JULY Meet, Hagerstown/Frederick?

Hay all, we have been all over the state and going to PA in May, we have folks up in Western Md, how about we plan our JULY Meet for that area.
You folks up there give us some Ideas of what we can plan for your area for JULY.

I’d like to throw a couple of ideas around. The first is the Frederick airport Open House on June 7. http://www.aopa.org/special/fly-in/index.html It’s not an air show, but a big fly in. Lots of new business jets and props will be there along with a big manufacturer’s tent. There was a corvette club on the ramp a couple of years ago, so I know they allow cars to participate. This is a big city sponsored event with maybe 5 thousand people walking around. It’s actually pretty cool.

The positives: great exposure for the club and on-site entertainment (food & drinks). Plus it’s right on I-70. Negatives: I think you’re supposed to stay put once you get parked on the ramp. Also, some people may want a more low key event.

The second is Antietam Battlefield park. http://www.nps.gov/anti/. It cost $4.00 to get in but there is a lot to see and do. June 14th is “Artillery Weekend” whatever the heck that is. It’s close to the river and there could be a nice cruise along the back roads if you wanted.

Both place are kid friendly and have some cool photo ops. Just my two cents. See ya Saturday.

Those ideas sound pretty cool. Ed once a couple more come in a poll is in order.

Ya, I like those idea's, I didn't put up a pole yet, cause I didn't know what to put up, so once we get a couple more idea's I'll put up a pole.

We could always go to Cunningham Falls park for a day at the lake and a BBQ...

Come on Ed, are you raising a flag?


POLL

Oops, my last post was for JUNE. I thought you were talking about having the meeting in June (doh!). Anyway...

The NOVA Mustang club is having their drag day at the Mason Dixon Dragway on the 26th. I think it's pretty expensive to race tho.

And Frederick has a baseball team that plays in a really nice stadium. And it's right off of I-70 & 270. They may let us have a promotion or a special parking area. http://www.frederickkeys.com/sked-promo.php

I'll look around to see if there's anything else car related happening out this way.

If any of the local guys knows how to get to these we can maybe look at swinging by as a club after dinner/park or whatever you guys decide on...

July we should do CJ's CA Day for our meet. It's a huge event and car show...FREE FOOD and it's just an overall good time. Plus you can buy stuff in the store and they give tours all day long there too.

Food for thought~

Well I plan on doing the CJ CAD but I think we need a meet in Frederick also.

we just did a cj meet... we don't need to do another one so soon as the MEET...come on you westerners give a good spot to cruise up and meet ya'll

How about Gambrills state park or Harpers Ferry?

all sounds good.....ima try to make this one. hopefully car will be claybarred in time too.

i vote for w.e we do that its b4 or after july19th weekend.

For July, please try to avoid a club event on the July 26 drag day event at Mason Dixon (NVMC).

Note in Carroll County, we have a large cruise-in EVERY Saturday. On the first and third Saturdays, it's the Jimmy Cone in Mt. Airy. On the second and fourth Saturdays, it's the Home Depot in Eldersburg. The latter might be more interesting as there are more places to eat (Mt. Airy has surprisingly little except fast food). I usually hit one of each every month of the car season.

How about this - July 26th is the 'Northern Virginia Mustang Club Drag Day' at the Mason Dixon dragstrip. It's 60 miles west of Security Mall, straight down I-70.

Down the road from Mason Dixon (15 minute drive west) is a big car show in Williamsport. Why don't we meet at the dragstrip for a mid morning meeting, and then the people who want to stay and race can race, and the people who want to caravan over to the show, can leave around noon.
Here is a link to the car show, http://www.carshowlink.com/July.html ,scroll to the bottom of the page, it's called the Autorama Cruise in

Entry fee for spectaters at the drag strip is $10 I think, and the car show is $3 (and a can of tuna fish, it's for charity).

Also, the peeps heading back to Balt. can swing by the Mt. Airy and Eldersburg cruise ins later that day, as they are very close to I-70.

Interesting. Is that stangs only?

No, all makes and models, although you see a lot of 1st gen Camaros and Chevelles. For the longest time, it was mostly American muscle and antiques, but this year we're seeing some foreign customs, low riders. It's all good.

This weekend is the fifth weekend of the month, which generally results in confusion and folks heading to one or the other site, since there isn't an agreement for those odd 5 weekend months...

Junes meet is history, who is running point on Julys meet, any date/location finalized yet ????

Here's a link to the Jimmy Cone event from Saturday 6-21-2008. I kind of focused on the Mustangs that were there, but it's a pretty busy event:

You should see Suzanne's ride with Bernie poking his head around the car.

Im open to whatever, but July 12th is no good for me, thats when Nates-95-50 joins my family( george that means wedding). So keep bringing in more good ideas.

The 12th is also no good for me as it is my girlfriend's graduation party

July is mostly no go for me anyhow--car show on the 5th, vacation on the 12th, track rental on the 26th...

12th in the evening may work, better yet the 26th : )

OK I say we make it on the 26th, if its in the after noon the drag folks can come after the track, and I had an idea, lets go to Barbara Fritchies Candy Cane Restaurant, it been there for ever, and its kinda neet

Its just north of Frederick, so its close to the Hegerstown folks, rite there for the Frederick crew, and not far for the MoCo folks.

THIS ONES UP IN THE AIR FOR US, DEPENDS ON HOW THE MONTH SHAKES OUT
