Doesn't matter which track, it's always a long ride from Western NY...we're planning on making the trip.

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Taking to ferry over to conneticut.. ..OUCH..But it beats driving from Long Island

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Off to Columbus.... a tad bit closer for some PA racers.

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

It's not the drive up to Epping ,It's the drive home on Sunday !
Usually 6 1/2 hrs up and 8 1/2- 9 hours home!

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Anyone ever try going the Tappan Zee to 684 N, 84 E, 90 E, 495 N, 95 N route? I prefer it over 95 which always has alot of traffic and seems to be under construction perpetually. Just a thought. See ya there.

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

That's the way I went going up for the National .
Altho getting off I 495 at exit 51B for Rt 125 ,I think is better than using 95.
It's the best way I've gone so far and I was recommended by the Sawyers ,who probably have made that trip a thousand times !
My neighbor, who runs a truck route across the Tappan Zee did say that the bridge was only open on three lanes since the piling test bore construction started on the 15th.

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Kent Hanley suggested we take 287 to 87N to 84E. prolly 20 miles farther than tappan zee/ 684, but waaaay less traffic. Works well for us. :)

Whatever ya do...don't forget the iced tea....ya gonna need it!

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Anybody know if Larry's clam bar is still open on the way to Epping and what RT. it is on.
Thanks Rich

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Larry's is still open and located on Rt 125 off of Rt 495 in in Plaistow NH

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Gary and I will be there. With weather in the 90's what will DeMarzo do for a KLONDIKE BAR !!! Barry

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

I'll be at a divisional race 3,100 miles away. We're out in Cali next week visiting my girlfriend's parents but since I have Friday off from work I'm going out before her and will spectate at Sonoma on Saturday. I look forward to finally seeing some racing on the Left Coast.

Shawn try RT 290. Run 84 to the end it will put you on 90 (mass pike) take 290 east Auburn/Worcester exit. Run 290 to the end and follow signs to 495 north. Route 125 (exit 51B) is 11 miles shorter than 95, but there is fourteen traffic lights. On a good day you can go .75 percent on green lights. 95 will have alot of beach traffic I would try your luck with 125. If you go 125 look for the signs for Rockingham Prison it will be a right hand turn right before a old white church this road will lead you right to the track. Hope this helps.

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

When I went up for the nationals. I hit a 27 mile backup on 95 N that started as soon as I entered Connecticut. Anyone know if that construction is still there?

Jim

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Mr Gray is right that is the shortest route. The Rd for the Prison is North Rd. You want to take that right. It's about 2 miles long and will dump you out right at the track.

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

I would avoid 95 at any cost. That way just Sux.

Good Luck Barry.......... alias High Flying.

Wheres the other udder. lol

DO GOOD....

Where do you pick up rt. 290 at ??
thanks

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Thanks Pete will we see you there. It's only a short ride from NJ. Barry

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Hey Barry. Is this the weekend I get to take over the controls of the Vette?

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

The benefits of taking Rt 125 Plaistow to New England Dragway are,
Plenty of fuel stops for Big Rigs to get in and out of, Haffner's has a tall car wash for trucks and Jack Haffners Deli next door (Killer Subs and sandwiches + an ASRA Sponsor) Plaistow has a Market Basket grocery store, and the New Hampshire state Liquor store next door. There's a Wal-Mart further up on the left plaza, and a Super Wal-Mart further up Rt125 at the junction of Rt 101 as well.

Lastly my favorite, there's 4 Dunkin Donuts stores on both sides of Rt 125 for those who like coffee +(The DD @ the Irving Gas station is the easiest to get in & out of!

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Highly Unlikely this year Mr. Parker, maybe next year.

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Diesel $3.69 at the car wash joint along with dunkin' donuts ....

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

c11 only by the can at the track. $16.20 per gallon!

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

wow .........

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

That Irving station on Rt.125 north in Plaistow is the one "Szupy" wanted to stop at!
Looks like u guys got up there bright & early

Re: Check in for Epping Lucas race
 

Greg - You're so right - thats the one Soupy and I stopped at this morning .....BTW - If we have a RV Air Conditioning tech in the house Soupys' AC crapped out this morning and is in need of some help .......Not a nice day to have that happen .
