drive responsibly. The food will be just as tasty regardless of how fast you get up there.***

[DTRMiguel]

When will you back in the area? 2 Days?

[ctrlraven]

Maybe the NE guy's would be interesed in making this run.
Just be at the address at 2pm and you're good to go.

I think CAM does the Bert's 50s Diner meet in April so this might be something to do for the NE guys who can't make the Bert's meet but want to hang out with some CAMmers.

[Joe Walsh]

That looks like FUN!

I'll mark it on the calendar and see if we are blessed with weather like you had last year.

[Bigdogjim]

WOW! One that is close to me:):):)

I'll leave my house at 10:00 and get to you by 11:00.

[Blackened300a]

Works for me. I think trekking through Staten island, to the outterbridge, then the turnpike will be the fastest route.

[Krytin]

Yep - I'll have to test out my new in-dash navigation/AVIC F700BT (once I figure out all of the touch screens!!!)

[DEFYANT]

This sounds like fun..... but how big is this place?

[SWOOSH]

Where's the poll at??

[O's Fan Rich]

I'll be in Morgantown, PA on the 11th.... otherwise I'd tag along....

[SWOOSH]

Is there enough parking for all of these groups, and cars?

[JGMobley1988]

sounds fun i might go

[Tonk]

This sounds like fun..... but how big is this place?

Do you mean in terms of capacity for cooking all this food, or in terms of seating? In terms of food, they'll be fine. They know we're coming. With seating, there is a sit-down restaurant on one side of the street and a smaller restaurant on the other side, with seating outside that can fit maybe 30 people. Last year a lot of people got their food and ate by their car. Just find an Evo or STi with a big spoiler and use that as a food tray :banana:


Is there enough parking for all of these groups, and cars?

We'll see! We have a backup plan in case we can't fit all the cars. For now, just worry about getting there ;)

[Blackened300a]

This is going to be packed!!!!!!! I hope there is enough parking for all of us. By the looks of it, I better get there earlier.

[Bigdogjim]

Sorry I am working next time:)

Enjoy:up:

:lol: Good one Chris!

[SWOOSH]

Has the meeting times changed because of the volume of cars projected and the concerns for parking availability?

[Joe Walsh]

Has the meeting times changed because of the volume of cars projected and the concerns for parking availability?

I'm wondering about the number of cars also...DTRMiguel, DOOM and I were talking about this yesterday.

If just a half dozen cars from each forum decide to go....it could be a major cluster *%ck.

[O's Fan Rich]

You'll love it Joe!!!

Door dings..... and parking lot rodeo!
But the food should be good!

[Blackened300a]

Do we have a headcount of how many of us are attending??

[Joe Walsh]

Sometimes you can have TOO much advertising.

[Krytin]

I'm out - traveling to Cincinnati, OH on bussiness the 13th. Will be there all week.
I need to be home next w/e.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm not so sure I want to go there now with that many vehicles that will show up. :confused:

[Blackened300a]

I was thinking the same thing. I'm not so sure I want to go there now with that many vehicles that will show up. :confused:

Likewise. Some morons may not care about thier cars as much as we do and just lean against it or slam open a door. Im kinda debating making a 3 hour run for this aggravation.

[ctrlraven]

I won't be able to attend, have too much on my plate right now. Whoever does go I hope you have a fun and safe time!

[DTRMiguel]

Well im going here then http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=51071 i see a few others are thinking the same :D

Hey Damien,Blackened,PRCCAR,Krytin ,Joe walsh,Swoosh,JGMobeley,Wannabe ,Freddie and dre why not come out with us?

[DOOM]

Looks like rain for the weekend. I hope it changes

[Dre]

I wish I could go I have a funeral to attend. A good friend past from cancer:(.

[ctrlraven]

Showing your respect for a friend is always more important, I believe there might be another in the works for this fall.

[SWOOSH]

DTR, who's going?

[Tonk]

From North Jersey:
Meet at the Molly Pitcher Service Plaza Mile Post 71.7 off the NJ Turnpike at 12:30pm, leaving at 1pm. The rest stop is just after Exit 8A on the Southbound side.
http://www.travelboards.com/turnpike/NJ/map.asp (http://www.travelboards.com/turnpike/NJ/map.asp)

Or another from North Jersey:
Meet at Vince Lombardi Service Plaza of 95/295 at 11:00am, leaving at 12pm. Mile Post 116 East / MP 115.5 West.
http://www.travelboards.com/turnpike/NJ/map.asp (http://www.travelboards.com/turnpike/NJ/map.asp)


From South Jersey:
Meet at the Tower Records on Rte. 38 next to Red Lobster, near Cherry Hill Mall. Time unknown, but this spot is about 30 minutes from Philly so 12:45pm or 1pm is probably a safe bet.


From Northern Virginia:
Meet at Pike 7 Plaza at 9:15am, leaving at 9:45am sharp. There is a Starbucks and a Panera Bread so you can get breakfast or coffee if you want. There are spaces in the parking lot near BB&T where there will be the most parking (the side of the parking lot closest to Pike 7).


From Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania:
Meet at Firestone Tire Parking Lot, near Lehigh Valley Mall, Whitehall, PA at 12:00pm, leave by 12:30pm.

[Tonk]

Has the meeting times changed because of the volume of cars projected and the concerns for parking availability?

The times haven't changed. We're going to do our best to control the parking and direct people to "overflow" lots as needed. If this event is too big this year, we will have to figure out a different plan for next time.

[Blackened300a]

Well its pouring here in NY. I think Im going to call it a wash and relax at home for the day.

See you guys at Carlisle!

[Tonk]

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted until now. The event was a great success, even in the rain. Next year will be bigger and better, I promise. Thanks to everyone for coming out!

I've compiled a ton of pictures into a thread on Mischief.
Warning - there are a ton of pics....it will take a while to load, even on cable modem
