3rd Annual New England Car Enthusaist Meet Sunday May 11th 2008!
3rd Annual New England Car Enthusiast Meet - MA,NY,CT,RI,NH,ME,VT
Last year was great! Last years meet had an EXCELLENT turnout (even for a partially cancelled meet due to what was supposed to be a snowy forecast), hopefully will be the same this year if not better . This year its at a later date so that way hopefully it will be a bit warmer! RAIN OR SHINE OR SNOW. Everyone be sure to see what the weather is like in Worcester Massachusetts, thats what we're going by. ALL CARS WELCOME, THE MORE THE BETTER, feel free to bring food, drinks, anything, no alcoholic beverages. What: Car Enthusiast Meet, all cars welcome When: Sunday, May 11th 2008, 12pm - whenever Where: Advanced Auto Parts II, on Grafton Street (NOT AutoZone both are very close to each other) in Worcester Massachusetts. Directions: From New York - Find I-90 E (aka., the Masspike) Take Exit 11 (Millbury/Worcester) at Intersection off exit, take a left at the lights, stay straight for about 2-3 miles, Store will be on the right side. From Conn. Take I-395 North until it changes into I-290 East, Take Exit 14 towards Grafton/Uxbridge route 122 (rt. 122 is Grafton st), at intersection off exit stay right, take a right at the light, stay on Grafton St. for about 1 ½ miles. Store will be on your left. From Rhode Island - Easiest way to get there from 146 is about 10 minutes longer than another way but the other way is more complicated, easy way - Take Route 146 North, until you reach I-90(Masspike), after tollbooth go I-90 East Towards Boston, Take Exit 11 (Millbury/Worcester) at Intersection off exit, take a left at the lights, stay straight for about 2-3 miles, Store will be on the right side. From Maine (If any) -I-195 South / West to I-495 South, to I-90(Masspike), after tollbooth go I-90 West Towards Springfield, Take Exit 11 (Millbury/Worcester) at Intersection off exit, take a left at the lights, stay straight for about 2-3 miles, Store will be on the right side. From New Hampshire - many different ways to get there... dont know how to explain it, but here it goes, for the people next to Concord, take I-93 south to I-495 South then to I-90(Masspike), after tollbooth go I-90 West Towards Springfield, Take Exit 11 (Millbury/Worcester) at Intersection off exit, take a left at the lights, stay straight for about 2-3 miles, Store will be on the right side. From Vermont - Take I-91 South to French Kings Highway East, then to Route 2 East Take route 2 East until you get to I-190 South, I-190 South merges into I-290 West, take exit 14, stay right off exit (around a bend) stay right after bend at intersection. Take a right at intersection, you are now on Grafton St. Store will be on your left about 1 ½ miles up the road. NOTE TO ALL COMING FROM I-290 When you get onto Grafton St. bear right of the rotary that comes up after the Mobil gas station that you will see on your right. This is now still Grafton St. it just has a lot of bends and weird intersections. At the next big intersection you want to stay in your left lane and bear left, do not take a complete left turn up a hill, just bear left at the fork, If you went the right way, the CVS will be on your right side, not your left, and there will be a Getty gas station on your left right after the CVS, if you see these places your heading in the right direction. The store parking lot will be on your left side up ahead in about a ½ - ¾ mile. NOTE TO ALL COMING FROM I-90 After you pay the toll, take a left at the lights, stay on this road for about 2-3 miles, if your heading in the right direction you should pass a 7 Eleven which will be on your left, and cross about 3 sets of lights. You will see a big Stop & Shop plaza on your right side eventually, you are now about ½ mile away. Store parking lot will be on your right side. Be sure to post this up on another forum if you know of any that haven’t been informed, more people = better! Take this day off! for pictures from the previous meets, go to www.cardomain.com/id/enjoi926 click the white mirage/evo then go to page 5 (2006), or for last years meet (2007) you can find scattered pictures over a lot of different forums, here is a good one that I have managed to find; (dont mind the guys head near the orange SRT-4, thats because it was two photos put together by someone with photoshop)

i might go pull out the vette next time i get a nice free day and bring it home to my heated garage and do some maintainence work on it.....oil change, plugs, clean the carb etc... it is in great shape and had good paint till ice ripped through the cover of the building its in and fell on it.....luckily has a padded cover on it at all times but it still chipped some paint on the hood and took a chip out of fiberglass on the fender.....and repainting the car is no cheap or easy task im gonna leave it for a few more years save up some extra and have it painted.... i also have my grandfathers 1956 Nomad with a newer built smallblock and 4 speed in it.....gotta find the time to do the brakes in that, it had a frame off resto but the wonderful "power brakes" are crap and failed on me just moving it 100yards and i drove through a fence because they gave out |

The vette actually has a mildly built L79 327ci in it. I dont know much detail wise but I know it came from a 67. As the owner of the 66 before my grandfather had tossed the car in a field and didnt do anything. Long story but everything was mint except the motor had just rusted solid from sitting. The L79 is one of the best all around motors from the era its very streetable and very responsive. It has had some top end work from what i understand and i believe must be in the 400hp/400tq range as it originally came with 350hp/360tq. Its not a crazy motor but hauls some pretty serious ass, the 4 speed tranny is way too short though I wish the gears were a little taller. I mean i can chirp 1-3 pretty easily Oh its also got the side exits on it....mmmmm Im gonna need to pick up some new tires, do the general maintaince stuff and itll be good to go. After that the chrome is starting to get a little ****ty but if i do the paintwork ill pull the chrome obviously and send that out to get redone. Just little things here and there but everything is pretty much original on the car besides the motor replacement. It had a frame off but the frame was mint(long story) and didnt require any work. Threw all new bushings and stuff in, cars like new |

That's cool. I like side exit exhaust... I'd love to do one on ours but we'll probably end up going with a classic 2.75" or 3" with an X pipe. We have to bring our car down to a shop in Seekonk after it's up and running to get dynoed and tuned to make sure everything is fine and good. The LS has some work done to it... cam, p&p heads and throttle body, Mezeire elec. water pump, etc. The guy swapped it into his '01 Camaro before he totaled it (fishtailed and put the back end into a tree with no insurance.... genius). He had ran an 11.6 up at NED with drag radials so it should be a pretty stout motor, but we'll see once we get it on the dyno for sure. He said it's around 485-500hp. Once it's up and running we'll have to get a good old Corvette showing to some of the meets haha... it puts my RS to shame

OEM Side exits for the car today are worth a pretty penny themselves Ya I am not looking to do anything crazy with the vette just keep it pretty simple and original. The little 327 holds its own on the road. Its a peppy little thing. There was a 66 or 67 vette on ebay with an LS swap in it yesterday i was drooling. |
