Any specific meeting place we want to set up? Clubhouse side of the path to the paddock?

I despise driving in big cities; I get lost every time and get so frustrated I usually just turn around. This year all my side kicks bailed on me at the last minute. So here's a tenative plan I have come up with.


Greyhound Bus from Washington DC to Queens Village, NY
Leaving @ 10PM (6/6/08)
Arriving @ 530AM

Festivities-----kill time------no place to sleep


Airport from JFK to Washington DC
Leaving @ 6AM
Arriving @ 715AM

Dedication until the Stakes runs. Stupidity from then on.

[Heels1989]

Mrs Heels and I will be in attendence. Section 2A. First trip to Big Sandy.
Safe travels to all heading to Elmont.

Nick was kind enough to finagle a restaurant ticket for me, so I'm set. Sure to spend a good part of day wandering around.

Really looking forward to it!

I will be in GA, hopefully along the rail, as close as possible to 8:30 am. Alone. Anybody willing to provide support for the long day feel free to stop by.

Making the drive from DC tomorrow.

taxiwiz.com gives an estimate of $23.00

[Storm Cadet]

Shouldn't be...6 miles on Belt Parkway east then 1 mile north on Cross Island Parkway.

I am trying to make a trip up to Belmont even though a buddy bailed at the last minute. Will be looking for DT'ers. Is there a spot where folks will be gathering. I've only been to Belmont once and would appreciate any suggestions on good spots to hang out. Thanks!
