Yes it's that time of year again this was posted almost 2 weeks earlier last year by molloni but i havent heard from him in about 2 or 3 months honestly. We usually start recruiting for this show around april anyway. For those who are new or who don't know yet RICOA is our show by that i mean NEC5's yearly mass gathering where we've had over 60 Camaros show up before. It's where we take our giant annual car picture at the emerald square mall and really get to enjoy each others company and catch up on old times and new news. We usually have jay convince his wife to make those bomb ass cookies aswell.

This year me and nick actually decided to do a tribute to the late filthy phil as our panorama group picture before nick fell off the face of the earth a few months ago. We will have something for everyone to sign and we will give it to phil's family at the ECCC Show'N'Shine at the Anheuser-Busch Plant in Merrimack, NH in early august. We will also be taking donations for phil to be given to the American Heart Association. You may do so in cash or on your own time online under his tribute thread. Now to the actual coordination effort and THE LIST!

VERMONT, MAINE, NEW HAMPSHIRE & NORTHERN MA RALLY POINT:

JB12ZL1 - Rally Point Capt.

Barnes & Nobel, Burlington, MA, leave by 7:00am

If you are coming on 95S, you will take exit 32B for Middlesex Tpk, Burlington, Arlington. As you come off the exit, stay to the right and merge onto Middlesex Tpk. You will drive just past the B&N (on your left) to the first light where you'll have to get into the left lane to make a U-turn, then move to the right to turn into the parking lot. I would say to pull into the Chili's lot facing the road. If you are coming down Rt3S, take the last exit, Exit 25A for I95N, Rt3S. You'll follow that loop down and watch for the signs for the Mall. Google Earth doesn't have good pictures for this part of the interchange, but keep your eye out for Middlesex Tpk. As you get off the exit for the mall and the turnpike, stay to the right. You'll merge onto Middlesex, pass under the interstate and stop at a set of lights. At that set, you should see B&N up ahead. Again, move to the left, and at the next set of lights, take the U-turn and move right into the Chili's parking lot.

MASSACHUSETTS SECONDARY RALLY POINT:


TRC-SS - Rally Point Capt.
Dunkin' Donuts 92 West Main Street, Hopkinton, MA leave by 7:50am

This is the first exit off of I495 South after getting off I90.
There is the DD's and the side street behind it. There is plenty of room for all of us there as we found out last year. There is not enough room in the DD's lot...soooo....who ever shows up first, say the first 3 or 4 cars, park in the DD's lot there, and then have everyone else line up in the street just behind the DD's. It is Elm St. Direct the rest of the cars onto Elm street. We'll line up on the side of the road there.

CONNETICUT, RHODE ISLAND RALLY POINT:

One-Bad-ZL1 - Rally Point Capt.

Commuter Lot Exit 82 off I-395 Norwich, CT leave by 7:15am

I'll let jay fill in the basics on this rally point he's always done a great job with this spot and it's worked wonderfully for a rally point thus far.

EMERALD SQUARE MALL FINAL RALLY POINT & CLUB PHOTO LOCATION:

999 S. Washington St, North Attleborough, MA Picture taken by 9am

Just off of Route 1 and I295. We'll be meeting in the parking lot adjacent to the parking garage. When you pull in, there will be someone directing everyone into formation. I'm hoping we can park where we need to and take all pictures and get out of there by 9:15am

I'll add pictures from the previous threads a little closer to june.

I'm in

I usually head to emerald right from burlington ma.

CT CREW RALLY POINTS
 

In! And I'll rally the CT troops. Pray for good weather so we don't hit that conflict again.

CT CREW RALLY POINTS AND TIMING::rules:

The first map is overall plan, all those joining the CT Crew must be at Rally Point #1 between 7-7:15am, and we are on the road by 7:15am. It takes about an hour to get to the mall from there and its a pretty nice ride. When we arrive at the mall, we will do what we did last year and all pull into the lot on the right, stay in one long line which will allow us to be called to form whatever symbol is chosen in an organized fashion.

The second map is a blow up of the actual CT Rally Point in Norwich. Take Exit 82 off I-395 (I seem to recall the exits were renumbered and I think the new number is 14. Someone from they area confirm for me please). We've used this location before and it worked out great. There is gas and coffee right across the street if anyone needs it.

Anyone heading down Route 2 and wants to meet up with me should see the 3rd map for the meet up right in the center of Marlborough at the package store parking lot right off Exit #13. I'll be there at 6:30am and will leave at 6:40am for the Norwich Rally point with whoever shows.

:first:I will also bring the past years trophies I have, whoever took home last years trophy should bring it with them. :first:

Isn't this the same weekend as Barret Jackson at Mohegan Sun?

Day after barrett jackson is saturday. You can go to both if you want i'm not gonna go around and bribe you with my own cooking but we may try bribing you with mrs. young's famous chocolate chip cookies.

DAMMIT! i'm actually going to barrett jackson. i've always wanted to go, and since they are not too far away (for once), i couldn't resist. can't believe it's the same weekend as RICOA.

You could just spend the weekend down in the area and do both. Little gambling and drinking.

Sorry EB no need to bribe, I'm not going to the Riccoa show more cookies for you!

Im going hopefully weather is good

I saw it was the same weekend as Barrett Jackson. I'm planning on doing both. Gonna be a busy weekend. :facepalm::happyanim::sm0:

Im in ill be at Emerald Square mall

I'm in for RICOA. I'll meet at the CT rally point with Jay.

In at the mall
