I'm down,
Name's Jacques
05 Graphite Gray Evo VIII MR

 

I'm definitely down for this!!! Although, I will have to make this a weekend trip. I'm coming from Manchester, NH and to this event it will be about an 8 hour ride for me to get there. Any hookups on hotel/lodging in nearby area?

Name is Tim

2003 Evolution VIII Apex Silver

 

Added everyone so far to the list..

Hope everyone noticed the date change to May 13th in the 1st post.

Also.. I do not mind people chatting in the thread about the run or mods before the run etc... It keeps the thread up on top in the Northeast section..

 

damn, manchester. i went to high school in New Hampton if you know where that is (like another 45 mins-1hr north of you) so now there is no way i can complain about the distance. youre looking at like 7hrs. good to see another new englander is going to be making the run

 

Tim.. Missed your distance before.. WOW the pressure is on man.. Glad you are coming. This place is ok and is right down the street from our meeting spot.
And across the street is a HUGE outdoor store called Cabellas if you are into that stuff. They have big tanks with live fish etc so its something to do in the area.

I am in Craig

 

Cool! Glad you can make it Bob..

 

I took a ride through Route 125 the other day…

…Wow.

 

I want to quote your PM to me about 125.. Let me know if thats ok. Not all of it but just the 125 part..

 

Just thought I would share a quote from roadace who went out for a visit to Route125 this week..

He mentioned that some of the roads have coal and run off on them right now because its winter but things improve in the spring plus there will be less business traffic on the weekend so we should be in good shape.. I will be doing SEVERAL runs out there to make sure we are set and will be taking notes as to sections where there are issues..

Ok here is the quote..

"I live in Philly but yesterday I took a drive through Route 125 with the Evo. Wow… this looks really challenging (almost like the Nurburgring!! ) You and some of the other guys (I’m assuming) have a lot of track time and experience with this type of driving. I’ve only Auto crossed once (in a Honda Accord) and visit Atco regularly but Route 125 is definitely for the Rally Car enthusiast. I’m a pretty competent driver so I think I’ll be able to keep up. "

 

Heh, heh.

I went back there again yesterday. I did north and south this time (both ways.) It’s definitely for the Rally car enthusiast. Going South (in my opinion) is the most fun, challenging, and holds perhaps the best views. I took my Accord this time around and Route 125 certainly separates the passenger cars from the true sports cars (in this case Rally cars.) The Accord felt like a fish out of water… the Evo is perfect for this. For those of you that have been contemplating a set of 255s, now would be a good time.

There are countless, fun twists and turns. The actual Route 125 is about 30 miles or so. Exactly 40 miles from Shamokin (start of Route 125) to I-78. But the entire Route is a lot of fun.

And if you folks are wondering how I’m able to take this much time out of my day to check out these roads, I work the midnight shift (12am to 8am)… I’ve got some time during the day.

 

OH BABY I can't wait for this

 

Put me on the list. I was waiting for the Philly Summer series Autox dates to be confirmed, but that has not happened.

There are Autox on Feb. 18th at Ripken stadium in MD, approx 1 hour from Philly. March 18th at Warminster park on an Air strip. It kicked *** last time they had it there! Here is a link again to the page with info. Hope to see you guys there before the run.
