Finally got my car running after the motor swap and would like to get a small group of us thirdgen guys to go out and cruise Ritchie sometime in the next couple of weeks. If you're in, let me know! Great chance to go shoot some videos and meet some of the local guys. ( and play with some **** )

My Formula has plates (finally!), so I can drive it (legally ) on the street. I haven't been in the area for long, so are there some "hangout" places on Ritchie Hwy on Sat. nights?

FWIW, there's a little strip mall up the road from where I live (Dorsey Rd near Arundel Hills mall, not too far from Ritchie Hwy) that has a car show on Saturday nights. It's next to a Goodyear and Texaco, and across the street from the fire department. I went by there last Saturday, and there were handful of old school muscle cars there. Might be a good opportunity for crashing? The complex has a couple restaurants.

I've been in there before. It's a classic car club. I doubt they'd like us crashing it. Ritchie is a good place to hang out on the weekends. The cops don't mess with the domestic guys, they'd rather pick on the ****

MdFormula350

up in Glen Burnie around the furniutre place (lazy boys) or across the street in the bolwing alley parkinglot.. or up north alittle further in the mc donalds parking lot, checkers lot or wendey's lot..

i heard about the Dorsey Road roading, never went up there..

I might be up for it

FYI slow 305, that show allows any year make model car, although most of the guys there prefer the older pre 72 muscle cars. I used to work at Al's (restaurant in that plaza) several years ago. That's little league though. Just up the road a little, Sicily's Pizza (near McCormick and WB&A) has a REAL show on Saturday nights. Usually around 200 cars, pre 72 though But its still something I show up for a couple times a month. Nothing like seeing a few 8 and 9 second street legal cars

MdFormula350

i am ready for it, too bad this weekend weather was horrible..

maybe next week we could go to capitol and then cruise ritchie at night.. :lala:

You guys may see me from time to time, i think i'm the only white 91 Z28 on ritchie hwy, so its not too hard to spot me.

NastyL98_T/A

yeah, the pizza place is pretty badass!

Mark, I haven't seen you in a while, where have you been hiding out at?

i've seen you out there Derfrank. I can spot a thirdgen a mile away

Hopefully my car will be running ( good) by this weekend so we can all get together :lala:

Mark A Shields

College 5 days a week
Working 6 days a week

My car should be started up today and drivable

MdFormula350

who's coming out tonight??

i will ride with one t-top on! :lala:

JAYDUBB

Man... My RS isnt ready yet but EMAIL me when yall are hanging out! Im tired of the DC area BORING *** IMPORT street races!

MdFormula350

anyone coming out tonight, i will most likely be cruising from 9 to 12 on Ritchtie, i will most likely stop by McDonalds a couple of times and see whats going on.

cant miss me, i am running open manifolds right now.

Mad-Mic

i'm down if you don't mind a vette head cruising with you guys since the 82 is still out of action.

afterburn

I know I've been gone for a while, but I've been hanging out on Ritche for the past few weeks. There are usually a bunch of ricers at the McDonald's up there.

My '86 is unregistered right now, for about a year probably. I killed the engine and trans, so I'm having the whole car rebuilt by a friend of a friend. He's going to build a 327, 400 trans, 3.73s, Eibach suspension, and they're going to repaint it too.

So, if I were to go, I'd need a ride. I'm sick of riding with all my ***** friends

lol, if the weather is nice this Friday I'll probably be up at Capitol, then find someone to roll to GB with.

Mad-Mic

will the th 400 fit in the tranny well? i heard you gotta seriously cut the hell out of it. th 350 was what i was gonna put in mine but i want a stick

ES87iroc

How is RT2 anyways? Last time I was out there it was chock full of ricers with something to prove and police cruisers looking to bust someone. Has it got better??

Mad-Mic

not really same ole chit different day. i only run to about 50 then shut down but got the radar on and know where they sit at. the import guys are **** holes and ruin it for everyone. it is funny to go and cruise around and laugh at the stupid imports although some will hand you your **** fast. i live about 5 miles from there in severna park.

from what i hear some people been hanging out at I 70 park and ride but i went there once and it was dead at midnight. the other spot i heard of off of north point blvd was beat also. don't hang out at miccy'd's too long the cops will write ya tickets for loitering but there are other spots us domestics hang out like the lazy boy or the bowling alley or even over at Ann's dairy cream.

ES87iroc

Hehe sounds about the same as I remember it.

Hmm, I live right off North Point Blvd in Sparrows Point! Maybe I missed something?

I am going to try and make it out sometime soon once I get my emissions test all squared away.

afterburn

The guy who is rebuilding my car is doing it almost completely custom. I honestly don't know 80% of the specs, lol.

As for the McDonald's, I hang there a lot - and the cops never write tickets unless you're drinking/underage. If you're worried about a ticket, buy some fries. That Mickey D's would lose a lot of biz on the weekends if it weren't for those crowds. There are other places to meet up too, near Modell's, Dorsey, this bank...I forget what it's called. There is also a muscle car group that never seems to get kicked out of this one spot. Maybe one of the guys owns it. ::shrug::

It's still a fun time, but 95% is cruising/talking. I still have fun with that though, every once and a while you get to see a good race. On Saturday, my friend ran her Eclipse against a Typhoon and won, the video should be online sometime soon. Her friend followed in a Supra and taped it. I know she's in the 13s, she totalled her 12 second car (ABS failure), and took the engine, but doesn't have all the periphial mods.

It was fun to watch though!

Mad-Mic

ES87Iroc i like those flares from the 90's style i'd like to get them for mine and a GTA wing and if i can find a stock 82-84 fiberglass hood i'd be happy

hope to see you guys around. the lazyboy lot is small but all GM guys hang out there and never had probs. last time i was at miccy'd's the cop was chasing everyone out and was gonna start issueing tickets for loitering. even if we bought from miccy'd's he said eat it and leave. although he didn't give us GM guys to bad of a time just the normal BS run around.

last year one cop was pretty cool letting us hang out at the metro/kmart lot in jumpershole and he was doing burnouts with his squad car. kicker was when this firehawk (auto with 4000 stall go figure ) we all were watching and then he seen us lined up on ritchie watching and chased us all out

MdFormula350

good old Route 2
i am on there pretty much every day of the week, either commuting to work ro crusing.

alot of imports are always out, some are nice and some are

there are still places spots to get a nice 100 mph going

just spot the cops first couple of laps, i got in a race verses an lt1 trans am, and i kept up to less than a 1/2 cars length.

i guess the guy didint like the sound of my open manifolds.

Mad-Mic

anybody still run down kembo road? that used to be a hot spot 12 years ago or so.

Mark A Shields

anyone ever think of going to a racetrack

Capitol is about 10 mins from me, I've never been there. I may go there next weekend. Anyone up for it?

afterburn

Mark, I'm always game for Capitol! I'm usually at the Test and Tunes on Friday nights. If it doesn't get rained out this Friday, I'll be there. If not - next Friday?

Mad-Mic

yeah i'm good friends with the Cunninhams. sp i know i probably won't go for a few more weeks but i'm usually there a few times a month making some passes.

1991 Z-28

Somebody just IM me on aim
GotACamaro

and tell me when ur going to richie highway, im like 10 mins from there, i wanna go

Mad-Mic

i'm in severna park and hooked up with some 4th Gen F-Body guys tuesday night. had a pretty good time. dusted a 4.6 GT and a few ricers and pulled a car on 1 of the LT-1 4th gens the other one got me by about 2 car lengths

all in all was pretty fun though

dedlydragonZ

Sup toothpick boy, its yours truly, Michelle. I made it over here now. I miss my fellow 3rd gen ppl. lol. It you are out tonight, we will be out in GB. I think I might take her out tonight. Set it up with Jason.

dedlydragonZ

Hey Mark,
The fbodycentral crew and myself go up there and MIR all the time, hell almost every weekend to practice our reaction time and ET's. Let us know and we can meet ya up there sometime.

Mark A Shields

Cool, I went to MIR last yr when I lived in Calvert Co, but now I'm living in bowie, it would make more sense to go to Capitol. I'm hoping in 2 weeks to be able to go. I'll make a post about it on here, when I'm sure I can make it, and maybe we could meet at the McDs right there or something.

NastyL98_T/A

Well I would have gone out tonight if it wasn't for all the damn rain! I finally get the car done and it's raining....sheesh. Maybe tomorrow

afterburn

Mark, if you're going, give me a heads up. I have no problem meeting up at the Mickey D's.

NastyL98_T/A

Ok guys. Rain is supposed to clear up this afternoon. If it does, who's in on a trip to Ritchie?

Mad-Mic

stopped raining here at my g/f's in pg county

NastyL98_T/A

Well, it was a fun night.....until I ran out of gas on the way home. Fu****g gas gauge apparently crapped out on me. Once it got down to 1/4 tank, the needls stopped.......soooooo, I thought I had 1/4 tank of gas....sputter, sputter pop.....stall. >cry< . Oh well, as long as it's out of gas and not something wrong with the new motor I'll be happy. >>>fingers crossed, toes too

MdFormula350

so u still made it back to your house? yeah you probably just ran out.


pretty fun night.

NastyL98_T/A

Yeah, I called my Mom and she picked me up. . I was only 2 miles from my house. The sorry thing is I meant to get gas ont he way home b/c I thought my gauge was bad, but I was so tired I forgot. :lala:

ES87iroc

Geez man, guess your car is not showing you much love these days.

I think you are okay so long as it was that you just ran out of gas. The GM way to relieve fuel pressure for working in the system is to pull the pump fuse and let it run dry. Forget about the "burning up your injectors" old wive's tales.

Mad-Mic

was a good time. nice to meet you guys! after you guys left i did some cruising and seen this stupid *** kid in a del sol weaving in and out of traffic passing on the right turn lane and then down by ann's he hit a full size GM truck and 7 people ended up at the hospital while the del sol was totalled smashed back to the windshield.

stupidity is what stupidity does

guess it takes someone being stupid for someone to learn a lesson.

MdFormula350

i saw that also, i think that was the same del sol from earlier that went by at McDonalds, yup definitely got what was coming to him. but what sucks is that he involved other people.

blocked off the whole street.

ES87iroc

...and therein lies the number 1 reason I stopped going out there.

MdFormula350

yeah, thats true but accidents can happen anytime.

Mad-Mic

Mad-Mic

yep.

he was up at miccy'd's he wrecked the damn car not long ago and just got it fixed. said he hit a shopping cart behind bestbuys at about 60 mph messing around

i think it's the same guy. not too many del sol's running around and now 1 less

sad thing was it was a family with some young kids in the truck. now i'm sure the cops will be busting down hard core.

MdFormula350

i wish we all had an area for drag racing and car shows around here that was free, that maybe would keep the racing off the main streets and be safer.

afterburn

For some reason the cops go after the import/sport compact crowd more. I guess its cause most of the domestic V8 RWD guys don't have an inferiority complex that makes them drive aggressively every second they are on the road.

Most of the V8s I see up there just chill cause they don't have anything to prove. (Well, they might, but they don't act like it.)

Heh, I saw that too My girlfriend wanted me to drive through the wreck to get a better look That Del Sols whole front end was torn up.

I would have been out later that night but my starter decided to call it quits a few hours earlier that night after dinner. Having your pride and joy being towed down Ritchie Hwy on a good race night sucks There were tons of cars out, and my little 2.5L S10 just isn't suited to racing.

EDIT: Mad-Mic: The cops are all over lately. I finally got pulled over for not having a front plate. There goes $50

MdFormula350

i got pulled over a while back right on old mill road Marc for no front plate that 50 hurt me but hey at least no points were given. i was also going 40 in the 30 (late for work, actually made me later for work ) but the cop just gave me the citation for the plate, nice guy.

now i have my beautiful front plate back on
