2015 Western NY Kick-Off Cruise to Watkins Glen International
- Thread starter blwn93gt
- Start date
That's ok Matt, originally I thought around 60, now we are 70+ and they continue to keep rolling in, we will have a group meeting us in the town on Watkins Glen and groups coming from all over the state meeting us in Geneva, there might also be 2 groups coming from PA and 1 group from New Jersey.
I will have 2-3 police cars from the town of Geneva coming down to help us pull out and escort us onto Rt.14, they are doing there annual 5K run down 14 this year again, so we will need to watch for runners and spotters all the way down 14 along the lake, it will be a mess to get through the town of Watkins Glen, but we can handle that, after 4 years of doing this, I am kinda getting used to it
We will have a quick get together with everyone before we leave Geneva so everyone will know the plans for the cruise and whats going on.

It will be the jobs of the coordinators in each region to make sure that any newbies are in the middle of the group so nobody gets lost. For people coming from other areas, just make sure to contact or mention on this thread where you are coming from and network with nearby members so that everybody can meet up eventually.
Looks like Opening Day at The Glen is going to rock!
See you all tomorrow!

I really want to get a few times in around the track the glen website says it stops at 3 is that correct? If so I'm going to show up there a lot sooner I'd like to spend a few hours at the track can anyone tell me if the event will go later than 3? Thanks

Myself and Vicegrip, will be leaving the Hinsdale exit of The southern tier expressway about noon and traveling east to the glen. I expect that we will meet up with NY2010Roushstage2 and crew at the state park lot and join them until the rest of the wagon train arrives. If my timing is off, then we will head straight to gate 2. If anyone in the southern tier is tagging along with me, let me know what I am looking for or shout out on the radio channel 10.
Anyone coming from the Lake Erie shoreline; Buffalo, Niagara, or around that area. If you use the Flying J as a marker to toss in your phone or GPS here is the address:
8484 Alleghany Rd, Corfu
WE WILL NOT MEET HERE!!!!
This is only to give you a good idea of how much time you will need to get to at least the Pembroke Exit. The thruway plaza is just a few miles from there. We plan to leave the plaza at 10:15.
From the rest stop to the Geneva meeting point takes about an hour and a half, give or take toll booth and stop light delays.
You can reach me (Tracy) at (716)341-1454 and I have Mattstangs number too. Dave it may be easier to meet in Geneva but I will call you when we meet at the thruway plaza to give you a heads up on how many we have and the timing of everyone making it there.
