[rhoidahl]

This sounds like a good event to go to. Anyone want to meet up at the exit 4 Burger King and drive other together?? We will still have time to get back to Hooksett for Cruise Night...

[Jays66gt]

I can meet the group somewhere around Peterboro. Love to join the Mustang group.

[chachee52]

I would love to go. Wonder if it's as good at Harpoon?
I won't know if i can go until closer to that date. Might be up in the Lakes region with some friends running some stupid race at Gunstock.

[ToplessPony94]

Is it just me? I actually don't see the dates anywhere on the official web site! Wonder if they know that!

[LILBLKSNAKE]

Any show classes??

[whtmare]

Any show classes??

3 jeep classes you will be good

[Jays66gt]

Looks like its a non judged show.

[chachee52]

oooo, the Saturday contest is "Must Have BACON!!!"

[Jibber]

I would be in for the "cruising" piece of this day. I have adopted a "NO" car show theme for this year, but a ride over Temple mtn would be nice. Once there I can peel off the group and head back home or elsewhere.

[Dennis O'Shea]

Lets hope you have a sticker by then

[ToplessPony94]

I may be up for this - need to see if some previous plans can be changed.

[Jibber]

That hurts.....

Are you in? Or you concerned your car wouldn't make it up the Mtn?

[Dennis O'Shea]

Its not the car I am worried about its me You know that my health is failing quickly

I don't classify the need for depends as a health issue.

Just get the Swiffer going and commit to this cruise. Sounds like a blast.

[Dennis O'Shea]

Why do you make things public that I tell you in confidence Why do you continue to hurt me so.And by the way did you get your sticker

if you need help with a sticker, let me know...I have a buddy who works at Toyota of Nashua who owns a turbo bullitt that can get you inspected. He inspected Justins car.....

Thanks. I'm all set now. It was really never an issue. I guess the new tune I have, I cannot unplug the battery in the winter, which is what I've done the past 3 years. I guess the old tune I had was different in that I could plug the battery in, drive the short drive to Protree and it would pass inspection and emissions.

Im not sure why my NEW tune would require me NOT to unplug the battery and have to take 7-800 miles to be ready for the test. I won't have that mileage until about end of July.
Oh well... Just something else I need to get used to.

[ToplessPony94]

Awwwww! Too bad! Looks like you'll just have to plan to take a sick day in April and the only cure will be to drive the Cobra all day. LOL!

[rhoidahl]

OK, all that being said, who would like to meet up, and where, on Sat 6/01 to head over to Keene?? The usual Exit 4 Burger King, plan to leave there between 9:00 and 9:15??

[ToplessPony94]

I'd be in for that!

[Jibber]

Perhaps somewhere in Nashua area would be better as we need to go out via 101 to Keene.
We can meet at the Target in Nashua across from Best Ford then head West.

because the OBD2 testing regulations are getting tougher and smarter. Check the threads on SVTp for details....it's not just Mass anymore

Do we really want to deal with 101 in west Nashua and Merrimack on a Saturday AM and all the traffic lights? I would meet somewhere around Exit 1 of Rt. 3 and go out through Hollis/Brookline on back roads to Milford, then take the bypass around Milford. I did that as my commute for many years, so I could lead that if no one else knows those roads.

I'd suggest the park and ride just West of Exit 5 off the Everett Tpke., near the Nashua Police Station. Then it's a straight shot to Hollis / Milford.

[Dennis O'Shea]

Jesus we haven't even left yet And I am Lost

How about Exit 6. EZ pass center?


Jesus we haven't even left yet And I am Lost

I will help you. I need some service project hours anyways.

Randy I can meet there. Then hook up with the boys and cruise in as a group:cool:

You're right, Bob. I forgot about that spot. Better route from there. I'd be in for that.

[Dennis O'Shea]

Way Too confusing I am staying at home

Dennis, there is a web site that may be a BIG help to you - - -Escort Services
Pilot, Pole and Flag Cars


Many states require escorts for various reasons.
We encourage you to contact one of the AITA Listed Escort Services from the list below
for any of your Escort Services needs.

( These are NOT the escort services you might be thinking of. )

OK. What time do we meet and where do we meet up with the guys meeting at BK? In Peterborough? Or do we meet at Gary's restaurant in Wilton and grab some breakfast?

[SVT10th]

Looking at the website. It looks like Saturday is the grilling championship and Sunday is the BBQ championship.
Saturday Grilling competition includes: Appetizers, Wings, "Must have Bacon", and Burgers.


Still sounds exceptionally delicious.

[SVT10th]

Don't want to get full of breakfast before going to a grilling and BBQ event, do you?

[rhoidahl]

OK, lots of different opinions on where to meet up, probably because we are all coming from different places. My suggestion -- there is a McDonalds as you are driving into Peterborough, I believe the address is 85 Peterborough Street. Why don't we meet up there at 9:30?? How we all get to that point is up to each of us.

For those us in Derry/Londonderry/Manchester area, we can meet at the Exit 4 Burger King in Londonderry, leave there at 8;45 and drive over 101, and meet the rest of group at McDonalds in Peterborough at 9:30.

For those in southern NH and MA, you can meet up in Nashua and drive over by another route to Peterborough.

Is this OK with everyone??

Randy, There is no MacDonalds in Peterborough, the one you mention is in Jaffrey on Rt 202. This is your parade but possibly the VIP / Market Basket Plaza at the western jct of 101 and 101A in Milford might work.

[Dennis O'Shea]

"And It Continues

[ToplessPony94]

Don't want to get full of breakfast before going to a grilling and BBQ event, do you?

Gary's is a great place, for sure, but I want to arrive HUNGRY!

As long as they have BBQ available to eat both days, I don't care. But if the BBQ is only available on Sunday I may bail on Saturday. Unfortunately bacon is so far off my diet I can't even find it on radar. :(

[chachee52]

Unfortunately bacon is so far off my diet I can't even find it on radar. :(

You just shot me in the heart. Bacon is good for you. Just ask the 105 year old lady in Texas that has eaten 3 pieces of bacon a day most of her life!!!

[ToplessPony94]

Bet that lady doesn't have unmeasurably low HDL cholesterol for genetic reasons (which means nothing can be done to get it up higher).

[rhoidahl]

Bob C is correct; the MacDonalds I thought was in Peterborough is actually in Jaffrey; no sense in going there. We can discuss this at cruise night tomorrow night and pick a place for all to meet somewhere between Peterborough and Keene, then everyone can get to that meeting point by whatever route they want to take...

[Dennis O'Shea]

Am I Missing the whole point of going to this I thought we would "ALL" and I stress "ALL"meet up and we would "ALL" cruise to there together I thought That was part of the fun of going "ALL" Together as a group.This Meeting up here and there takes all the fun out of it Pick one and I mean one location and we "ALL" Meet there at a specfic time

[ToplessPony94]

I don't see any problem if some want to meet east of Nashua and then join some that meet west of Nashua. Many don't really want to drive east to go west, and that's fine with me. Meeting between Peterborough and Keene does sound too far west for any real cruising together to me. I think Bob C's suggestion of meeting near the Nashua police station was the best one I've heard for all concerned. If others want to meet at the exit 4 BK and drive to the other meet together that sounds like a good plan to me.

[rhoidahl]

OK, lets go with Bruce's suggestion -- one group can meet up in Nashua; and another can meet up at the 93 Exit 4 Burger King. Why don't people meet at either of those two spots at 9:00, then both groups and any any individual drivers meet at the Peterborough Shopping Plaza at 10:00. The plaza in Peterborough is just before lights where 101 meets 202. Does this work for everyone????

[ToplessPony94]

I'm in for that, Randy!

[Dennis O'Shea]

Kevin and Myself are going to go up on our own

[ToplessPony94]

Kevin and Myself are going to go up on our own

Won't you be surprised when all of us show up in your driveway that morning?!? :D:D:D

[Jibber]

Kevin and Myself are going to go up on our own

There is a reason for this..... My daughters club soccer team won their semi-final game and June 1st is the day of the finals. Just found out today that it's at Noon in Pembroke NH.

For those that want to meet in Nashua, we will meet at the parking lot near the Nashua Police Dept. It is West of the Exit 5 interchange on the Everett Tpke. After crossing the Turnpike on Rte 111, ( West Hollis St. ) travel approx 1/4 mile to the next traffic light, turn right onto Riverside Drive, then take first left and immediate right into parking lot. You will be in front of the Conway Ice Arena.
Meet for a 9 am departure to Peterboro.

[rhoidahl]

REMINDER -- the Monadnock Up In Smoke Barbeque and Car Show is next Saturday June 1st at the Cheshire Fairgrounds in Keene. There are two meeting spots for those who want to drive over as a group - one spot in Nashua, the other at the Exit 4 Burger King on 93. Both groups, and anyone else who wants to drive in together will then meet up in Peterborough to drive the rest of the way together. Times and specifics to be posted later. Extended forecast looks good -- sunny and temps in the low 90s. Cruise Night to follow in Hooksett...

[rhoidahl]

OK, so here are the specifics:

Group 1 -- meeting at the Exit 4 Burger King on 93, departure time from there is 9:00; I will lead this group.
Group 2 -- meeting at the parking lot near the Nashua Police Dept. It is West of the Exit 5 interchange on the Everett Tpke. After crossing the Turnpike on Rte 111, ( West Hollis St. ) travel approx 1/4 mile to the next traffic light, turn right onto Riverside Drive, then take first left and immediate right into parking lot. You will be in front of the Conway Ice Arena. Departure time from there is 9:00. Bob Comire will lead this group.
Everyone will meet up at Peterborough Shopping Plaza (where 101 meets 102) and we will leave there at 10:15 to drive to Keene.

Don't forget that cruise night follows in Hooksett; I will be leaving Keene by 3:00 to go set up for cruise night.

Any questions, post them here on the forum or call me on my cell phone at 603-216-7861. Several members said they wanted some new events, so here is a new one. Let's have a GREAT turnout...

[Dennis O'Shea]

Where's Peterborough ?

[rhoidahl]

OK, how about an idea about who is meeting in Nashua and who is meeting in Londonderry??

[whtmare]

I want to make cruise night. Sitting all day in 90 degree heat is not going to work for me all day I'd end up in the hospital

[Dennis O'Shea]

I agree with Ryan I Am out

[chachee52]

I agree with Ryan I Am out

Were you ever in?

Anyway, I know I've been quiet on this thread, and people that know me know I LOVE BBQ, but seeing that my windshield is not fixed yet (fingers crossed by Saturday) I need to get a TON of work done on the car and around the house before heading to Carlisle. So unfortunately I will not be enjoying great BBQ.
If anyone seen bacon wrapped bacon smoked for 4+ hours GET IT!! It's the most amazing thing that I've ever had. And bring me back one please :cool:

[SVT10th]

I'm in -- 9am at exit 4 BK.

[ToplessPony94]

I'm probably out, but will meet Group 2 in Nashua if that changes.

[SVT10th]

...
Everyone will meet up at Peterborough Shopping Plaza (where 101 meets 102) and we will leave there at 10:15 to drive to Keene.

Just to be clear, it's where Rt 101 meets Rt 202 (Just after you come down Temple Mt...)

[rhoidahl]

Jim -- I'm glad you caught my typo. Typos in directions are NOT a good thing. THANKS...

[SVT10th]

Do we have a list of who's meeting where? (including Facebookers)
Don't want to end up leaving someone behind.


Londonderry LEAVING 9am:
Randy
Jim C


Nashua meetup CANCELLED


Peterborough LEAVING 10:15am:

[ToplessPony94]

99% sure Bruce is out.

[Bob Comire]

Nashua meet-up is canceled. Everyone will meet at Exit 4 burger king in Londonderry.

[rhoidahl]

OK, no meeting place in Nashua -- so people who want to go to this barbeque have three options -- meet at the exit 4 BK at 9:00, meeting at the shopping plaza in Peterborough at 10:00, or meet up in Keene at 11:00. The choice is yours...

[Dennis O'Shea]

I Have been folowing this post with a great amount of joy. Going through the entire post there were 18 post on where to meet up.I am reminded that its like going shopping with your better half. And she changes her mind like the wind picking out an outfit. I have to Say boys on this one going shopping with my wife would be like a walk in the park.Compared to on where to meet up for this cruise.Have a good time and stay cool

[Jibber]

Have fun folks.

[chachee52]

So we are still meeting at the park-n-ride at exit 6 in Nashua?






Just kidding, not able to make it, have a rack for me though. I will be drioling all day

[whtmare]

Hey I'm in Nashua where are you guys?

[Dennis O'Shea]

Went to Burger King At 8:30 and no one there

[Jays66gt]

Sorry about missing the trip and BBQ. I blew a power steering line in Sharon on Rte 123. What a mess. Was not easy getting her home.

[SVT10th]

For you losers who didn't go....

Car attendence about the size of a cruise night

There was a pretty cool SHELBY Viper. They're apparently very rare -- made before Carrol took his talents to Ford

Here's a sample menu - just for Todd
