I never saw such a large turnout at captree. Their was a 1/2 mile back up waiting to get in. Lots of C6's there as usual.

It was packed. And the amazing thing to me, everyone is just smiling, talking, having a great time....no matter they drive. You see owners of Mustangs, Vipers, Vettes, Lambos, Ferarris, old rusty things that only their owners know what they are....all hanging with each other just admiring and talk about everyone's ride. It's great to live close enough to come.

And Hoffie.....You're car look samazing with the new kit on it. I want one!!!

This was the best Captree day yet! I spent about two hours at the entrance just checking out all the amazing cars as they pulled in. I saw a lot of cars today that I've never seen before.
Now if we could just do something about that coffee line............

Sundays 7am - Noon

Link to state park

http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=151

Best way to go is to take the belt pkwy east to the sourthern state pkwy (belt turns into the sourthern state just keep left), take it out to the wantagh pkwy exit 27S. Take it to the end and continue around the traffic circle taking ocean pkwy east (may also have signs to robert moses and captree). Take ocean pkwy east to the end, go through the ticket booth and turn left into the main parking area

Great turn out today, counted over several hundred cars parked in the parking lots.The line coming in was over a 30 minute wait at times.
Hoffie your car looks amazing and your causing some trouble in the old homestead. My wife wants me to limit my exposure to your car and Craigs . She wasn't buying the quote " his wife loves it and has no problems with all the mods on it and even encourages it!!!!".
Great Day and see ya guys next week.

Sorry dude,I tried to make it seem like all the wives loved it when we get our cars modded.Some of our wives never notice the new mods.I think mine started to know after I installed the Cam.I kept setting off her car alarm everytime I started it.
