2 weeks away! We’re going to all meet up and cruise out from the Garden Place Hotel at **10:00am** since it’s right next to the thruway and super easy to find because it’s gaudy as hell: ![http://www.salvatores.net/images/hotel_photo_small.jpg](http://www.salvatores.net/images/hotel_photo_small.jpg) For directions to the meet location and route to Watkins Glen, [CLICK HERE!](http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=NY-78+N%2FTransit+Rd&daddr=watkins+glen,+ny&geocode=FYBRjwIdHi5P-w%3BFVWthgIdtAFr-ymPYdl7ClnQiTEJF1GeEb0s1A&hl=en&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=17&sll=42.946929,-78.695197&sspn=0.003668,0.010504&ie=UTF8&ll=42.976521,-77.667847&spn=1.876792,5.377808&t=h&z=8) For the Canadian guys, if someone sets up a cruise from your area PM me so we can exchange contact info. We’ll wait at the hotel until you guys get there, then all cruise out to the track! Make sure to account for border delays and bring some cash for the tolls - Canadian money is accepted at the booths, but it’s discounted a bit. ---

Then take the long way there if you want. Just make sure you leave earlier than 10 or you’ll miss the lapping. ---

My buddy and I are just going to cruise down on the sat. so those border delays won’t matter and getting up early isn’t for me. We were going to stay in Batavia for the night but if we’re meeting at this place, we’ll just stay there. I love a good gawdy ass hotel. So just in the morning make sure you don’t cruise on out of there without us tho, I’m sure we’ll be set and ready to go before 10. Black S14 with ontario plates. See you there ---

Don’t be a puss - Newman drove there last year in the Exige on Azenis _in the snow_ if I’m not mistaken. 🙂 You aren’t in the BlownEuros topic, you’re in Watkins Glen. It’s 144 miles, 2+ hours. ---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ---------- Josh is time stamp cheating, no fair!
