City- I'll pass the word to the NEVCA. We have a dyno day on Saturday, that Sunday is open. I have a conflict but that's just me.

Thanks!

Here's the museum's website.

We're looking at 125 miles from NYC.

So let's set up a starting spot. How about the Hutch River Pkwy Mobil Station (in the median right after exit #23) at around 8:00 AM.

From there we can cruise up 684 to 84 to 91.

Hey Scott. Why not take the Meritt parkway all the way up? Much more scenic route not to mention ends up in the same spot as 684 to 84????

I'm completely open to route suggestions. The only issue with the Merritt is that it's 50-55 MPH whereas 684 is 65 MPH and I THINK most of 84 is also 65MPH.

But I'll gladly follow wherever everyone decides to go.

Where's our Metro Activities Director (D)? Still hung over from 3 days in the Hamptons? :bonker:

Would anyone mind a non-Viper taging along for the last part of the drive? I live along 84 on the way or could meet up on the Merit too. I've been wanting to take my daughters up to the Museum for awhile and this would be the perfect time to do so. I fly jets for a living so I kind of like the whole theme of the day. It kind of fits me and the car.

You must be registered for see images

That's fine if we take 684 to 84. If we go up the Merritt you'd have to mee us further south.

Gregory if you can get Jet A to burn in your SRT-4, my hats off to you! I use 100 low-lead! :2tu:
