Jump off at exit 4 (West Springfield), get on 91 South, take exit 4 to the parking lot.

I see the Bro's and Biscuit are on the AKA as well as Dan and Tony in the RX-8. Oh well, 15 minutes of fame means more to some than others. SPEED TV, damn. We need that type of hook-up. Time to consult the rolodex.

I understand why they are pulling out. It's all good with me. I do understand your point of view as well. Oh well... We will still have a blast.

Time to consult the rolodex. I'm psyched for Chris and the AKA. They are coming a long way. I hope this works out well for him. To be honest, I don't really care about that type of publicity. I like the runs being low key and personal. Although I'm sure the $ involved would be nice. lol

>:(Hey Bro.. you know how long we have been talking..well the Bros /Raggs and myself were all going to do NER and then AKA together..But money got tight and Pat got sick so no big deal .. But now no NER and they can make the AKA ..I hadn't made any new friends in 15/20 years and thought what the F*** ill give it a try NOW I SEE WHY PEOPLE JUST DON"T DO WHAT THEY SAY TALK IS CHEAP!! I told you i was trying to do aka also but i didn't want to borrow the money and could not get any sponsors..Chirs tried to work with me but we couldn't make it happen ..SO no biggie. But I'm not pulling out of the NER!!! Bottom line is people SUCK!!!! NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE ON THIS FORUM..AKA sounds like a good event as does NER but with assholes like the BROS and RAGGS in it I could never do it without KICKING SOMEONE'S BUTT!!! I do rallies because i love to drive don't care who is in them or if there on tv..

PUNISHER, I wondered what had happened to them (The Bro's), they just kind of dropped off the boards all of a sudden after being so gung-ho about it. I agree that it wasn't fair they burned you the way they did. It doesn't cost much for a phone call, especially since I believe they got you involved in this one. NO matter though, I'm sure you'll still have a good time here. I'm looking forward to driving with you. Also, I'd rather not have someone from the company that insures my car see what I do on nation wide TV : )
P.S. I'd have a real hard time putting Donald Trump's sticker on my car anyway,unless I could velcro a flying hairpiece to the roof : )

well after looking at the time/distance to go to the hall of fame, and then to the start at tire warehouse, it looks like it would be smarter for me to just head straight to the start. I'd love to meet uo with everyone before and cruise to the start, but i dont want to go way out of the way. I'll be saving myself the extra hour and a half drive.
From RI to the basketball hall of fame = 2 hrs From RI to the Tire Warehouse in Orange = 2 hrs 6 mins
