Saturday, March 27th @ 2:00pm
Any significant chance of snow or rain will cancel the meet.

INFORMATION
The 'Fun Run' mini-meets are a monthly gathering of local Mazda owners who want to have a fun ride around the twisty backroads of Bucks County, PA. The cruise is a little over 40 miles long with plenty of twists, bends, hills, and curves http://www.msprotege.com/vbb300/ubb/smile.gif We'll be meeting up at the Park & Ride in Yardley, PA off of I-95 right on the NJ/PA border.

The cruise will start at 2:30, and usually takes about an hour. Directions will be given to anyone who needs them.

If we get a large turnout like the February one, I will alter the first half of the route slightly to avoid getting separated again!!

RULES
1. Keep a safe distance from each other. If we are going too slow for you, then just deal with it for the time being. I'll give you a copy of the directions if you want to take the drive faster by yourself.

2. Strictly obey any 25 MPH speed limits. There are a couple of residential areas along the ride.

3. Use common sense at all times. No burnouts, 'attempts' at drifting, etc.

4. We will be taking things fairly fast, so be prepared for some 'spirited' driving. People that do not feel comfortable taking sharp turns higher than the posted recommended speed (not the speed limit, the speed posted on the yellow signs) will want to stay towards the back of the pack.

5. On straights and slight curves, for the most part we will stay fairly close to the speed limit. However, there are some areas where we will temporarily 'kick it up a notch' ...anybody who has done the run before knows what I'm talking about...that huge downhill after the straight road where everyone was 'warming up their tires' ;)

6. If your car is *significantly* lower than stock you may want to think twice before going on the run. There are a lot of elevation changes, and people with really lowered cars have had some trouble.

DIRECTIONS
From NJ/North: Take I-95 into Pennsylvania. Take exit 51 (the first exit in PA) towards New Hope. The Park & Ride is on your right at the first light.

From NJ Turnpike: Take exit 7A to I-195 West. See directions from I-195.

From I-195:Take I-195 West to the end. Keep to the left, and 195 West will turn into Route 29 North. Continue on Route 29 North to I-95 South. Cross over the bridge, and take the first exit in PA (exit 51 towards New Hope).

From PA/South: Take I-95 North towards New Jersey. Take exit 51 (the last exit in PA). Keep left at the fork, and turn left onto Taylorsville Road. The Park & Ride is on your right at the first light.

From Southern NJTake I-295 North to the end. I-295 will turn into I-95 South. See directions from NJ/North.

If you have any questions about anything concerning this run, feel free to post a reply or send me a PM.

Everywhere else: Send me a PM with your location and I'll get you directions.

Don't think I'll be able to make this one. My kid's been sick all week, and the wife already missed two days of work, so she'll be making up for it Saturday. So I suppose I'll see everyone the 17th, unless anyone wants to get together another time for a "mod party" (no, not "moderator", Justin! lol)

Sorry seth! Not my fault it snowed on Friday and kept the roads wet all weekend :(




Just to let everyone who's attending know: I'm going to be videotaping this run, so if you don't want your car to be in a video looking all crappy and dirty, bust out the wash mitts before you come :) I'm mounting the camera on my roof looking backwards, and taping the entire run. I already have a foward video of my car alone (with the camera mounted to my hood). Between the footage I get tomorrow, and the footage I get during the next fun run, I'll have enough video for a ~5 minute edited film of all the fun :)

YES, it IS!! j/k Nah, it's just typical of my luck/timing. Oh, well. By the next run I'll have my Pro-kits and some other goodies installed, anyway. So it's all good.
Everyone have a good run and be safe! But be sure to provide some good driving exhibitions for the "film crew"!

I was goin to wash my car today, but "they" are saying rain during the eve. So i am going to wait until the AM.

I am curious as to how you are mounting the camera? Or do we have to wait until tomorrow to see you in action?:D

Hehe don't worry about the camera. It aint moving nowhere once it's mounted.

Hell even if I get it back in time to make it to the meet the N20 and cage wont be in ... im still waiting on parts for the cage, and the day the nitrous came in, the shop decided to take the car a week early. When I get the car back ill be in a mad rush to get it all installed before the April 4th show!

But yes, there will be nitrous, with some accessories for the nitrous, the cage, and some extra things done to the car itself besides the painting of the kit ;)
