Are we having another BBQ like the one Luke did earlier this year?  I remember someone talking about maybe having another get together this fall and maybe one of the last crusie nights up this way like last time. 

Am i suggesting my place? no. i would but i live in a development and they dont care for my vette let alone 20 or so vettes showing up. they love the cars but hate the loud exhaust and engines. 

I wouldnt mind helping set up some BBQ at some park though. or soemthing like that.  Just an idea. might be gettin colder eventually but doesnt mean we cant still roll around and meet up.

just an idea.

Yeah man, Id be up for that!  Great idea!

I'll have to see on how this goes.    But the vote would be as KeBo said 'Id be up for that!'.

I'd also be interested

Paul, location sounds good but i dont want to intrude on your family. perhaps there is a park we can all roll out to and haev a BBQ at one like that. then we could haev plenty of room to line our cars up for a big group pic etc....  anyone know of a park we could do this at? i am checking in my area currently. 

Round Valley or Spruce Run? Both really nice - haven't been there in a few years...both HUGE parks in north western Jersey...

I'd love to make this one.  Missed the last one.  My problem is I'm currently working for someone else and have to request my days off for the next month by the 3rd week of the present month.  Just asked for my Oct. days off.  Maybe I'll get lucky.

A WORK IN PROGRESS

(Click to see a bigger version)

not sure on the date. obviously it would have to be october or early november. cant be too cold or no one will show up.  round valley or spruce run looks good but have to see what time of the year the parks are open.  even a small local park that we can grill at would be cool. we can bring a charcoal grill somewhere and set up like that.  up by me is Jockey hollow park and morris county park.  any other suggestions?

Pending the arrival of my 1st grandkid sometime around 10/22, I'm in.

1972 T Top 454; "Boomer" Latest "upgrades": 1 1/8" front Stabilizer bar. Rebuilt SS calipers with O-ring pistons. Under car Chambered exhaust. Fiberglass rear spring (360lbs/in). Bilstein Rear Shocks. 3/4" Rear Stabilizer Bar. Tow hitch. Performer manifold with 600 cfm Holley. Comp Cam 262 .499 lift. L-88 Hood in process

Jockey Hollow is nice. There is also the Manasquan reservoir by me. Absolutely gorgeous facilities.

Manasquan sounds good. heard about it but never been there.  we need to get this topic out to the others in NJ somehow to have a big BBQ. small is fine as well.

Sure - I'll be more than happy to contact the parks dept to file whatever is needed in terms of permits.

Sounds Good Man.  Now we gotta all pick out a date to meet up.  this BBQ will basically be in october. not much lead time to get everybody together rather than the last couple of events we all had.  Fall is a short season and i know nobody wants to meet up in winter let alone even think of bringing their cars out in the cold. so we haev limited time to plan this. not trying to rush anyone into anything, Mother nature will do that part for us.

Oh and this goes for everyone. our site is basically a family oriented club, everyone talks with everybody. no execptions to anything. so obviously bring the wife/husband/Gf/BF, kids too (course they will have to follow you in the rear).  the more the better it will be.    so if your significant other wants to spend time with you, tell her/he to come along.

id love to go there- that sounds like a nice place! flown over that area lots of times, would love to check it out

Only a Saturday would work for me (I work on Sundays) and not on October 28th (Skyline Drive Cruise).

7th looks really good for me. 14th Almost as do-able.

I would be leaning towards the 14th or 21st. gotta give everyone time to schedule it and get free.  what does everyone else think?

Any one of those dates are good with me.   14th or 21st.  

The 14th is no good for me, I'll be in Bowling Green, 21 st is better for me.

Then how about the 21st? it will work for Dave most likely and it is a saturday so we dont have work the next day (or atleast most of us dont).  the more the better it will be plus the 21st is basically the half way point thru fall.

October 21st and Manasquan Reservoir sounds good to me. 

Iron822006-09-21 10:22:11

What time is good for everyone? i entered this event into the events calendar so it goes out to those who get the emails but dont get a chance to sign on often to see the topics. i put 10 am to 10pm to keep the times available but i will change it when the real time frame is good.

Oh well, Manasquan doesn't have a dedicated picnic area!! I think we're back to the parks up north. Any takers on Spruce Run or Round Valley?

Those two are both around 3 to 3 1/2 hours to drive.  

Sounds like you guys have a pretty good plan. Unfortunately, all my Saturdays in October are booked . Once I know the actual date I may still have a chance on going. It all depends on where I'll be and what time I'll start and finish my seminars. If I do manage to go I won't be getting there until after 2:PM.

round valley would be the closest one.    Iron, what time is best for you since you are the one driving the farthest?

Jermey and others.    If do pick a time.  Why not NOON/12pm and last until 6pm         Just need to leave the BBQ by 6pm lastest.   

The drinks are good. i will bring a grill (small portable) and burgers, buns and condiments. 

Sounds to me like a new thread should be started with a Subject in the form of [City, ST] Event - Date, with the top post with all the important details.

I will try to be there!

[QUOTE=Movie Collector]ok so lets be realsitic. who will actually be able to make this BBQ? [/QUOTE]

Jeremy,

What are the final details of this event?  Date, Time, Location?

If it is at Manasquan Reservoir, has anyone looked into where EXACTLY we'll all meet? Do reservations have to be made, or do we just show up? etc.

If it is on 10/21, I can make it, but I'll have to bring my son and not my Vette.

Once you give me final details, I'll start a new thread about it, to hopefully get more exposure.  I can also send out a regional event special email.

date:  10/21 (saturday)

Details--- BBQ  last get together before our vettes get covered over for the winter.  I dunno maybe a group shot if we could manage it like the last couple of get togethers and the gathering in Tenn.  Not much more to it unless others have ideas..... Movie Collector2006-10-02 13:17:55

I will be away on vac. from 10/6 untill around 10/18. So far I'll be able to make it on the 21st. I will get back to you when I get back home. Did you check to see if the park is open or if we need a permit. I don't think we will since it sounds like it won't be too big a group. I'll check with some friends of mine to see if they want to go.
