There is a big Home Depot and Stop & Shop Shopping Center right off Interstate 395. Huge, very open lot on Route 32 right down the road from the Casino. There are places to eat and bathrooms (Chili's, Pizza, Subway, etc.). I'll provide directions later this week if that's acceptable.

Nice thing is we could easily get all the cars together for a photoshoot. This lot is huge and large sections are never used.

Let me know...

Good news! Mohegan has given us their Thames Garage to use, so we are back in a garage! They will be running surface shuttles for us and will have security on site for our cars. The Thames Garage is the overflow parking that you see when coming off of Route 2. There will be a small security charge, so we are asking that donations of any amount are made to help cover that cost. Even one dollar a car will help. Event details are updated on the Facebook page. Over 300 attendees confirmed so far

I was absolutely planning on attending this with my cousin in his new WRX or my buddy in his M3 but they're both unavailable so now I'm on the fence.

Depending on how this week's schedule at work shapes up I may be driving home from Maine on Saturday morning. I'd like to take my time doing so and hit up the Kancamagus highway.

I'll have to make this a last minute judgement call....

Weather looks really good so far and not sure how many here are still interested because this is a tough weekend with two big meets at roughly the same time, Boston Strong and this one. For me, Mohegan Sun is a no-brainer, I live just a few miles away.

I propose that anyone who is going to attend just the Mohegan Sun meet gather before the meet so we can go in as a group. The below location, about 5 minutes from the casino, should be perfect for a pre-meet.

I will be there at 6:00 PM myself and anyone / everyone else is welcome to join me there. The meet starts at 7:00 PM and I plan on leaving for the meet at about 6:30 PM.

If anyone wants to let me know they’re coming, that would be great.

PLEASE READ: Mohegan will be running shuttles to and from the casino for us between 7PM and 1AM, every 15 minutes. There will also be security on site to make sure our cars are safe for the night. There are fees to cover these services, so we're asking for a 3$ donation per car to cover these costs and make sure we can do this in the future. We were not planning on charging any money for this event, but the reality of the amount of people and venue made it necessary. For anyone who donates 5$, we will give you a Six Speed Mafia vinyl in your choice of white, silver, or black. (we're selling them for 5$ on Saturday, so it's our way of giving everyone a deal.) We hope this does not deter anyone from coming, hope to see you all on Saturday.

[reflex2o3]

Only 3 frs brz going?

[Clembo]

Not sure how many will be meeting at Home Depot first. I'm not keeping track. I live close by so figured I'd mention it as a meeting place for those who wanted to as I'm going to be there anyway. I know others are coming later so they won't be there when we are.

@Clembo call me when you get there. I will be there about 2pm

Will do. I'm home all day, if you want to meet earlier, give me a call. I'll probably just be screwing around in the garage!
