C&C Western Massachusetts
We are putting together a Cars and Coffee event in Western Mass, this will allow Saleen owners in New England to gather every other week as a starting point to help develop the region.
I hope to have a cruise after the event in southern vermont after one or two of the gatherings. I am waiting on Kringle Candle to be the host, located in Bernardston, MA just off I-91. I will know by wednesday of next week. The owners of Kringle Candle are the original owners of Yankee Candle. Kick off for C&C is tentively planned for May 1st and then every other Sunday from 7am to 11am. Notices will be posted on our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wester...13179218707833 Thanks

Kringle Candle has accepted our plan and a coffee supplier has also accepted...
Now on to planning and logistics.... I want to invite all Saleen owners to the first event... tentative date is May 1st... Now Saleen owners in New England have a place to gather and meet others with the same interest...

Cruise route: Molly Stark Trail - Route 9
Heading west out of Brattleboro the road runs in the lower elevations along several river drainages and gradually rises to higher mountainous elevations. A variety of conditions are encountered along this route, including winding curves that follow meandering rivers and exciting twisting switchbacks with uphill and downhill grades. There are also some stretches of riding that present long ascending and descending slopes with gradual cornering. The road surface is in excellent condition through the majority of the routes length. The road is also noticeably well maintained with a large section having been completely resurfaced within the last few years.

Hi Tim, nice turnout! Looks like a good time, might have to burn some fuel and come out next time to check out the show. I'll leave the '70 skylark at home and just bring the saleen :)

Update
I have put out flyers across the region and I have reached out to Saleen owners and club members or not.
Since this is my event I have secured 16+ spaces for Saleens ONLY.... I can always add more.. LMAO... Hemmings Motor News has been confirmed. We will have a cruise after the cruise-in and I have many cars looking forward to the cruise other than Saleens... It will be really fun.. We will observe local laws, I don't want anyone to get in trouble with the cops.. Mike Kittredge told me he is displaying 6 cars... I don't have any idea right now which one's... he has too many 100++. The pack out for the cruise-in will be around 160+, they are telling me only 100, BUT I know where I can fit some more cars... LOL Kringle Candle store will be open during the event.. so if your hubby likes candles.. well there goes your bank account.. I have already have 9 Saleens confirmed. I am hoping for a friend to bring his baby... a Seal Beach model which is lurking in Massachusetts... I can only pray.. I will send a broadcast email to everyone soon... The event is listed here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/event.ph...04275432941065 For pictures and chat go here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/We...13179218707833 Hope too see everyone there...

We will leave Kringle Candle at 11am and head north on Route 5 and 10 north to The Four Leaf Clover Restaurant for lunch, it is a limited all-inclusive menu, which should only take us an hour. Then, we are off for a scenic cruise through Western Mass and Vermont to Hemmings Motor News Headquarters in Bennington, Vt for a group tour of the car museum. If we have time we will go to the Bennington Monument also.
Don't forget to bring your camera's Remember to register at the SALEEN tent for the cruise!!!
