Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Northeast Next weekend-Harry's in Hazelton

Only one thing to say Dan....$$ BIG money $$.

I do hope that you'll still be able to make it. After all the OT that you'll be pulling in you'll need a day off!

Zee and Glenn are you both still coming?

As it stands now, I will likely be coming. Then driving North afterqwards to stay overnight ans go see a race Sunday

I am also trying to arrange things for one or two friends of mine to come with my Sunday to the 100th Anniversary runnings of the Giant's Despair Hill Climb in Laurel Run, PA (near Wilkes-Barre).

For my to drive half way there to get to EZ Pull, then drive all the way back then up to Wilkes-Barre the next day is quite fuel inefficient. Just trying to to two fun things n one weekend.

BTW, you can pack your own linches. Or, EZ Pull has a little Hot dog Truck there. Or, on route 309 where your turn West onto 895, there is a Conveninence Store with gas pumps. In New ringold a couple of miles to the West, there is also a store and ATM.

EZ Pull has a coouple of picnic tables and some Porta-Potteies near the entrance.

Good!
Is there was a place that we could get lunch afterward, I mean besides the convenience store?
What would you guys prefer, bring lunch, eat there (scary thought ) or get something afterward? Whatever works for you guys.

Yep, I'm still game.

...I'll have to clean my car for a change though. =P

Yippee!
Did you get the tensioner put on?

No, I never went to get one purely for the reason that, I never actually go over 3500 rpm's, and if it does it at 4800+ I figure why bother?

That, and I'm lazy/cheap. I'm going to buy a 3.0L before the years end anyway, so I'm not that worried about it. I've already got about $600 on the side for the motor anyway, so probably sooner than the end of the year.

Gotcha.


Did you get my PM?

Yes, I did. Since I've been working, I rarely check things though. Today was the first time in the last 5 I've actually stopped to read things.

I understand. I was having some trouble sending PM's previously so I wanted to check.

Lunch afterwards?

Nothing really close to EX Pull. That convenience store on route 309 in Snyders isn't too bad, though. Good variety of drinks, coffee, ice cream, and sandwiches. I believe they make some to order, but I am not sure since I am never in the market for that when I arrive in the area.

You'd need to travel North to Tamaqua (10 minutes) for the fast food places, like Burger King.

In South Tamaqua -- about half-way North of the Snyders Corner convenience at route 309/895, is an big Ice Cream place. It's about the size of a Friendly's, so, I suspect they serve burgers, etc. in addition to sweets.

The name starts with an "E" (Elby's, maybe)

If I remember the name I'll post again.

Those who are coming from the North down route 309 will pass by it (on your right, Southbound).

To repeat: persons from the North traveling Southbound on I-81 sould exit to Rte. 54 Hometown, then take 309 South to Rte. 895 West/South (whichever that is) toward New Ringold.

EZ Pull is on the Left about 6.5 miles along rte. 895.
