I am very disapointed I could not go on Saturday becasue of my leaking car. BUT I did get to launch some model rockets.

Anyway I have a few ideas for the next cruise. I would like it two to three weeks from now. Also Some ideas for spots are:

KFC in Carmel-the parking lot is nice
Marcus Dairy Restaurant- by the way it starts April 28th
Burger King in Brewster- big parking lot
Red Rooster in Brewster- Much better for an old car cruise/ but small lot
Any more suggestions would be great!
Pasquale's pizza in Carmel-near the burnt down wendy's

Also I wil bring pics of my car this time so everyone can at least see what I have!

Kevin, we'll talk about these later this week when i get back in NY, im in RI right now some of them sound like some good ideas...i'll talk to you then.

Kevin....how about the HUGE empty part of the parking lot where shoprite in carmel is. They use it to hold the bazaar there, I use it to test my 4x4 in my truck when it snowy ;) It huge, and nobody bothers you over there. Just another option.

That sounds good! That means we can make someone drive over to KFC and pick up a few buckets of chicken for all of us. Oh and those scrumptious BISCUITS!
What kind of 4x4 do you have?

just an 01 blazer...nothing special. I just go there when its snowy and mess around.

I'd rather cruise around then hang in a parking lot, unless we have a BBQ!

Any requests for specific areas to cruise? What about a fishkill to rhinebeck area cruise? Or a new paltz area cruise, get something scenic then hang out afterwards. If we had even more planning, get together with the "other" generation camaro clubs and have one long cruise with each generation in order. Just figure i'd throw that out there. Mike

That is good. The only reason I suggested these areas is becasue they are close to me, and I do not know how far my firebird will get before it runs out of coolant!
I would really like to have the next cruise at some kind of nostalgic restaurant type place. Like Red Rooster(I know it is not old but ist gives you that 50's era feel) Also there is Arnolds, do any of you know about Arnolds, it is based off of the Happy days Arnolds. It does not look like it but it is cool. I think when it gets warnmer they have girls on roller skates come outside and serve you food at your car!!!

I think what we could do somewhere down the raod (May, June, or July) when planning is easier is do a BBQ into a cruise, or vis versa.

My opinion would be a cruise from say fishkill to rhinebeck, or to new paltz or all three.

I'm not sure about an event in April as i dont know if i will eb able ot make it, but if everyone wants to have one i will help plan it and see what happens.

One suggestion for a summer bbq is i know along the Taconic state parkway there are parks and picnic sites and i believe there is one up towards hydepark that is right on the river, might be a nice spot for a bbq.

Off of taconic there is James Baird park..which would be an awesome spot, and i bet we can use any of the mansions in Hyde Park which rest along the hudson.

I think we may have something here , I havent been up that way in years, but i remember it as being very nice.

The mansions (Mill's and Vanderbilt) are amazing. I would have to look into where and if there are BBQ's on the site. I know for a fact parking would not be a problem at all though.

Eric, what is the state park that even has a marina on the water? along the hudson.

Im not sure...give me a little time to figure out which one it is.

I like the nostalgic type of restaurant with the bell hops. Just dont know of any around here.

Do" hooter" girls have tassles??lmao or do they wait cars instead of tables??lol Is that nastalgic enough??

I'm definitely in for a Marcus Dairy cruise. I'll have to find out if that dyno guy will be going this year.

The dyno guy is there every year. He is just not there every week. But I go to Marcus Dairy EVERY saturday if possible. So if any of you are going I will be there. Just post up telling me if your going so we can meet!!

I would love to meet up, just my car prob wont be ready to go for a couple months. I could go in my daily driver, my audi . not a camaro but it would be cool to meet everyone neway.

hey, why don't you guys come to Brooklyn???



yeah, right. Just kidding...needed a LOL for the night.

Hey Ed.. Finally got the car down to Brooklyn tonight.. If ya wanna get together, let me know.. We could do something with the LI guys that dont wanna go upstate..

And you guys upstate could definitly count me in fo rthe next cruise now.. :)
(unless I break something else that is.. )

I talked with the dyno guy last year and he was debating selling the business, so I'm not sure he still has it. He told me he tries to go every other week. I never got a chance to put the car on it last year, but if he is there this year, I'll make sure I get it done this time, I didn't have that O2 bung installed for nothing. :)

That would be so disapointing if he sold the business, I love seeing cars pull a few runs. It is also entertianing seeing some of them break.

When do the shows start happening at Marcus? Although with this friggin COLD weather - sheesh. It was snowing this morning !!!

Well lets hope we get outta the 30's by then. Blech.
At least I managed to start my car yesterday - its itching to come out of hibernation ...

It starts april 28th!!!!! YEAH!!!!!

I'm going away that weekend, so I wont be making the first cruise. I'm off May 5th and 12th though. The dyno is called Chassis Dyno Performance Corp. The guys name is John and his number is 914-490-4306 if anyone wants to give him a call.

I cant wait for Marcus, unfortunately i will be driving the fireturd until the camaro is done. It is getting there Ineed to fix the loat, get the brake lines and trans cooler on. I cant wait until I can hear hte big block rumbles and tires screeching again.

I just got off the phone with John, and he no longer owns the dyno :(

I am going away this weekend, but I'm off the following two, I hope to make it to Marcus Dairy at least one of those two weekends.

It is sooooooo nice out... Marcus Dairy's first cruise night is going to be AMAZING!! I am bringing My '86 Fireturd T/A, my brother would bring his IROC but it is laid up. Maybe Ill get my Z28 on the road for the summer!! But it depends all on when I get my rusted floor pans and toe board welded in along with some other details tied up.

Marcus Dairy is on Saturday evenings?? Unsure, if anyone could let me know. Thanks. Mike

Man i wanted to go and put that dyno to the test :p

I would have taken the night off from work to see that ;)

the 79 cut off date kinda blows for alot of guys,mine wont be ready.I hope to put the shortblock together this weekend.maybe put it in next week.still waiting on some parts,and powder coating.hope too see ya all at rhinebeck

The only thing i might have time for in the next month or so is maybe a weeknight car cruise, too busy with Little League with both boys playing this year. Plus i'm up in the air on when i'm getting my leaf springs done, i'm trying to order OER only parts, but there is a backorder on the OER leaf spring installation kit, this is not good. This is really holding me up, not going as planned, thats for sure.

Wow, that really blows about the dyno. I have the number of another place called Romar. I seen the number somewhere and stored it in my phone. I think it might be in CT somwhere.

Well, even without the dyno it will be fun to go.

Is this the place?

Romar Enterprises, Inc.
P.O. Box 707 630 Rte 52
Walden, NY 914-778-2737

I posted another one a while back in Danbury, pretty much a Mustang guy though. At the time he wanted to install an O2 bung and I wasn't going to let him do that to my car. Now with the new exhaust I had one installed, so it might be worth looking into again. He wasn't cheap though.

romar is just a few miles from me near newburgh and walden not cheap!

Thats the place Flash...I dont know why I thought they were in CT. How 'not cheap' are these places?

Hey guys I know most of you are upstate but if your looking for a cruise destination and dont mind coming down into Jersey, the is a great place called the Chatterbox in I think Agusta, which is up in Sussex county, no wheres near the armpit.

It is an old drive in, and its all done up in car stuff with a dragster inside. I went there last year for a camaro show but it was canclled at the last minute.

But the place is cool, and you New Yorkers could take 7 lakes drive down to the end in Sloatsburg, and head up 17 instead of down, and ride thru the country out to Warwick, and then head south into Jersey via 94 or 202 or 206 and wind up at the chatterbox.

Something to consider for an all out Cruise maybe later on in the summer some time.

I think the place in Danbury wanted about $125 for 3 pulls. I'll have to check it out again. There is a place in Milford, CT, Pruven Performance, that I have gone to a few times in the past, but it's now an hour drive from me. Besides, they are a ricer shop.

Thats a good idea, later in the season when we're looking for a nice cruise route that might work, and we might be able to get the LI guys to go over there also. (remind us of this in june and july)

Sounds like a nice cruise.

Hey I'm local to the Chatterbox, every sat now there is something going on.
Let me know if you need more info. I know a couple of members of the host club.

How about a BBQ?

Oh Doug there will be a BBQ don't you worry about that :)

How about a BBQ?


How about at the burned down Wendy's out in Carmel??lol

I went to Marcus dairy, there was one second gen and it was a white '80 I think. But there was not many cars. Although there was a pick up with airbags that was scraping the frame rails for about 200 feet.
Also they allowed a CRX in, but there WAS a catch, it was powered by a jet turbine!! It was SO loud!! Really cool!! The FIRST and only inmport car I have ever taken a picture of!!!!

How about at the burned down Wendy's out in Carmel??lol


That's where I met you guys last year, what happened?

That's where I met you guys last year, what happened?

Yeah...the place burned down in Sept or Oct i believe. I dont know if they are rebuilding it or not.

they are rebuilding.....what I dunno, but it looks like another wendys. Looks like its almost done too.

Almost done? I was by there a couple weeks ago, there was not even a foundation!!!!
