"Live" from the Combo in the Hills 2 @ Numidia Dragway!

BKSG1198 · 06-07-2012, 07:40 AM

Well we are not exactly live yet but, I figured I'd get the post started for Brian & Lee. We should be rolling out of Vineland, NJ in about an hour or so for the 3 1/2 hour trip up to Numidia (With a stop in Easton to switch trucks & get lunch) and be at the track around 2pm. I have my laptop & camera so I will post pics or give my card to Tom Goldman to post the pics up on here.

Look forward to a great race, hope to see a lot of you there! Gates are open from 5pm to 10pm tonight and re-open at 8am tomorrow morning!

Hoping to make it, any advise on where to get diesel coming from 84/81/80 ?

And should I come across rt 11 or go a little farther west on 80 and come down 42/487 ?

Thanks, Dave

Going to Numidia we normally take I-80 to the Buckhorn Exit 232 and then go 42/487. Rt 11 works too but there are a lot of stop lights going through Bloomsburg. As for fuel there's a Love's on I-80 Exit 242 and another big station across the street from the Love's that's good for trailers. For cheaper fuel, there's an exit on I-84 that skims through New Jersey (think it's exit 1 Montague), there's a couple of big stations there but sometimes it gets a little busy at this exit.

Thanks Katie, I was considering that exit 1 stop at the edge of NJ, but ,I too have seen it too busy to get in and out of easily.Their current price is 3.79-diesel I will probably try your other suggestions depending on time frame. Any other suggestions appreciated.

Hate that I won't be able to make it this year, due to several issues and schedule changes, but I wish y'all the very best for another excellent event! Hope the locals turn out, and I look forward to better circumstances to allow me to make it to the 3rd Annual.

We should be rolling in around 1pm or so tomorrow afternoon. See you then.

Just loaded my firebird and Bryan's camero be there Friday about noon.

Dave, I filled up at the 242 exit. Like Katie said the gas station across from the Love's was very easy for 68' . The only problem the ramp to get back on 80 west is closed. Follow the detour signs to get back on 80 west to exit 232. Do not take 11. I followed my garmin, I was on a hill doing 15 mph. Wasn't fun. Should have taken rt 80 like I was planning.
Everyone have a safe trip. Blue skies over Numidia

Sunny and 55 deg. in East Berlin Pa, south central part of the state, ready to pull out at 7:30 should be at Numidia a bit after 10 am. Have been looking forward to this race for quite awhile. See everyone soon! Have a safe trip!
