N.H. Midnight Run invite!

I hope this is within the forum rules, if not, moderators, please take it down.

Hello Mini owners,

We are all sports car owners who love to drive...so... I wanted to extend an invitation to anyone that wants to join a 100 mile Miata ride I am putting together this Friday night, October 3rd starting at 10:00 P.M. from the Seabrook N.H. Wal-mart. It travels on routes, 107, 107A. 108, 111A, 16, 1A.

Map details are at Miata.net in the "Northeast " section with a thread called "Midnight Run" and this years map is "Post #84"

I hope to see Mini or two join us

-Cheers,

Jim

As long as its non-commercial and legal, then there's no problem.

Thanks Paul. It's all good! This is the second year I am putting this ride together. It's open to anyone who loves a night time ride through great twisty roads. I love the Mini and would like to see 1 or 2+ show up for the run (You don't have to have a Mini convertable). Please bring a 2 way radio/handheld if you have one.

The ride starts in southern NH and hits Bay rd (6 miles 150+ turns) and then comes down 1A along the coast.

P.S. We did have a car hit a deer when we were scouting roads this year. So that is always a threat.

Hope to see a Mini join our Midnight Run tomorrow. We will be meeting at the Seabrook Wal-Mart between 9:30 and 10:00 P.M.; Leaving at 10:15 P.M. Look for a group of Miatas near the parking lot entrance.

-Cheers,

Jim

P.S. Thanks for letting me post here, I will keep checking for rides that you guys put on...Do you guys let other makes join in?

Hi Joe,

I sent you a PM with this info: But it is open for anyone.

The ride starts at 10:00 P.M. from the Wal-Mart parking lot (we will be there earlier to meet and talk cars). The Wal-Mart is 270 Lafayette Rd # A, Seabrook, NH - (603) 474-2037. I would say we will be above the speed limit during the run , but at night it feels faster on great twistie roads and spirited. This is our second year, last year we had 8 cars, this year hoping for 10+ ( we have 2 leaders to split up the pack so that no one gets left behind. Hope you can make it!

-Cheers,

Jim

P.S. It's at night so you don't have to wax and detail your car before hand

Joe,

Thanks for coming on the Run with us this year. Sorry if some of the guys went slower than you wanted But they are old and can't see that well. I did want to introduce you to some nice stretches of road that you may want to run at another time...just don't forget to invite me!

-Cheers,

Jim

Midnight "DAY" Run 2008! 10/12/08

Due to popular demand, I will doing a "Daytime" version of the Midnight Run! It will be the same route only brighter and warmer! We will meet in the Seabrook Wal-Mart parking lot at 10:00 A.M. This will be a little slower due to traffic, but the views are spectacular. Hope to see some Mini's there.

-Cheers,

Jim

p.s. One more image to prove Joe was there
