Wish I could, however the roads are so bad around here I don't even like to take my "winter beater" out . Posted on another forum, at 1:00 there is going to be some sort of meet at Captree, looks to be mostly imports.

After hearing that the whole front plate thing wasn't an issue there last week, I would probably have considered it if the roads weren't such a complete mess. They were starting to clear up a bit but the storm we had Tuesday night turned them in to a sand pit again.
Oh well! At least I got the car out to stretch it's legs a little last Monday when it was in the mid fifties.

I would say yes, but Captree will be wrapping up by the time you get down there.

Once you get past about 10:30am, it slowly starts to clear out. I haven't been out there in ages because I can't get my butt out of bed early enough to make it there.

I don't have an address. I just get on the Ocean Parkway and head east. When you run out of parkway, you are there. Its in a little park type area that is on the water. There is a big dock and tons of parking.

During the summer, it used to move further west and it was in a parking lot on the south side of Ocean Parkway. I usually just look for the big group of cars.

I heard someone crashed on the entrance to the Robert Moses as you enter off of southern state heading south, silver C6. That spot is BS, I must have see 20 crashes there, it's got to do with the banking and road surface, and they just lose control and hit the guard rail anytime it's wet. You think the state would do something after changing the guard rail 20 times

Yup I saw it. Hope everyone is okay. Looks like he came around the entrance ramp from the Southern State a little too fast and lost it. Just guessing though. There was debris all around the center guard rail. Really wasn't a nice morning with all the wet roadways so I left the Vette home. Hope everyone is okay
