UPDATE: Autocross Winter Meeting in Southern New England

KBFinFan · 12-11-2002, 11:45 PM

I was thinking about organizing my own Volvo meeting in Connecticut or possibly Mass. Let me know if anyone from this area is interested or wants to be involved. Post here or drop me an email.

UPDATE: Ok everyone, I think this meet maybe a little more fun and interesting if we participated in an Autocross going on in Northern CT. Thanks to applejuice I have learned that there is one going on one of the last 3 weekends this month (it has yet to be determined which one it is). Again, let me know what you think. Personally this sounds very enjoyable and a good chance to prove our Volvo strength.

Bumping this to the top to see if there are any feelers yet.

Bumping it to the top???!!! HEY! Thats not fair! Oh crap, I did it again. Oh well, I don't want anyone reading mine anyways.

Overboosted745 · 12-14-2002, 05:38 PM

I'll be in Maine from tomorrow until Jan. 12th. Maybe if you set something up in Mass or something I might be able to attend...?

voca164e · 12-15-2002, 03:18 PM

I used to live in CT. and would have been happy to attend. But driving from GA to CT is a bit much...LOL!

KBFinFan · 12-15-2002, 09:59 PM

I'd organize a meeting in Mass, but I am not as familar with the area. If anyone else wants to help w/ the planning let me know.

700mopareater · 12-15-2002, 11:52 PM

I'd like to go! (not much of a showpiece but it'd be fun!)

Greg Wong · 12-16-2002, 12:15 AM

hey, I just saw your post today, I'd be up for something, but it would have to be after Christmas. Where in CT are you?

Greg

KBFinFan · 12-16-2002, 10:02 AM

I am located in Orange, near the New Haven area. So I would be more comfortable finding a meeting place around this area. I don't know where exactly as of yet, but I guess just a parking lot somewhere. Since there will be no grassy fields open this time of year. Let me know...

snafu · 12-16-2002, 06:09 PM

I live in Mass, but I would be willing to drive to CT.

KBFinFan · 12-16-2002, 08:20 PM

Ok, sounds great. I posted over at the brickboard too and have gotten a couple of responses. Pretty soon I'll send out an email to people and we can throw around a couple of dates. If I could get around 20 or so cars/attendees I would be really pleased.

own6volvos · 12-16-2002, 08:24 PM

hmm... I need an excuse to drive some place. I have a grandmoter in a 250 year old house out on cape cod. Where would this meet be?

KBFinFan · 12-16-2002, 09:31 PM

It would most likely be in or around New Haven, CT about the middle of CT near the shoreline right along I-95. However, if someone wants to move it somewhere else in CT or to MA it could be arranged.

Greg Wong · 12-17-2002, 12:10 AM

Hey, I know Orange, I lived in West Haven for a while and worked in Milford! There's plenty of places we could meet there. 2 hour ride for me. I just hope we could luck out and get a day with decent weather.

Greg

KBFinFan · 12-17-2002, 02:13 AM

Really? Ya, there are a lot of places to meet as long as its sunny and not too cold. I contacted the local dealership, the one own by Paul Newman, and asked if they were interested. Otherwise, I guess I'll just gain permission of some company or something and have it in a large parking area?

Who else is in?

KBFinFan · 12-17-2002, 10:53 PM

I sent a mass email about the meeting and its possibilities. If you could forward it to anyone interested it would be appreciated. Let me know if more are interested as well.

Blackbrick · 12-25-2002, 12:27 PM

I'll be there! Rain, shine, snow, or ice, I got tire chains :wink:

Greg Wong · 12-29-2002, 07:15 PM

So what's up? Any more information?

Greg

KBFinFan · 12-29-2002, 07:23 PM

I've been a little lazy planning wise due to the holidays, but we can still get together as long as its worthwhile for everyone..

760T man · 01-01-2003, 09:37 PM

I'm still up for it. I need an excuse to get a good ways out of NH for a day too.

700mopareater · 01-01-2003, 10:12 PM

Hey i'm up for it still too, count me in, just need details

applejuice · 01-01-2003, 10:58 PM

there is a winter autocross in bristol CT. check out http://cartct.com/

KBFinFan · 01-02-2003, 10:12 AM

Is this something everyone would like to do? I've never done it, and don't have a helmet, but maybe I can buy one or borrow one..

Let me know..

Greg Wong · 01-02-2003, 04:37 PM

I would definitely try to make it, whether it's an autocross, or just a meet n greet

Greg

KBFinFan · 01-02-2003, 10:13 PM

Okay, we can either meet and greet somewhere this Sunday ( I guess a parking lot or something?) or postpone it and try to get a bunch of people in on the Autocross..

Let me know
