Marauderville in NY?

[Blackened300a]

Just wondering how many of my fellow North East Marauders would be interested in putting forth some time and effort into making MV-8 in NY?

Im thinking E-town track rental day, guided bus tours of NYC, Museum of natrual history, Coney Island, NY Aquarium, Times square, Eisenhower park car show, Intrepid air space museum tour, Ice skating in Rockafeller plaza (depending on time of year) Empire state building tour, Circle line boat tour, etc.... The only hard part of the planning would be a safe and closeby hotel that can support our group and is still close to all the events we have planned. If there is interest, Ill start putting it together and have a detailed proposal signed sealed and delivered by the due date.

Maybe the NE Marauders can finally come together on this one?

+1 on New York. A cruise from west to east would be cool, the city to greenport or montauk.

My wife has always wanted to go to NY this would give me a good excuse for her to come along. I kinda like this idea and I can visit all my friends in Springfield Mass to. I like!!!!!

Ny sounds cool.......... I could see me going

I'm in Paul!
There are a lot of cultural events in NYC that Mary is very in tune with. We will be happy to assist you in any way.
I wish we had a nice speedway to take laps on.....

It's about 12 hours from Greenville to NYC, so the drive wouldn't be too bad over two days. ( = 6 hours behind the wheel, max).

Not so sure about NYC traffic, but other than that, I'd be interested.

I would go. Mix in the MM event with a visit with family.

It's worth consideration and if Paul says he can pull a good proposal together then I'm sure he will. I agree that the tough part is the hotel/parking. If NYC is chosen as the venue, I will assist in any way needed to pull it off.

I'd probably show, even though I don't own a MM.

are we talking NYC specifically? I've been to long island a couple times, some beach on a crazy long straightaway....it was a nice drive. only traffic was on the bridge onto the island.

Crazy long straightaway! Could you mean the infamous ocean parkway? There are still pieces of my tailshaft housing on that road
But to get back on topic, mabe a hotel on the island would be better then the city. Theres alot to do and see in NYC but the driving maybe a pain. Working a trip to englishtown or even attco in would be cool. Also trying to hit the major cruise nights on the island, baldhill, bellmore etc. Also could cruise out to the vinyeards. Could also go to riverhead raceway and catch a demolition derby.

Having visited NYC a handful of times,

NYC traffic

...really comes to mind!
(Same could be said for Chicago, which was also proposed in a separate section of mercurymarauder.net)



Good luck at any rate.

Count me in.
Grew up on LI, now live in NJ (about 15 mins from Englishtown). A Long Island thing would be good if you wanted to do a cruise. If you wanted to do something more stationary or to do some racing, I'd vote to stick with Englishtown. That weekend traffic in or out of NYC/SI can be rough, especially between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Maybe you could plan something around the Ford weekend at Englishtown. They had it early this year, not like Nov of 2008. That was cold!
