Hey Guys,

It's thread #2, because I started the same thread over on 6club a couple weeks ago in the hopes of getting some local speed6 meets together up in the Boston area. I know of several MS6's in the Greater Boston area, and wanted to get some local, regular meets going, especially since the summer is upon us. I wanted to extend the invitation over here to you nice folks as well :). Sorry I missed you guys on the Spring Cleaning meet on the Cape, but my car is kinda struggling due to a bad vacuum leak. She'll be up and running and tuned by this Thursday.

So, we're trying to hammer out a schedule and so far, and it looks like most people can do either Friday or Sat, so I was tossing out a tentative Friday, May 28th. It may be a little short on notice, and I'm willing to meet up on Sat, May 29th as well, but I'd prefer one day if possible ;).

We are going to have the meet at Wollaston Beach, in Quincy. There's a lot of parking along the beach, however, we'll have to get their early either day (especially on Sat) if we want to be able to park next to one another (or near one another for that matter, lol). Here's a couple of pics of Wollaston Beach in case you are unfamiliar:

You can see there's a bunch of parking beyond the second pier in the second photo there. There is also a couple restaurants across the street where you can grab some grub or a couple beers. It's also right on the beach (duh), which is pretty cool, and although it's "not legal" to drink on the beach, I've been known to sneak myself some rum and cokes (or whatever you like) in plastic cups on the beach. Let me know if you're interested, and if you can make it. Mad props goes to anyone with one of those giant beach tents canopies you can set into the sand. Either way, with some sunscreen, cold drinks and good grub and beers across the street from the beach, it should make for a great time. We already got a half dozen MS6'ers together rearing to go. We gotta stick together as we're a dying breed, lol.

All are welcome, so let us know if you can make it :).

Thanks all!

Ah, thanks Josh! I wasn't trying to compete for fellow Speed6'ers here by any means, lol ;). Dumb question, but isn't that meet on Memorial Day weekend actually in Ohio? I would imagine many wouldn't be up for such a long haul. This why I wanted to get some smaller local meets going up in the Boston area. I know quite a few fellow speed6'ers up in the Boston area, and many can't make the long trips. Just so folks have other options as well :).

Also, this morning on the way to work my gf clued me into the fact that May 28th/29th is also Memorial Day weekend (duh), and many people will be away anyways... doh! I was tired and not thinking, and I also didn't realize about the other meet. Thanks for cluing me in on that. Gonna see what the guys say and maybe bump it to the following weekend, June 4th/5th. I'll only be able to do one day the following weekend, but not biggie. Wait, now I see the OCC meet is that weekend. You're hogging up all the weekends with all those out of town meets!! LOL. Some of us can only meet up for a couple hours or half day depending on our schedules, but if a Boston meet is only a 20 mile trip or less for people up here, at least we can get together local and meet up for awhile at least. It's better than having no local meet if people can't make out of state weekend trips. You know what I mean? I was not trying to step on any toes by any means, and started the thread on 6club, but wanted to extend the invite over here as well.

I bummed out I missed the Spring Cleaning Meet this weekend :(. It sounds like you guys had a great time! I hate when my car is out of commission like this. I have a lot of fun ripping around in my car, and having to granny it in CL sucks. I really hope I can get the new TIP by Weds, and get it swapped out on Thursday.
 
It's cool, just letting ya' know about the thread. We always have impromptu meets. Like small dinner meets and such around the Boston area. Usually those are posted in the BS thread.
 
Lime Rock park is in CT... not Ohio.

Oh, lol. At least I was close, haha.

I appreciate the heads up Josh, and I'll definitely keep that in mind in the future. Being a NEPOC n00b, I didn't realize about the impromptu meets around Boston, that's really cool. And I woudn't have thought to look in the BS thread, so thanks for the heads up on that as well :). I don't know what's wrong with some us MS6'ers, but everyone seems to need a good heads up even for just Boston meets, lol.
 
Hey guys,

It looks like we have 8 of us MS3/6'ers getting together a week from Fri/Sat the 28th/29th. I'm just waiting to double check on people's schedules here to confirm the which days people are coming and hammer out a time to meet. This is who we have so far:

xsilent13x .........Friday after 4pm/anytime on Sat
Flightmedic:.......Friday anytime/Possibly Sat for a while
Carlson: ...........Friday (with advance notice... this is your notice, lol)
Kalte: ............ .Satuarday (or after work Frid 6/7pm but that's a late start?)
EMS: ...............Friday or Sat (w/ a schedule shift)
Hockey Guy: .....Saturday only (bc of work)
Ben: ................Sat? You told me in a PM or another thread that I can't find
Dougefresh: .......Fri/Sat is fine (would prefer one day, but will come to both since not evreryone can make it on just one day)

I wanted to give you nice NEPOC folks an update of what's going on. I know many of you are heading to CT this weekend, but for those of you who can't make that trip, or can only meet for a few hours locally on Friday/Sat, come join us. I already know a few of these clowns personally, and I look forward to meeting the rest on the 28th/29th. I'm sure it will be a good time. For those of you heading to CT, have a great time!!

Thanks-

MS6 only?

No, ALL are welcome... especially speeds ;) That way we can discuss all the bs problems we have to deal with, lol. You're more than welcome to join us... please do! :). We already got a good group (albeit small) of people already. I've met half of them and hung out a few times. Really cool dudes. You should come!
 
Well I got a 2010 so not much BS.....yet. But I might want to tag along depending on the times. My schedule isn't bad: Friday after 4pm or Saturday anytime.

lol, that's cool. We haven't hammered out the times yet over on 6club, but I'm working at it. Hopefully we'll know for sure in the next 2 days. I'll be there both days, and EMS may as well as we are close by. So Sat should definitely work, but maybe Friday too depending on these guys' schedules. Once I start to hear back more, I'll update this post. The Boston thread on 6club.com is in the Newbie Section if you want to check it out... "Boston Area MS6 Owner's Thread" or something like that (I don't think 247 lets you link to other forums). Don't sweat having the MS3 either... I just started to organize the speed folks over the the 6club forum, and thus, all MS6's so far :). And anyone is welcome. I'm glad you're interested to joining us. It should be fun!

EDIT: Added you on to the above posted names/schedules :)

BUMP for an update. For those of you who can't make the CT meet this coming weekend, we got a solid meet this coming Sat, May 29th at Wollaston beach in Quincy, MA (~4 miles south of Boston). We already have a great group of really cool dudes coming, and it should be a great time. It's only about 8 of us so far, but I know we'll have a blast. If you're interested, please post in here, and I'll check it daily this week to answer q's, give directions, details, etc... We're looking to meet up around Noon on Sat.

Carlson can't make it Sat, but can do earlier on Friday May 28th (has to be at work at 3pm), and I'm meeting up with him regardless, so if you can only do Friday, and want to meet up for awhile, that would be great!

All are more than welcome, and we'd love to have more join if you can't make the CT meet. Thanks again for your interest-

Gonna bring Goggles with me....I'm not sure if he is bringing his 3....I think he had to do some wheel bearing work. I'll let you know if he is bringing his car otherwise he'll ride with me.

The more the merrier. I don't know who Goggles is yet, but I'm pretty new to the Nepoc section here. Thanks for the update :)
 
Does Rhode Island count? I've seen 1 so far, and know of 2 more...so this state is pretty much dead for speeds.

I needz to get Saturdays off soon. Monday off FTL.

Of course! I was just putting some local Boston meets together as there are a bunch of us around Boston, but some of us have a hard time making meets that are far away. You're more than welcome to come Mr. Moose!

No doubt dude I'll keep an eye out for this, you guys heading down to OCC?
