Were is Suffolk Ave? Live in Yaphank no clue were this street is. Has to be the entrance to Police Headquarters or the Fire Training Grounds?

Exit 67 south off expressway about a mile down on right hand side...... Should be easy to find since there's going to be many cars on hand....

Found Suffolk Ave. on a newer Hagstrom map.. if the map is correct...

LIE exit 67 south past Police Headquarters, past Glover Dr., next right should be Suffolk Ave. ( I think this is the entrance road to go to County Jail, Fire Training Center, and Suffolk County Nursing Home)
You're right there should be enough cars around to figure out where you are going. Just be aware that the fire training center is open and actively training on this day... watch for posted signs regarding parking allowed or not. This is one place where there is a lot of police presence and we don't want to break the rules and get a bad reputation as "those racing people".
Hopefully, there will be a great turnout... I certainly hope to get there myself!

Jim, Half a mile if that, a mile will put on Horseblock almost. lol. But you'd pass it anyway. It's a big open spot and easy to see!

It's a matter of being heard. Some of the posters here have been involved for a while and know how the process goes. It is going to be a long time to get what we want (and need) and this is the first step. The County Executive has changed his "vision" and needs to know what the people (that's us) think. As a taxpayer in not only Suffolk, but Brookhaven town as well, I find his vision blurry. So I'm doing what I can to get the word out. I copied the flyer from the Top Gun message board, went to Kinko's made 100 of them and I'm passing them out at repair shops, auto parts stores, any place that "motorsports enthusiasts" might gather and see them. You can too. I know the date is a busy day. (enduro show at Riverhead, Tour show at Wall) I'm going to the rally first, then hop on the LIE to Wall.
Racerwife made a good point too. We need to behave. For some it seems to be simple. For others they need to be reminded that any activities that draw negative attention aren't a good idea. Hope to see you all there.

no burnouts??? lol yeah I know the behavior, I'm a hot rodder at heart and seen it too many times. Some jerk decides to act cool (hard to resist) and does something stupid and hits a phonepole or what ever, it's stupid. And many cruise nights get shut down from them, we're just trying to chill and have a nice time and relax and enjoy each other. Let's do it.
