Pa meet?

[$ub$onic]

HEADS UP!





I propose a mid-morning meeting on July 20th @ Knoebels Amusement Park (391 Knoebels Blvd. Elysburg, PA 17824).



I am contacting the park info center now to see if there would be any problem with us parking in a group at the south end of their lot and gathering in one of the nearby pavilions.



I will post updates, a map, and any other details when I know it's feasable.

There is a convoy meeting place where I-80 meets RT42 less than a 1/2 hour from the park. If you want to roll in together meet me at the end of the Buckhorn Plaza Walmart parking lot (100 Lunger Drive Bloomsburg, PA).

We'll roll out just after 9:30am and head to the park (391 Knoebels Blvd Elysburg, PA). We should be in and finding a place to park the Sonics by 10am. Those pavilions are booked every weekend through the summer so I suggest we bring some fold up chairs and hang in the Picnic Grove.



I know PA has a ton of Sonics...

I will be back in the state then, but there's a weekend late June where I'll be busy. Let me look it up...ah there it is, June 22-23. Does it have to be the geographic middle of the state though? I'd say you'd want the mean center of mass, what's the fewest possible car-miles total to get everyone to the same spot? OK that's ridiculous, so... Breezewood? Seems like that's about halfway down the turnpike, and also about halfway from north to south, equally inconvenient for everyone.

Hmm according to some sources on the web:

The geographic center of Pennsylvania is located in Centre County, 2.5 miles southwest of Bellefonte.
Longitude: 77° 44.8'W
Latitude: 40° 53.8'N

Doesn't sound very convenient though.

Lol, that's funny! When I say center of the state I mean in the middle area.

And that would seem like a good area to start looking at

Beaver Springs Dragway

1/4 Mile
IHRA
Div. 3

Looks like the track closest to "middle of the state"... and it looks like they have Friday Night Street racing, not quite clear on the details.

That's a idea!

[$ub$onic]

Ok.


So need more people to try and get on board with this

 

[DD2012sonicLT]

i put a post of a sonic page on facebook. i met a few guys on there and told them to come on here and put in their ideas.

 

[$ub$onic]

I saw that, thank you!

I live 15 minutes from beaver springs drag. It's an idea. But certainly be patient. It's very busy. Very. There is a marina park with picnic tables, grills, water front, restrooms. It's located in Sunbury PA. You can also meet at knoebals. Free admission. BBq. Family oriented. Rides and stuff. That's what I think of right now. They are within a few
Minutes of me but I'm also ok for some traveling

 

[$ub$onic]

I like the BBQ idea. Get everyone together and have some good food and bs about stuff

 

[bergeron007]

Yea. Knoebals allows for cooks out. I can get further details this weekend. Also if anyone has kids it allows them to ride rides it's a big Amusement park. Lots of roller coasters. You just pay per ride no admission. So even just walking around. Lounging. Tons of motorcycle clubs meet there through out the summer.

 

[bergeron007]

Most excited to hear someone's exhaust haha

 

[$ub$onic]

Ya my wife wont be happy with a couple hour long trip with a loud exhaust. She will live though

 

[DD2012sonicLT]

Knoebals works for me. i like that idea.

 

[$ub$onic]

What date should we shoot for

 

[$ub$onic]

I'm not good for June 16 or July 12

 

[bergeron007]

June 16th should work out I think

 

[$ub$onic]

I am NOT good them dates. June 16 is my anniversary. My wife would kill me

 

[Swordsmith]

I concur Knoebels is a nice spot, you spend as much or as little as you want on rides, instead of the massive entrance price where you feel ripped off when wife doesn't ride coasters or kids only ride the little teacups or something. Reasonably center state, too.
