SDAC 18 Caravan Thread (PA, OH, NY, CT, NJ, MD, WV, etc.)

[DC Turismo]

Wanted to post a thread dealing with a caravan to SDAC-18 ONLY rather than clutter up any of the other SDAC-18 related threads. Posts are to be kept b.s. free here in order to plan an organized caravan (no one wants to rummage through meaningless posts).

Below is a map image showing the route those of us from SWPA will be taking. It'd be really cool to have a nice long caravan causing people's heads to turn and to all roll in together at the hotel (where my directions end on this map).

Ideally, if anyone is interested in meeting up to form a caravan, one of the better spots to hook up is right below the L in North Olmstead, OH on I-80. Another good spot west of that to pick up more would be in Toledo, OH of course, where many junctions meet. I know we will be stopping in either between Lambertville and Monroe for some photo opportunities since we'll be by the Great Lakes.

Note: Construction may alter the end of this route slightly, but I won't know that unless A) someone from around there more familliar with the area under construction posts - and/or - B) the newsletter informs the best way to go.

Again, looking forward to this event very much and this thread is to gather interest in forming a caravan out to the event. If this applies to you, let's hear from you and please keep it on topic pertaining to the caravan, meeting spots, and times only.

[Blue Iroc R/T]

What day? Friday? Need to pick a ETA at various spots, for people to meet. I think your trip is planned for Friday and I won't be going until Saturday. So If anyone else is interested in a Saturday Caravan, (leaving from Akron area), PM me and we can start another thread, so as not to cluter/confuse this thread.

[jaysshelby]

Most of the Buckeye Chapter guys will be meeting up saturday by my house since I am close to the turnpike. Will know for sure after our meeting this weekend. I will post the time and where we will be meeting.

[contraption22]

We'll be rolling out EARLY Friday, like before the butt-crack of dawn from the Philadephia area. Maybe 4-5 am.

[DC Turismo]

You should be passing through our path then right Mike? Would you like to roll out there together? Who is all going with you?

[slasky]

I know the WNY crew is heading out Friday afternoon.

[contraption22]

There will be quite a group of DV-SDACer's going. I don't know how many will be joining the caravan. But yes we should be rolling thru your area probably late morning.

[contraption22]

Wow... looking at that map... makes me wonder if we would be better heading up to ft 80 and going west to avoid pittsburgh traffic.... probably not.

[jaysshelby]

The Buckeye Chapter has set it up that we will be leaving saturday at 12 noon from the service plaze just west of the #140 exit on the Turnpike. Anyone passing thru about that time can roll out with us if interested.

[1FastCSX289]

I know the WNY crew is heading out Friday afternoon.

Yea......I dont think we would make Toledo much before 9PM. I dont know if the Steel city guys are going to be going thru that late, but I would all for meeting up with you if you are.

[DC Turismo]

Wow... looking at that map... makes me wonder if we would be better heading up to ft 80 and going west to avoid pittsburgh traffic.... probably not.

Where exactly are you coming from? I-80 is pothole city and when I was up at State College everyone talked about how much of a nightmare it was to drive. Would I-76 be relatively easy for you guys to travel on to head west and then meet up with I-80 in OH where the two meet?

Yeah we should be in Pontiac by the latest 2 PM. We're opting to leave early so we have daylight to work with IF something were to happen with our cars. Sure don't feel like being a couple states away at nighttime on the shoulder of the road haha.... In the daylight, at least a problem could hopefully be diagnosed. Plus it's safer.

Last year, SDAC started after we got out of school for the summer.....this year, its taking place over the last 3 days of school. I know Lasky and I will be pushing our "personal days" taking mon-wed off that week, so we cant leave until after school.....so it looks like it probably wont work out. No biggie.....we'll have 5 days to cruise when we get there.

top fuel and i are planning to leave at like 12 am so we will be by you before you get there if there is anything nasty on the way i call your cell and let you know:D see you there :thumb: greg

We'll be comming from the Philadelphia area.
I'm not sure which would be the best route. Some of the guys are going to be hauling trailers, and I-80 is-toll free if i remember correctly.

[Turbo3Iroc]

Yes 80 is toll free and it's not as pot holed up as previously stated in this thread. If you guys go out 80 I might join up the caravan.

[neonkitten63]

Going up to Route 80 would put us about an hour behind. I dont think any of us are going to have a trailer.

[contraption22]

Well looks like we will officially be leaving the Philadelphia area at 4 am.

[contraption22]

Bump.....cuz i feel like it.

[denviola]

So where is a good place to meet up with you Billy?
Is anyone in your gang towing?

Denny

[DC Turismo]

No one towing from here. What time are you departing from out your way? I believe we're going to leave here on Friday morning at the new time of 7 AM.

[contraption22]

Looks like we'll be passing your exit at least an hour later. Maybe if we boogie we can catch up with you:)

[CSX173]

Well, since some folks from local are probably not watching this thread, you may not get better directions. I have only been through the I75 North closure a couple of times, and it is certainly a PITA. If you like Interstate cruising, the map at the top of this is a good way to go. But, if you want a couple of shortcuts to save time, I will now attempt to give you some turn by turns once you get off I-275 instead of going down 696. After all, 696 is all constructioned up too. Especially, where it meets 75. The Northbound ramp was closed there the other day, and it took me a long time to go farther East on 696, find a place to do a U-turn and take the other ramp Westbound on 696 to get to 75 North.

Take 5N, instead of 696. It is the same exit. Go to it ends. Turn right onto Pontiac Trail. Take it until it ends at Orchard Lake. make a left onto Orchard Lake. Take it until it ends in Pontiac. Make a left in downtown Pontiac just after you go under a building and parking deck. (It's the only building you will drive through). Make a left and go a couple of blocks to University Drive. make a right on University. At this point, you can take University or M-59 to get to Chrysler. Now, this doesn't get you to the hotel (I don't know which hotel is the host) but it gets you straight to where the car show will be. Hope it helps. You want to avoid 75 and 696 if you can.

If you want a more direct route than 275, take 75N, to 96W, to 94E, to 10N, to 8E, back to 75N. That is the construction workaround. it is only a few turns and probably is about the same distance as if you were driving straight up 75N, since it turns all over the place downtown anyway. But, if the construction signs dump you off onto 24 (Telegraph) you can take it North to 94E and pick up in the directions in the start of this paragraph.

If you cruise mapquest while reading this, it will make sense. (At least I hope it does.) Good luck getting here this time. It is the worst construction I have seen here since I moved here in 2005.

[CSX173]

Um.... after talking to some of my buddies here at work, I stand corrected. You CANNOT get to 96W going N on 75. So, either Telegraph (24N) or it looks like you could actually continue on 75N all the way to Dix (Exit 40) and take it N to Southfield (39). Turn left on it to 94E. Then 10N to 8E to 75N. Looks like the Hwy. dept. wants folks off at Telegraph, but you can actually stay on 75N a bit longer (I bet traffic would be lighter too).

[denviola]

No one towing from here. What time are you departing from out your way? I believe we're going to leave here on Friday morning at the new time of 7 AM.

I'll be towing, so I'm looking to pass through your area at 6AM or probably earlier. You'll probably catch up to me. Really want to get through Detroit before late afternoon...........

Looks like the Hwy. dept. wants folks off at Telegraph, but you can actually stay on 75N a bit longer (I bet traffic would be lighter too).

Well I disagree somewhat with what you posted here Tom. The directions I had in the newsletter still stand as the best way. (275/696) However at the time that was printed the new work on 696 had not begun and the ramp closures were scheduled to be completed early this month.

Folks, do not under any circumstances take I-75 or I-94 into the city of Detroit. If you have a mishap or breakdown there, you will find yourselves in neighborhoods that you really don't want to be in.

Right now, I-75 north into Michigan to I-275 north, or I-94 east to I-275 north, to I-696 east looks to be the best bet. Then instead of going all the way to I-75 north, get off at US-24 or Telegraph Rd north. Telegraph north of I-696 is a great road 4 lanes each way in many places, very little construction and few traffic lights. Take that to Square Lake Rd east to Opdyke Rd. The motel is right there.

BTW, the reason we don't suggest Telegraph Rd (US-24) all the way from I-75 north, is that in many places in the southern stretch the road surface is poor. Also there is a ton of traffic lights in that area. To drive 30+ miles up Telegraph would probably be worse than being in traffic on any of the Detroit area freeways.

And lastly, sorry Tom but, folks do not take this route.


Take 5N, instead of 696. It is the same exit. Go to it ends. Turn right onto Pontiac Trail. Take it until it ends at Orchard Lake. make a left onto Orchard Lake. Take it until it ends in Pontiac. Make a left in downtown Pontiac just after you go under a building and parking deck. (It's the only building you will drive through). Make a left and go a couple of blocks to University Drive. make a right on University. At this point, you can take University or M-59 to get to Chrysler. Now, this doesn't get you to the hotel (I don't know which hotel is the host) but it gets you straight to where the car show will be. Hope it helps. You want to avoid 75 and 696 if you can.In this stretch, there are many spots that may be confusing to folks not familiar with the area. And if traffic is congested it only gets much worse.

I am still trying to get good maps & directions on the SDAC website, it is just that time is not on my side right now.

Hey Denny, want me to weld a reciever hitch to the back of your trailer so that we can attach the Whore via car dolly?:lol:

[TurboZchik]

Troy, you know you want to go , so just do it! :amen:

[DC Turismo]

Mike, Denny, do you guys want to arrange a meetup point somewhere? Remember we cant check in until 3 or so anyways and since you're all coming hru our way within an hour +/- it'd be great to have a caravan.

[contraption22]

Maybe we can arrange for a breakfast stop in your area or something, Billy?

[DC Turismo]

There's plenty of places to do so. Actually, would New Stanton be a good place to meet up (location of SDAC-17 last year)? in other words, will you be coming down the turnpike in order to catch I-80? If so, you'll be passing right by the New Stanton exit and you saw how many restaurants were out there! Bob Evans..... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It'd be a lot of fun to do a caravan thing though. That is one thing I missed going to our first SDAC (15) and didn't get to see last year since we hosted it here in SWPA.

Mmmmm Sausage gravy..... I will run it by the rest of our crew and see what they say.

[DC Turismo]

Sounds good. I'll do the same. Maybe plan a time to meet (depending on the businesses hours of operation out there) for 7 AM so we can grab something to eat and still be on the road by 8, 8:30, putting us at our hotel roughly a little after checkin time of 3 o'clock considering stops for gas/restroom/etc. ?

Someone at SDAC 15 (Think it was Wallace) pulled an enclosed trailer with his diesel Ram, and then attached a tow dolly to the trailer. The dolly had an Omni on it. Just don't have to back up!

[DC Turismo]

HAHA I don't remember that trailer deal Den? Have a pic! That sounds hilarious.

[Turbo3Iroc]

Yes that was Wallace and it was some sight!

[fleckster]

It wasn't an Omni on the tow dolly. It was a red SRT-4 with "balls" hanging off the rear bumper. The enclosed trailer had his Spirit R/T in it.

[DC Turismo]

HAHAHA Truck nuts, that's even better! :lol:

Oh no..... trying to give our noble town a bad name???? :D Well, he's kinda right. Just don't get caught in a couple of places after dark. I have some co-workers who found that out the hard way. However, I do a lot of driving downtown in some of those neighborhoods, and I have never been involved in or even witnessed anything violent unless the sun is down. But, the casino district is OK 24/7, as long as you stay within a few blocks of the casinos. Just don't want to scare you away from helping our local economy in the downtown area. :eyebrows:

And, I would still have to say that 696 sux right now. 5N to Pontiac Tr. to Orchard Lake is a lot less hassle. Even 5N to Maple East to Telegraph North is good. I was driving from Auburn Hills to Wixom every day the past 2 months. 696 East on a Friday night will not be fun.

I was driving from Auburn Hills to Wixom every day the past 2 months. Tom when giving directions for folks we try to keep folks on main roads that are well lit and well marked (and hopefully in good repair). That is one reason I don't like the local streets you are suggesting. I used to travel Orchard Lake when I worked out in Commerce Twp, and east of Telegraph it is like a side street and goes through one of the worst neighborhoods in Pontiac. I don't want to direct anyone to go through there.


696 East on a Friday night will not be fun. But it still beats Chicago which took us over 5 hours to get across on Friday afternoon for SDAC-14. :eyebrows:

Actually getting into town is not the worst trip, getting to & from Milan Dragway during rush hours on a Tuesday will be the worst travel we have.

Maps & directions WILL be in the goody bags.

It seems pretty unlikely we would be able to get there before 8 am. As it stands we will be leaving at 4 am. Probably would not be a good idea for us to get any less sleep than that.

Agreed. We'd probably arrive before the Steel City crew departs.

[DC Turismo]

What time do you plan on getting in our area Mike? We're willing to arrange our departure time if it would mean getting to follow last year's Parking Lot Party Pioneers! :thumb:

[contraption22]

Our tentative plan is to leave King of Prussia, PA at 4 am. ETA to the New Stanton Bob Evans according to GoogleMaps is 8:04am. Assuming we get there on one tank of fuel, we might get there a bit earlier. I'm gonna PM you my cell phone number. If you send me yours, and it doesn't look like we are gonna be held up at all I will let you know by around 7 am.

The four hour timetable assumes an average speed of 63mph. We might do 70, but probably not much faster than that in the interest of fuel economy. It also assumes no bathroom breaks.

[neonkitten63]

It also assumes no bathroom breaks.

Yeah, that's why the Chicago crew is rolling out on Saturday, Getting through the city on a weekday any time between 5:30am and 8pm is pretty much useless.

From the sounds of it all we're going to miss is the PA guys fighting over whose turn it is in the john anyhow...
