Well I went to the 'Rock N Rods' event at Yonkers Raceway last night.
This event is held EVERY Wednesday evening from 6pm - 9 pm and it has a rain date of Thursday evenings.
The boy Scouts held a 50/50 raffle and there were lots of door prizes.
They gave away Car Cleaning things...

Lots of CARS, CARS, and CARS !!
There were 2 PRO STREET Firebirds, a couple of really old Fords, lots of Stands, GTOs, Camaros, and a 56 Crown Vic !!!
There was also a very nice display of some Harleys.

My Marauder got a LOT of attention.
Everyone was asking $$$, How does it ride?, How is the pickup?, and the most asked question of the night......

"Is that a HEMI under the hood ??? It looks big enough to be one !!"

It was a lot of fun.
There was a Hershey Ice Cream truck there for snacks, and a big open barbeque for Hot Dogs, Hamburgers and Grill Chicken sandwiches.

Admission is FREE !!! and the raffle donations are optional.

Maybe we can get a few of the local Marauders to show up ??
Several people were asking if there are any BLOWN Marauders in the neighborhood...


Oh, and Elsalsero, your BeadX works FANTASTIC !!!

Hey,

Let me know, lately I'm across the street on Wednesday nights at about 7:45 for PT, so if I can make the left, I'm there.

It won't be much of a ride but the CD player can get up to speed.

Hey Russ !!

I was wondering when you would chime in...
You might remember me from the Contour.org group as 'Roadrunner'...

Yonkers Raceway is for trotters today, they are trying to bring in other racers that are more popular, by installing Video Poker slots to fatten up the purse for the races.

But on the flip side, we all get to park our rides right next to the racetrack and hang out for a few hours !
Even the Police come out and hang out with us !
It is mostly an older crowd of people and not very many kids.
This makes for a civilized evening.

The kids and their ricer mobiles hang out at Nathan's on Thursday nights. The "events" start much later and the police are much less friendly. Beware. Even your window tint is subject to review....

The Raceway will soon have "slots" (my guys are doing some of the work there) gambling is pretty popular so they might not have much room for a car show much longer, lol.

Might make Yonkers one night if we do a concerted thing, count me in.....

I'll be checking out the Raceway when the weather is good and my schedule permits. Would be good if those who are interested in attending on any given Wednesday would post on this thread by that Wednesday afternoon. I'll bet we can have some real mini-meets with a half dozen Marauders or more.

And, as I mentioned on another thread, when the breeze is blowing just right, you'll know exactly where the horse barn is!

The construction for the Video Slots and Remodeling has already started.
It will be going full swing by July.
By then, they will probably move our location from Yonkers Raceway trackside, to across from the Yonkers Avenue Post Office.
