Hey guys, my name’s Josh and I’m from [NYSpeed.com](http://NYSpeed.com)!
We have several events coming up this spring and Vlad said it was cool if I cross-posted them here :thumbup
Some of them are a bit of a drive, but if you’re looking for a fun automotive related trip for the spring feel free to join us!

_ **Blown Euros Supports** _
_Sunday, April 17_
Sesame Place, Langhorne, PA
Discussion Thread: [LINK](http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?215993-%ABOFFICIAL%BB-Blown-Euros-Supports-2011-Spring-GTG-Langhorne-PA-April-17th)
This is a huge event for anyone into European vehicles put on by our friends from Blown Euros. It was so big that in 2009 we had the camera guy for Google Earth do a fly-over and take pictures 🙂
The $5 entrance fee goes to support the local Red Cross.
Here is video from the 2010 meet: [http://www.vimeo.com/21380292](http://www.vimeo.com/21380292)
And video from the 2009 meet (with Google Earth pictures in the beginning): [http://www.vimeo.com/4304660](http://www.vimeo.com/4304660)

_ **SON240sx / Bings.ca Spring Niagara Meet** _
_Sunday, May 1st_
St. Catherines, ON
Discussion Thread: [LINK](http://www.son240sx.org/showthread.php?218547-%ABOFFICIAL%BB-SON240sx-Bings.ca-Niagara-Meet-2011%21-Sunday-May-1st)
This is the largest Nissan 240sx meet in Canada and takes place just outside of Niagara Falls. Each year we cruise with 100+ cars through the falls and pretty much take over the local car meet spot for the night.
Here is video from this meet: [http://www.vimeo.com/3880274](http://www.vimeo.com/3880274)

_ **NYSpeed Spring BBQ** _
_Sunday, May 22nd_
Dunntire Raceway / Lancaster Raceway, NY
Discussion Thread: [LINK](http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?215255-%ABOFFICIAL%BB-NYSpeed-Spring-BBQ%21-BURNOUTS-APPROVED-amp-ENCOURAGED%21-Sunday-May-22nd)
This is our annual spring BBQ and since everyone loves burnouts, we’ll be cooking tires as well as food this year! Last year we had it at a park… and they didn’t like the tire smoke, lol. $25 for admission, food, drinks and burnouts.

_ **PittSpeed vs. NYSpeed Drag Race** _
_Sunday, May 29th_
Wattsburg, PA
Discussion Thread: [LINK](http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?211127-%ABOFFICIAL%BB-PittSpeed-vs.-NYSpeed-1-4-Mile-Drags%21-May-29th-*ONLY-20%21*)
A friendly drag competition between NY & PA, literally in the middle of nowhere at “the oldest still operating 1/4 mile drag strip in the USA.” This is as close to legal street racing as you can get… since the track is really more like a street than a track, lol. $20 to race ($10 goes into the pot for a payout) or $10 to watch.

Just make sure you don’t stay with Onyx at any rest areas.

> So I’m driving back from Syracuse when my truck decides to act up. There is a parking area up ahead so I pull in. This was about 5pm. I get out and check the truck over and things seem fine, and happen to glance to my side and see some dude in a Volvo wagon with his door open… and nothing on shirt-down.

> WTF! But it gets more creapy…

> I decide not to risk driving any more in case there is a bigger issue, but I back out of my space and drive to the far side of the lot just as a test. Then I call for a tow.

> I sit in the same place waiting for the truck for about an hour and 45min. The Volvo dude doesn’t leave either. Eventually all other cars & trucks leave and it’s just us at opposite ends of the lot. The guy then starts up his car and drives right up next to me… and sits there.
>
> FUCK YOU FGGT. I call the thruway phone # that was the last number I called and tell them I’m waiting for a tow and some creap is trolling the lot. A few minutes into my phone call my tow arrives and I tell the thruway I’m all set, but that the guy is still there.
>
> I tell my tow driver what happened and he says “yeah, lotsa fags like to hangout here.” Good to know.
>
> Unfortunatly my tow driver couldn’t take me all the way back to Buffalo so I’m sitting at a gas station right now waiting for ANOTHER tow… Awesome.
:rofl
If I can make it, I will make it to a few of these.
Too early to tell now
FYI Fellas this is a good opportunity to stop bench racing each other and represent 518 else where _as a group._ @ the drag race event.

HA! Yeah I don’t think I’ll ever use another parking area again…
And we’d love to have some runs vs. you guys at the drag event!

One of us had a near death experience and the other… well just a new experience that day :tongue
:lol
Trick is to get our guys riled up.
I think they are sick of bench racing each other so we can put their ego to the test against other areas.

We have plenty of pot-stirrers who can get your guys riled up… but releasing the hounds is easier than getting them back in their cages, lol.
Could be entertaining though 🙂

They don’t call rest stops “pickle parks” for nothing…

Well Blown Euros was a great time, don’t know if any of you guys made it. 1,000+ people and a LOT of cars :tup:

The 240sx meet went great despite a little rain! 120+ people. Here are some better pics, but they don’t really show the size of the meet;
Our BBQ is this Sunday if anyone is interested in making the drive to Buffalo 🙂

Man I’ve been feeling really under the weather. I end up passing out every-time on my days off and sleeping around 12+ hours.
Any Shifters want to go on the 22nd BBQ or May 29th Raceway? More cars would make it more fun to drive down.

Vlad, if you can get a group together call or text me when you’re on your way or when you know if you’re coming. The track is going to be charging at the gate (money goes to them, not us) but I’ll make sure you guys don’t pay full price since you’ll be driving a far distance :thumb
My car won’t be done for this though. Still putting it back together ☹

Vlad, let me know if you have a group coming out on Sunday. I’ll most likely be going to this and as a former 518’er would love to shoot the shit with some of the 518 guys
