Announcing!!! The second Annual Mason Dixon Rally!!

Date Saturday October 6th Rain Date Saturday October 20th
Start time 10 AM
Estimated total time of the event 4 hrs including lunch.
Staging location will be at the same location as last year.
The Iron Skillet restaurant in the Flying J truck stop off I-95.
The rest stop is the very first Maryland exit if your heading South on I-95 just yards past the Delaware Tollbooth or it is the very Last Maryland Exit before you hit the Delaware Tollbooth heading north. The Flying J truck stop is located on the northbound side of I-95. This is significant because there are truck stops on both sides of I-95 at this exit.

The purpose of this rally is to bring together all the enthusiast from the Southern reach of our community together with the Northern reach of our community to one event typically held in the waning weeks of the driving season. Last year’s event, the first ever, accomplished just that by hosting 47 people for a 100 mile back road extravaganza through the back roads of Northern Maryland and South Eastern Pennsylvania. Well you’re in for a treat this year.

This years event will take place roughly in the same geographic location BUT….the route has been designed so we cross no less than eight covered bridges, stop at a beautiful park at noon time for a picnic lunch (bring your own lunch) and conclude at a farm which serves homemade ice cream made from the cows they raise on the farm. Oh and in between some of the most rural roads you can imagine. Sound like fun?? I plan to make it the rally to remember and get you through the long winter months of driving the minivan back and forth to work!!

No RSVP is needed and there is no cost to the event. Just show up and drive and have fun.

I plan to make more announcements with exciting additions to enhance the fun factor as the days and weeks progress. Spread the word!! Literally every car enthusiast and Marque is invited so spread the word

PS to the fine men and women in uniform pledged to serve and protect that may be monitoring this site….This is not a race or a high speed event.

It sounds (and looks) really fun... who doesn't love some high-dollar exotics, cruising the back roads and enjoying the weather and foliage? However, there is an event on the 5th that I plan on attending and might not feel up to going out a second day. I might show up.

I heard about this sounds pretty cool. I was going to go to the delaware auto show on saturday, but this sounds tempting.

Which farm with homemade ice cream is it? Any idea because there is one in hockessin.

Yeah, the one on Northstar road is the only one I know of in the area.

This makes me wish I had a car worthy of being there.

hmm,.....might make it. Do you have a link with more details on the route???
Thanks ...but I don't have an "exotic"....think Ferrarichat prefers that from what I've been reading.

Flying J Travel Plaza in North East, MD??? (South of I-95)

Steve do you know if John is bringing his ferrari or noble out? I thought you were coming to this one to videotape. Are you coming to the meet on 14th in nj that rob had last year? There's 3 meets in 2 weeks that I want to attend. One this sat, one sun, and one next week. Damn fall meets. I guess I got to get it out of my system.

I think he is bringing the Barchetta, I am prob going to be in NY this weekend, but really want to make this. If not I will give you a call because I would rather film then drive anyways.

sounds good. I'm definately up for it. I'm going to be at the shop on friday anyway making final arrangements with them. I believe that Jeff is going to go also to help John out with organizing the meet. It'll be cool to see that Euro E36 out and about. It's pretty sweet IMO.

Yeah Jeff is a nice guy, he came out with his car last year, and I have seen him out a few other times as well. OH and btw I will be there :buttrock


From Jon who is organizing the meet

First let me say how pleased I am that the theme of this run is coming through loud and clear. Its a gathering of enthusiast (note: not elitest) North and South who actually drive there cars. Secondly I went on plenty of rallies long before I could afford what I own. I admired the exotics and it inspired me to achieve. This is a healthy thing speaking for myself only. I am an enthusiast of many marques and think we live in what will one day be called the golden years of the car hobby. Bring em out baby!!!

I'll be there.....but i wonder how welcomed a non-M e30's gunna be :stickoutt

Are ride-alongs common & welcomed, Andrew? As much as I love driving my car on backroads, I think if i've got an opportunity to ride in an exotic array of cars I should take it.

So, it is a "rain date" or today? Depending on where you live, it's sprinkling or not...

:alright No problem, I had a good time, I didn't get to talk to you much, but talked to a few guys. It was pretty fun. I just woke up from my second nap, I lost my hat :( and was so tired for most of it.
