The Toys For Tots Rally - November 3rd, 2007

WOW Barry! Amazing pictures! I have a bunch I’d like but ill pm you details later on. Very well done my friend I was thoroughly entertained!

 

Entertained by my pictures or by my head flapping with the G-Forces????LOL

Thanks, just let me know which ones you want.

 

I have very serious and bad news for all...

I got a msg from a friend of mine from NYC Highway Patrol - "I advise that there will be zero tolerance next time and any cars that are caught operating at that rate of speed (70 - 100 +) will be summonsed and towed and that arrests next time will be made for Wreckless Endangerment. We had 5 cars in brooklyn looking for them and 4 in staten island. Also tell them that whoever ran from us in the BMW when we stopped one of you will be getting the summons."

 

hah i do 70-100 every day, so if i do 110 i'm alright?

 

read it carefully - 70-100+

 

I took part in todays successful event. Way to go Keith.

I saw NO Cops in Queens or Brooklyn. I guess those 4 in Staten Island should have left Dunkin Donuts a little quicker since there was traffic on the VZ Bridge , backed up to mid span. The only cops spotted by the car I was in, were in Jersey. A couple of Troopers and a Town Cop!!

I did hear(rumor) a story at one of the stops about a BMW being pulled over by a NYPD Unmarked. Reason for the stop. The cop wanted to know what the event was!!!! He also found it weird that the other cars left the ONE participant to be pulled over solo!! No Ticket was issued I believe. As I stated....this was the rumor!!!!

 

There was more unmarked vehicles then you think.

All I'm trying to say is that they are tired of this and I want to warn you so there will be no problems in future.

 

I am not taking it out on you Lukas. I am sure everyone appreciates the "heads up". But for the most part.... everyone driving is a "grown up"!! No, I dont condone running from or racing away from a Car Stop. If you get caught be prepared to deal with it! And I assure you if the cops really wanted to find anyone in the caravan this morning, they could have. Motorola is alot faster then any car that was there today!!!! Any portion of the road could have been shut down before we blinked. I've done it, I know!! But just as we sit here telling stories about the cops we got away from, they sit back and tell the same (fantasy) stories of how many "Exotics" they caught today!!! Thats why I run with the Exotics...... Hopefully the cops arent gonna bother me in my "Lil Chevy"!!!!!!! But today , I rode "*****" and played photographer since JT is in Vegas!!!!!!


Again....thanks for the warning. But lets not take away from the fact that KEITH put together a successful event!!!!!!!!!!

 

Did see the marked NYC HWY car cruising along with us on the Cross Island and onto the beginning of the Belt. Next one I saw was actually standing outside on the side the 'bridge' before exit 11 (Belt Pwky) utilizing what looked like laser...Pretty sneaky, sis..

 

Keith you did a great job today! We had a lot of fun. It was nice meeting some new people and to the two guys that Barry and I sat with at lunch, I'm sorry guys I don't remember your names, but it was great meeting both of you and you guys were damn funny!

Barry, I hope you don't have too many rock chips in the back of your head, lol

 

Looks like a great time.
Sorry I coud not make it bro!!!
you always do an awesome job at these...

 

You missed a great time John. I hope it was due to a "Nurse" keeping you busy!!!!!!

But you did also miss an amazing 360 plus exhibition conducted by a C6Z06!!!!! I believe he made a Porsche driver crap himself!

 

I only saw one cop at the end on rt 18..:eeps:.. I had a hunch he was going to pull out and pull me over so I didn’t stick around to find out and dipped off the main road for lil bit, then regrouped. I usually always stay at the beginning of the pack in the first leg of the run.... the cops are usually "sleeping" and don’t realize what’s happening until a good bunch of us have whizzed by, but regardless im not going to start a "how to build a bomb" manual about pulling a fast one on police. That’s certainly not my aim. I’m trying to say that everyone has to be more conscious about what and who is around them before they decide to do some nasty passing or sick sprinting. Avoid taking these risks whenever possible and be careful and understanding that there will be a time when you will not get the benefit of the doubt. It’s already happened to a bunch of us a few times over im sure. We all have to take a page from Alex Roy's new book "The Driver" (in stores now.... hehe)

That being said great run Keith. There will always be the guy but for the most part everyone was safe and courteous.

 

Guys.

Don't let a great event and thread degrade into a street racing, run from the cops, neener neener thread.

You all know the rules here.

Keep it on topic about the event, and not about any activities that might lead to problems for users here.

Thanks,

Dave

 

I saw that "DIP" and was wondering ......WHAT THE HELL. Cause you didnt do it until about a mile after the cop. He had never pulled out. We actually thought we missed the road for the restaurant when you did that!!!
No harm no foul!!!

 

Keith glad you had a successful run, a whole bunch of us missed it but we just got back from SEMA in Vegas.
glad you guys had fun, and good job looking out for the kids
