Hi guys.. Anyone in the New England area.. actually anyone willing to make the trip, this is open to all.

Being part of a Bonneville forum for some time, it was noticed that most forums don't have enough meets. This coming spring/summer another meet is scheduled. While it's currently called NorthEast Bonneville Fest, the theme has been changing and it is evolving into more of a big meet for all that are on forums where the Bonne may be found.

Dates are in June and there will be camping/hotel info posted with more activities etc as they are determined, including a day at the track.

In the past this meet grew, 1st time 10 cars, 2nd time 16 cars, 3rd ..21 cars.. and I believe this past fall there were 25 cars (one was a black Riv ...oldsman). Friends come from all over, Florida/Canada and as far as Arizona. Please consider yourselves all invited.

More details to come.

Dave...I drove through your neck of the woods in Aug 06 on my way to Oregon for a meet. It's not too far...

Except I'm pretty much limited to one long trip like this, and not annually even. Hard to justify the expense with a young family. If I could, I'd travel to the BPG nationals in OH every August. Drove my 68 GS 2000 miles there and back in 2004, and should make it back in 2008 to Columbus this time. I'd love to make a couple trips every year, but it just isn't going to happen. But I AMhoping several of our OH area members will drive their Rivs to Columbus next year. If my 68 isn't ready for the trip(got some maintenance to do) I will drive the Riv instead, and get it down the strip a few times.

I live in Grafton, MA but I know how long of a drive it is to Six Flags in Agawam. Google Map says 1hr and 16 mins. Not bad but it would be better if it was in Woodstock,CT. That's like a half hour from me.

I don't think I'll make it but thank's for the offer.

Even though our Buicks last forever I don't like to be too far away from home base if something were to go wrong. Like what happened to me and my brakes in Oct. $700 later. And I was only in Rhode Island.

What were the dates again? Summer, right.

Hmmm, we'll see. If I can contact some local Rivi's around here I might be able to start a caravan of Rivs.

They've been popping up a lot recently since the Racera got it's new paint.

For some reason I just saw this thread... I'm just north of Boston where I93 crosses I95 and my garage is open most weekends. I'll help anybody with anything... I have all the tools, a PowerTunr and a pulley puller to boot. I love fixing brakes and other menial crap that some places charge a fortune for but I'll help out with darn near anything. My preference is to mentor people to do the work themselves and I'll just guide...

Tomorrow night (1/18/08) I will be installing the transmission in my car but I already have a big crew of people coming over to 'help'.

Not exactly CT but not too far away either. I've been down to a few meets in CT, a few years back Intense actually came out to a meet with ConnClubGP for an Intense Mod Day which was a lot of fun. Everybody from Intense came out with a huge trailerload of goodies and they must have installed like 8 sets of rockers and a jillion other things that day. It was a 2 hr drive for me to get there but so good to meet all those guys.

Anyway, I also forumize at www.nepontiac.org, it's our home stomping ground. Lots of good local people there.
