How on earth did you manage to get that done?? Apparently somehow the word must have gotten through and they liked it enough to go take a peek
Please take lots of pics guys, I can only live through it by internet.

We've done northern rides (from NYC) on both the Taconic and the Thruway. Very different rides. Last year we took the thruway which is geat when it's a large group (say more than 10-15). When we had 60+ Vipers cruising up the thruway some time ago, it was truly AMAZING!

I'll see if we can organize another huge group this year.


Plum's probably right about my ride.

Since their will be some power hitters there like Mr.Shelby the Local news stations would love to come see. there is a chance Mr.Shelby will speak up against Tators problem and help get DC off his Back! Post lots of signs showing support by the road so the media will ask"whats going on...whats the story here?" Maybe send some invites to the BBQ to network media folks"free food and a great news piece!"

Good news!

I know its too late now, but if the B-B-Q would be at Chucks, this time (due to Chrysler) it just might be over 150-200 cars to show support.

Not only that, but then we would have the surroundings of worlds oldest Dodge dealership. Get some publicity and TV crew there too, invite people from Chrysler... get the picture.....

I'll do my best to drive to Saratoge, since I missed it last year with a messed up car.

Since we have Shelby there...

HOW ABOUT INVITING ALSO SOMEONE FROM CHRYSLER? Maybe, just maybe it would open their closed eyes...

Yeah, TatorToga at Saratoga sounds like a done deal...but we can always have more TECH sessions at Chuck's...up to him and Rob of course!~~~The gathering of the BEASTS there is phenomenal...not to mention support for Chuck and his dealership. ~juli

I' m sure all of us locals would be happy to meet everyone coming by way of the thruway at exit 24 again. We could all cruise up the northway to Saratoga in an orderly fashion. Just like last time!

Bo--Wasn't that a RUSH!!!! Don't know if you're clued in on what's happening with Chuck?
Check out the threads: "Save the Wizard" T-Shirts?
Didn't have your email address any longer, so couldn't forward you the petition to sign (I cannot find it right off the bat here)...your support would be great! ~juli
