Was about 30 folks last year, and will be that and more this year. Good chance to sit around the BBQ with the entire Upstate NY crowd, and talk about EVERYTHING during the course of the day.

We'll have about 5 cars rolling out from Utica-Rome in the morning, to meet up with the Syracuse convoy at 9:15am on the Thruway. We'll plan on leaving the Casino exit (33) by 8am.



ALSO...
ESTA Test-N-Tune this Sunday (they aren't running points brackets, to give folks a chance to go see the NHRA in E-town, NJ)
We're planning on doing some street-tire passes with the turbo Regal, hoping that keeps it out of cage territory for another day, until he get's some M/T radials for street/strip.

Bumping this back up, since I haven't seen any activity from this site all summer.

We've been fairly active in the UNYCGP group, with a few people doing some 11 & 12sec builds, and alot of newer folks getting some good basics for a little extra pep over stock.

Drove out to Thompson a bunch of times randomly this summer, usually with Sam from Utica, in his black turbo '04 Regal we built. Became fairly good buddies with some of that group, and they even head into Utica on Wednesday night for cruising/racing once in a while.

There's always more people coming up to us at the track, and emailing me randomly for tuning/etc... so I know there's a good amount of active folks around here, just need to arrange more local events, I guess.

The UNYCGP picnic in June was great, BTW. Had about 25 or so cars, plus some LSx cars with former GP'ers. A few of had us hit up the last few track TestNTunes before they closed ESTA and NYIRP last week, as well.

For anyone in the area, there's a Post-Holiday meet planned for Jan 16th (Sat) at the Syracuse Quaker Steak & Lube at 5pm.


You can log on the UNYCGP to read details. All are invited, so great chance to get introduced to other active GP/3800 folks if you haven't already.

That location gives a chance to involve karting as well, if interest exists (not mandatory to ride if you come along after dinner). Canastota Kart is where we may round-out the evening. Attendees to the dinner can decide if this event will be part of the meet after we're done eating/chatting for a couple of hours.




There are already folks from Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, and Rome planning to attend, and have a good time eating & chatting about 3800's & anything else random. Hope a few folks in here that didn't know about it, can make time to attend also.
