spring run: philly guys you goin?

so i started a new thread because i didnt want to clog up the events thread with useless posts. so its like 80 miles from philly. im willing to go but id really hate to be the only evo from philly going, especially since im from mass to begin with this would be somewhere ive never even heard of. if anyone in the philly area wants to meet up and then drive to the event im down. just let me know. post here or pm me or instant message me at JJM4life.

I have already signed up I am just outside of Philly in Bucks County, so you we could meet up on the t-pike. Cloud IX already posted that he is willing to meet in KOP to lead a caravan up to the starting point.

For those of you with no track experience, I would highly recommend at least changing the brake fluid to some high temp. fluid such as ATE or Motul. Anyone that needs help bleeding the lines let me know, I run a shop out of my garage on the side and hav a power bleeder, which makes flushing the brake system and installing new fluid a snap

Brack fluid is pretty key, especially if you are going to do the run at a quick pace. Also, check all the other fluids in the engine, depending on mileage. A fresh round of tranny and diff fluid will help as well.

To register for the event go to: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=181968. Thanks to me being a pain in the *** the event has been moved to May 13th.

Ne Philly And Bucks Caravan Starting Spot!

Folks.. The very best way to get to this event from Philly area is up the Northeast Extension..

Since I live in Bucks I had posted a meeting spot in the event thread so I can lead NE Philly and Bucks or anyone else that wants to meet and caravan up from the below location.. Folks coming from the west will need to meet up and form a caravan that way..

Meet here to travel up from Philly or Bucks to the above starting point.
Red Robin - Neshaminy at 8:00AM
3605 Horizon Blvd.
Trevose, PA 19053
<This is right beside the Philly Exit on the turnpike just off of Route 1 / Roosevelt Blvd>

There is a new side entrace to the turnpike at this location too so we just hop right on at the Philly toll booth via a side road.

ALSO.. For me its about the same distance as it is for jjm4life. I know its a hike for some but nothing I will not be doing myself. Do it once and see how you feel and if it goes over well then we will do it again another time too.
