there's also:
thursdays in Rockypoint/Calverton?? free
friday Bellmore T-station?? free
Friday in haupauge? the mall? exit 49-50? certain area i think you paid
Sat night > there was another area, not sure about it free
also not sure if they still hang out on thursdays at bald hill if i recall the Lyon's club

And don't forget our Tri-State areas
I think there are some cool hangouts in NJ, and the one in Danbury CT
hopefully we can make it

one thing we'd like to try (as i have been saying for the past 17 years) is to go to a drive-in.... the challange.... to find one lol

she said ohhh good i can go in my jammies... i said ummm.... they wont allow you to walk around naked lol

we got to Kohl's late last night (after 8:30)
and there was still a nice sized crowd.
alot of different cars then we've seen before

was nice to take her car out for a ride before i do the other odds~ends to it

I've heard the Miller Palce/RockPoint place is pretty cool.
Haven't had a chance to get there yet, it's hard to get out during the week nights.

I was going to head up there but thought it might be a little too cold for a big turn out. I'll make it up there when it's wamer, I hate the cold. What's a good time to get there about and how late does it go to?

i have no idea when people show up. seems right now people are leaving by 9-930
usually 10-11 seems to be the times when people split from there.

we used to be one of the first ones there back in the day, now that it's so big (or ummmm bigger) people are there way before us

i really miss the Bellmore days thats for sure.

Last year Bellmore was going full swing. I was up there one night and there was no place to park. People are starting to show up already so as soon as it warms up I'm sure it will be packed. I live very close by so if you want I can keep you posted.

Just realized I need my inspection done again so until then I won't be going very far until it's taken care of. Hopefully that will be soon but we'll see how it works out.

Looks like the horsepower gods have smiled upon me again. I'll be fully inspected tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll make it to Kohls tomorrow, I'll see how it goes.

Edit: Ok, my plan is to head there tonight. I'm not sure what time but I'm guessing between 6:30-8:00 range. I should be with a friend who has a 2004 Commemorative Edition Z06, can't miss it. My car looks like the one in the thirdgen banner except it's an '86 in case you want to come over and say what's up.

Last I checked there was Nathan's in Oceanside on Wednesdays, but I haven't been there yet this year.

There's also Atlantic Ave on Thursdays. However, they're **** (******) about late models.

I'm off Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the summer, so I'll probably hit Bald Hill or Forest Hills on Tuesdays and Oceanside on Wednesdays (if its still there).

Saturday nights Kohl's/Ruby Tuesday's on Commack road

haven't been there in a while, but theres a nice crowd there, and there's another on Thursday nights in Rocky Point or somewhere around there.
i haven't gone there, but there is usually a nice turn out from what i heard.

Anybody do the Great South Bay cruise on Friday nights? Bargain News lists it at 6pm at the Great South Bay shopping center on Montauk Hwy in Lindenhurst (might it actually be Babylon?). I may swing by with the kids if I don't take them to see "Cars" (the movie).
