Asylum 07' | The East Coast's Big Entrance!

[Stu_Gotti]

I'm thinking we should try and organize an East Coast Run to Asylum... Chapters all along the East coast would merge onto a centralized location further West... We would set a time and location, and because the unknowns associated with a long distance trip like this, we would give a window for the chapters individual caravans to reach the location. Once we all got to the location we would organize and move out.

Individual chapters need to organize their own meeting spots prior to their own departure. Be sure to take in account other chapters departure times, by doing this we will ensure that we all reach the location chosen around the same time.

Lodging. Is this going to be an issue? I dont know about the entire club, but I know my vehicle will have at least one co-pilot. Who plans on stopping for sleep? If so, when and where? These types of details need to be worked out now and arranged prior to this event to ensure that its set in stone.

Please tell me your ideas and suggestions! If your interested in making this happen, add your name to the roll call and lets get this thing organized... should be a blast! Lets show how the East Coast does it!

:guns:

[Krdshrk]

I wanna make the run too... Probably figure on stopping somewhere halfway. I gotta plan this whole trip out.

[bignoog1]

When I moved from Texas to Maryland it was the same amount of drive. Let me tell you....YOU WILL WANT TO STOP HALFWAY. After 10 hours of driving you will be tired. I think we should plan on staying at some sort of roach motel somewhere along the way. We should try to find the most grimey hotel we can hahahaha. But really lets get this going. Lets show them how the East Coast rolls.

[silver_bullet]

hey....im all in it.....if someone wants to email me at sean.e.dietrich@gmail.com or even hit me up on the phone.....thats probably the best thing.....my number is 203-923-3846....im probably gonna be the only one rolling along from CT....im tryin to get one more person to come along for the ride...but idk exactly how that is gonna roll.....hope to hear from SOMEONE SOON!!!!

[tCMetaLFReaK]

Since I'm changing jobs, not sure I'll make it. But if I beg just right, maybe they'll let me.

[JylBish]

I drove to OK from NY a couple times....lol
You're definitely going to want to stop somewhere. I usually drive a little more than halfway the first day, and stop around STL. Then Day 2 you only have @ 8 hours to go.
If you see one off the highway, the Drury Inns' are affordable, clean, well maintained, usually walking distance of decent food and have free wireless. :up:

[JylBish]

PS- If you fawkers don't make it out here, mama bird is gonna be VERY disappointed! I did it twice. You don't wanna be outdriven by a GIRL do ya???? Ha!!
I taught you better than that. LOL

[Stu_Gotti]

:ponder: I bet I have more miles on my car alone than anyone else on this site... trust me, I will be there if I can be there. Well I'm glad a few of us wanna do this, I really think this would be awesome.

Nope, Trophey Slut from Tx has more ;)

[mospeedtc]

Well this is a awesome Idea I did want to roll with my crew in MD but I am starting in NC so meeting somewhere halfway would be tight so I dont get there alone.I'm so excited abotu the trip.

[Stu_Gotti]

Mo, that is why I was thinking about meeting somewhere a lil further out West. I know at some point along the way we'll all meet up at some place where the highways merge... that place should be the location, but I'm not sure it'll be flawless. At least all the East Coast chapters could roll into Asylum as one. Like Heath said, it would be tight to have a bunch of Scions moving cross country! I know I am bringing my video camera... I am positive we will have some awesome photos for the rest of the club that doesn't make it...

Lets go ahead and get this thing started...

1. Individual Chapters need to go ahead and specify where you'll be leaving from, then MapQuest the trip (Starting point to Asylum) and post the directions with miles into the thread so we can all try and figure out a place that we can meet out West.

2. Once the location has been chosen, you'll then have to calculate how long it will take you to get to the location. Be sure to take into account at least an extra 45-75 mins at least for gas, rest stops, stretching, quick photos, etc. Whomever has the shortest trip based on time/distance will have to time their departure based off the next higher time/distance. This part is going to be critical so that we all merge onto the chosen location around the same time.

3. We need to figure out what day we'll leave, what time, etc. as a group...

4. We're going to need numbers for everyone that is going to unsure we stay connected. Please if you know at this time you'll be going, PM me with your name, number, chapter, model Scion & color. Once I get everyones numbers and information, I'll be making a flyer with all the important information on it so that you can have it for your trip cross country. The flyer will also include meeting spots and critical times that need to be met. Anything else I should include?

Anything I miss?

[manjambles]

wow gotti you got this thing covered, but just one thing, when is this meet, if its during the summer im def tring to go please let me kno, oh and ill be bringing the sexyness

[Stu_Gotti]

Saturday, June 9th is Asylum. I am guessing it'll take a day and a half, maybe two days to get there. We're probably going to be leaving MD on Thursday morning (7th), or maybe the night prior (6th). We're going to have to meet other members along the way, so it'll be a decent paced run, but nothing crazy!

I am going to have to take off on that Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday; possibly Wed depending on when we get back.

You have plenty of time to plan this thing and save. I think this thing when it all comes together is going to be off the hook.

Please keep ideas and suggestions flowing. Once the directions are posted up for each chapter, it'll be time to find a meeting spot and start a timeline for this event.

[Stu_Gotti]

Alright, here is the route that MD members are going to take... unless of course there is a better route... My buddy told me that the route we're taking has tons of hills and mountains... that doesn't really bother me too much, makes for great photos and views.

We would still need to determine where we'd leave from that morning, I guess I would suggest down towards us Heath. Timmy and Diddy can come to us since we're going to be heading South first.


We'd start off on Rte. 5 heading towards Budds Creek. We'd go over the 301 bridge into VA, and then towards I-95S. We'd get off I-95 onto I-295N towards Charlottesville then onto I-64W. We'd stretch this highway out approx. 710 miles. This will leave us in the Illinois and Missouri area. We'd then take I-255S and continue on I-270N. We'd then get onto I-44W towards Tulsa which is going to be approx. 365 miles. Final destination is required before we get onto other smaller highways or roads. This is the general idea of what our trip is going to be like. I am assuming that we'd stop for some rest around KY or IN after driving all day Thursday. Friday we'd get up and continue into Tulsa, and from there would be up in the air.

Approx Distance: 1300 Miles Approx Time: 20 Hours



Once I get some other directions from others who are going to caravan to OK with us, we'll determine where we'll meet up at. I'm sure there maybe more than one leg of this run.

Lets go ahead and get a roll call started for those who think they want to try and catch the East Coast caravan into Asylum...

Roll Call:

1. Gotti

I have no intentions of pushin "Marcy" that far but yall should have everybody from the individual chapters meet up in Springfield, MO at the University Of Missouri Statium the day before that way yall dont loose anytime on the road waitin for anyone thats not coming or got that arested on the way trying to breakin there new trubo. (any body yall meet on the way can just fall in line) Im sure they have plenty of hotels and food place around at such a big football school. Then on the day of yall can roll into Talsa, OK and rep the EAST like you should......................................Spring field to Talsa is only like 3 Hours


Then burn 50 copies of The Imperial March "(Darth Vader (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darth_Vader)'s Theme)" and all roll up playing it. "you can leave the music part out"

[mospeedtc]

count me in plus my gurly. I just want to know where the meeting place is . I was thinking maybe st. louis. Just let me know where we decide to meet

[Stu_Gotti]

I'm thinking that it'll have to be somewhere along the way during the second day of travel... it appears that I-44W would be a great place to meet up one everyone merges onto it.

If you haven't done so, please post up your directions, this way we can decide where we are going to meet up at. I would say lets all meet at the place we are going to stop and rest at, but it may not be the same highway as others... so we'll have to meet the 2nd day most likely.

Mo, where in NC you gonig to be at?

[mospeedtc]

Hey gotti I map quest from MD to tulsa and then from holden beach NC to tulsa. We dont intercept at all. We can try to meet some where right out side of tulsa the day of but it doesnt look like going directly will work. I could leave an hour or two early and head north to meet you somewhere on your way. Just let me know where the meeting spot will be! Thanks:)

[mospeedtc]

The way I see my only chance of meeting all of you is if you guys meet in st louis or some where around there. ERRRR why did it have to be that weekend.:evil:

[silver_bullet]

....hey....im heading from CT...and when i map quested it...it has me going through like Ohio and Illionois.......so idk exactly how it has you going but hopefully we can meet up....im still tryin to see if i can get someone to come along with me.....for the ride.....that request is still going on now....if anyone is interested in tagging along....hit me up....it says approx. 21 hrs....so yea...i would have to leave something like thur morning

[silver_bullet]

Hey stu.....I'm def. interested in meeting up with you for the Big East Entrance....but like ive been posting.....im heading from CT...and it has me going through like Ohio so if you can think of a place to meet up let me know....

[ceastham]

I am in Kansas City and won't be joining you, but I think this is a really great idea. I looked at the map for a city that would be cool to hang out in. Memphis is pretty cool for a one night stay. There are some cool bar and grills there to rest and relax for a night. I was thinking that a good way to organize is to have a meeting place for each state and then advance to a centrally located city like Memphis(402 miles to Tulsa) or Nashville. Stay there for a night and head out to Tulsa. Just my 2 cents eventhough I really don't have anything to do with any of this...lol. Anyways, looking forward to seeing the calvary roll in and meeting you all. Drive safe!!

[Stu_Gotti]

I'll check into the maps and such when I return to work on Monday, weekend is long... must party!

[bignoog1]

This is going to be a sick ass run!!! Oh by the way I posted this in the Mid Atlantic forum on Suck Life oh I mean uhhh Scion Life. 30 Views and no replys. So if you guys are members go on there and talk up the trip.

[SueBee]

I'd like to go....I'll see if I can and get back to you all. Until then I'm not going to put my name on the list yet.

[Stu_Gotti]

Nice! It'll be sweet to have a bunch of us roll in together, spread the w0rd.. we've got a lil bit of time yet.

[Stu_Gotti]

Bump it up! Whos down?

[crkrbox]

:ponder: I bet I have more miles on my car alone than anyone else on this site... trust me, I will be there if I can be there. Well I'm glad a few of us wanna do this, I really think this would be awesome.

how many miles u got on ur car, what yr and when did u get it?
how much does trophy slut got?

im at 106,600 its an 05 got in june of 04

[Stu_Gotti]

Well you have me by 16K.. I'm @ 90K now. I dunno what the other person has...

[silver_bullet]

So Gotti, whats goin on with this whole BIG EAST Entrance....like i said i'm from CT so i'm trying to think of a place to meet up with u..and where would be the best place to meet up....I saw that people from NJ are going....when are you guys leaving and are you leaving together.....

[Stu_Gotti]

I guess I'm still trying to figure out who else is going to be goin from the East... My brain has been fried and tied up for the last few weeks (mother had a mild stoke, and I've been awefully sick), so if anyone has any input, please add...

[THansenite]

That would be fun to try to meet up with everyone before rolling into Tulsa. Us Midwest guys are planning something like this as well. If I remember correctly, Minneapolis and Cedar Rapids are meeting up in Des Moines. Then we will roll down to Kansas City and meet up with those guys. Meanwhile, Chicago is heading to St. Louis and the two groups will merge somewhere in Missouri. I want to roll into Tulsa with as many cars as possible.

[Flecs]

silver bullet.... if your heading that way you should meet up with us midwest guys. liike thansenite said were also going to be rolling together down there

[mospeedtc]

I want to try to meet up in St Louis also. I just need to know when and where so I can plan my leaving time accordingly

[tCMetaLFReaK]

I'm still on the fence due to work... gimme a week or two to see if I can finagle some extra days off.

[silver_bullet]

hey whatever is good....im gettin stoked.....:) shit....im gettin ready

[tCMetaLFReaK]

Luckily with my new job and its work schedule, I will have a 3-day weekend. But I know I'll still have to ask for at least one more day (8th). I'd love to try and get the 7th off as well to give myself plenty of travel time to get there.

[um_lunchbox]

Looks like im trailering from S. FLA, however, I plan on skirting the southern coast, don't know if it is worth the gas to meet with you guys, KY sound a bit out of the way ...

I'll be driving the lower states on my way up to OKC. If you guys decide on swinging south keep me posted, I would love to run with a group.

[tCMetaLFReaK]

NJ rollin out. What day is everyone leaving from the NE?

[tCMetaLFReaK]

Anyone willing to make plans for this? If not, I'll probably be going a northern route so I can stop over a friend's place and sleep there.

[whatmovesu]

Hey my east side homies we were (tx peeps) speaking to some of the more local chapters and we were planning on meeting up in muskogee OK (just out side of Tulsa) then ALL cruise in maybe we can plan it so you guys roll wit us 100+ cars would be banana fo sho....

My south florida homie if you rolling up through okc check out us DFW peeps maybe we can do something....


lemme know....

[tCMetaLFReaK]

I checked yahoo maps, and the route it had me going was through PA, OH,and Missuri to OK. If I meet up with the MD peeps, We'd probably come in straight from the east through VA and Tenn.

[Stu_Gotti]

I gotta take a look at the map again, and see who is still going... It's been a bit since I touched this subject, but I wanted to get the idea out there and let some time pass so we can better figure out who is going to be able to make it.

Matt - I'm def going to be going, I told Heath I was coming, so I'm not going back on my word... plus I want to meet some of the mid-West and West coast members. If you and whomever from NE and PA wants to meet me and who ever else somewhere, I can go off course to make it about even for each of us. I figured if we could get a handful or two of cars, that would be so much easier for both sleeping arrangements, etc. We can all go in on a hotel somewhere along the way.

[Big-Kokujin]

I heard DFW rollin deep...Louisiana supposed to be like 7 or so...we pickin up Arkansas, and I think some of the Ten-a-key Scikos too...F L A too I think...the more the better. I'd deff like to roll in 100+ rollin through redlights...awww yea son, awwww yea

[Flecs]

we will be meeting up with other chapters on our way south from MN

[Stu_Gotti]

Same info here that I posted on the Asylum thread, I'm going to have to back out of this event due to financial issues and a jacked up car...

[Flecs]

ah man... sorry to hear that bro

[Stu_Gotti]

Yeah, I really wanted to attend this, especially being a HMFIC and whatnot..
