A good place to meet is on the wide street just before the entrance of the Holland Tunnel on the NY side. 7:00 am is the time that I will be there with others. At that time of morning the traffic is still low and we shouldn't have any problems standing there.

 

Perfect, + is sunday there will be no traffic at all...

 

So what street is this Varick? or one of those cobble stone roads? Im down to be there early. Ima bring my video camera and my digi.

i can wait up by canal st, but i really think it would be better on the jersey side. since parking would be better. but ****, it is a sunday, so **** lower east side jajajaja

 

steve kahn will be in attendance

the recommended inn closest to the track is the panther valley inn (do a serach)

i think there is more to post i am forgetting

 

Spring street is the closest to H. tunnel so we can meet up by W.Side HWY & Spring St.




---------------------
Steve Kahn is going to attend rotorfest, that's cool.

 

Ill be ther man.

Hey what about food. should we bring food, or will there be a food venue at rotorfest.?

 

the track has concession stands!

 

yo nil. i think we are going to be in a lil situation man, i have to work the night before. so that means that i get out at 7:00am on the dot. so i dont mind leaving after that, the problem i see is that my *** will be burned the hell out by mid day. i will be off that night, pero we'll see. i just might have to use 1 of the rooms to get a nap or you need to drive back.

so the fellas that will meet on varick at 7 am. please wait for me. i will be there. i work downtown manhattan. so i will take my car to work and head out after i get changed. i say. since my job is located on the west side hwy, i can be there at 7.15 all willing.

 

Hey the guys that are meeting on the other side of the Holland on the NJ side. What time will u guys be leaving there. We should coordinate so we can all leave together. Okay

Ill be on the NY side.....around 7-730am

Lets work somthing out and some times out

 

Dwayne -- Just got the car back last weekend... now to put enough miles to break in the motor and get it tuned before Rotorfest! (right now Sammy dialed down the boost to 6psi max... in my driving, I have yet to even see 1psi of boost!)

On a final note, I want to keep Rotorfest the way it was in the beginning, die hard rotary people getting together to have a good time. With that being said, I have decided on not having sponsors/vendors this year. I truly appreciate the support in the past, but I see Rotorfest turning into more of a "commercial" event, than what it was intended to be.

 

yeah lets keep it simple and sweet. We appreciate all the hardwork your doing, i know its not easy man, but thanks to you we can appreciate it and the love for the rotary community

 

i really like what ya doing.. i was kinda looking forward to the sponsor thing.. :-D but oh well.. i'll still be there.. :-P

 

Looks like ill be trailer-ing the beast up, it will be good to see everyone again, hopefully ill actually be able to drive it around, providing Steve gets me set up ;-)

 

this will be tough... I'll want to go to hit the drag strip, but will want to look at the cars, too... Hmm.. maybe a crap load of runs before it gets really busy, then look at cars...

 

Aaron:
Haha.... Good Idea... So did you get the FD tuned?

 

Now I know this is a rotary event but since I’m not tuned I’m not going to be running my FD, but could I bring my Gixxer 750 and make some runs? I’m sure no one would mind a street bike making some runs. If that’s cool with the host’s what regulations do I have to pass? Just helmet and jacket? Or full leathers?

 

Damn.... seeing the threads about caravans from Pa, Md, Va, etc... to Rotorfest... how many people are expected to show??!?

 

Lots!.... Take a look at last years.... My car front and center, www.rotorfest.com and this is just a picture of the FDs. Imagine all the FCs, FBs and other Rotaries not in the picture that were there.....

Aaron, Why don't you carravan with us its going to be one of the high lights of rotorfest. To drive with all those rotaries going 100mph+! Don't miss it....

Dwayne

 

bacon i can get your FD tuned whenever you want let me know!!!

 

Vosko, It will be @ rotor fest, but Im suposto have Steve Kan tuning it that day. But now i hear Dee will be coming up next weekend also.
