If you live in the PA, NJ, DE, NY etc area and don't want to join the cruise (or want to set up your own), just meet at Tony Luke's around 2:00pm.
Website: Tony Luke's. There is an outside restaurant where you order from a window, or there is a sit-down restaurant with servers. I recommend the outside restaurant. There is lots of parking next to the sit-down restaurant.


DISCLAIMERS
*Burnouts, loud music, and/or any kind of disruptive behavior in the parking lot will not be tolerated. Tony Luke's is cool with us being there but we don't want to be asked to leave. Just act civilized.*
** If you don’t have Easy Pass, catch up to the group later or just run through the toll and pay the fine (it’s like $20). We can’t wait for you on the side of the highway.**
***Please print your own directions (even if you have GPS!). We can’t, and won’t, be held responsible if you can’t keep up with the group or if you get lost.***
****Please drive responsibly. The food will be just as tasty regardless of how fast you get up there.***

That's what some people do just so they don't have to wait in line at the toll. You never know how crowded it might be. I have EZ Pass so I don't have to worry about it.

[OneFitWonder]

I get my real philly cheese steaks at Captain Harvey's in Dundalk

AHH Don't ban me!

[FitVic]

so if your running through and taking the $20 hit do you just drive through the easy pass spots?? I'm assuming you are. I am considering this since i know a few people are going around my area.

Yes, you just drive through the EZ Pass lane and they send It's either $20 or $25 for the "administrative fee" and then whatever the actual toll cost is. You'll be sent a Violation Notice in the mail.

It all depends on if you want to wait for the toll and try to catch up. Most of the baller Porsche and Mercedes drivers are just running the toll. I have an EZ Pass. But since this event is a little ways away...you still have enough time to order an EZ Pass if you want.

[FitVic]

Got a link on where to get one? I gotta figure out which one is worth it lmao this would be a 1 time thing for me so gotta budget right

nah man i stay in local areas here. I dont really ever go through tolls at all man. now that i think about it i've only gone through 1 toll in my whole driving career lol

[isthata_scion]

lol same here. only when i go to the beach.

[kancerr]

i think i may go. wont know til the date is coming up tho. philly cheesesteak from philly sounds good. haha they do have easy pass/cash lanes. if they are open, if we all try to get in line with that lane, keep our cash guys a few cars back from the easy pass drivers with us. people shouldnt have a hard time getting through and catching up by paying cash. you can only go through the ezpass at like 10 mph anyways. just make sure you have exact money with you so you dont have to wait for change.


i should have my ez pass with me tho as long as i dont forget to bring it, doesnt stay in the car.

[isthata_scion]

lmao david wont show up for local shit but he'll go to PA for a cheesesteak haha

[kancerr]

lol i try to make it to the other ones but something always comes up. only made it out to that one meet so far. im not going to this one if im the only fit going.

You're not the only fit. I'm going, and there appears to be a few people from here going as well. You should come anyway though.

[FitVic]

True that. Imma roll with either you guys if you go or my boy with his Audi RS6

Small world. His car is sick, I haven't had the chance to get any rolling shots of it yet but I have a few pics from meets. Your car is pretty nice though, I'd like to see it in person.
