Can you imagine a couple dozen Vettes showing up at one of those meets ?
Still is the Somerville Circle, just more dangerous than it used to be before they "Fixed" it.

Also probably should ask if there are any meets already scheduled ?

Are there?
Who cares if theres other meets... never too many!
not far from TR is Ocean County Park I went to a meet there once, not bad... grills to bbq and all. not great roads if your thinking a cruise though! Im sure theres plenty more, possibly better places... im open to whatever

Another transplanted NYer. Though I've never lived in one of those exit towns. Northwest corner of the state in Sussex county. Nothin but hills and curves up this way. Great in the vette or on one of the bikes.

My house is right off campus of Rowan University in Glassboro.

Either exit 2 or 3 of NJTP will get you here.

Former member Supercharger John used to organize an annual bar-b-que in the Ocean County Park, located between Bicktown and Lakewood NJ. right off of rt88 2-3 miles from the GSP exit 91. We used to have a blast, everyone would just bring anything they wanted. He would reserve a picnic area (free) and we would have access to 3-4 grills. I donated burgers and was a volunteer cook, it was a blast. It was a lot of fun. The location is easy to get to, central to all of Jersey, very big park/picnic area, lots of parking, the lots and roads are vette frendily. It used to part of John D. Rockefellers vacation estate, check it out www.oceancountypark.com

Default Info on Ocean County park

this is the website: http://www.ocean.nj.us/parks/ocp.html


Only 25 bucks but have to reserve at least 2 weeks in advance.

I'll call next week to see whats available.

Please post your opinions about using this place, if available.

Harold's is great idea if you like deli, but lunch time its packed.

There is also the NY Deli on route one by the Quakerbridge Mall.

Well I said I would keep count, so here it is:


A lot of us.........

Ideas so far:

Asbury Park beach area
Ocean county Park
Harold's Deli

what have I missed
