What is the road trick used? If there is only going to be Woolworth trophies given out at the end, then it should not cause so much to get there in the first place.

Most guys prefer the Tappanzee for that. 87 to Mass pike to Rt 22 in NY shouldn't cost that much?? I could send you thru CT but you would spend much more in gas!

(OH still considers it a Class 2!) 80 miles in IN cost me $3.75 That just flat pisses me off! [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]!

I got my dollars on him for a money race coming up soon in Jersey. Yes Curtis and a small "Brooklyn Dodges" crew are going to swap and or race. Curtis doesn't think that a Woolworth trophy is worth all the tolls and driving also. Wish the track could gather more of a purse. So I gather that this route that you outlined is free of tolls or is it less tolls?

If not Sprain into Taconic pkwy. and up with a few zig zags. Don't think you can pull a trailer on the Taconic (at least you couldn't 20 years ago...). I know they're letting pickups on it now. Find a way to get to 684 from Brooklyn (my NY navigation is getting rusty having left there 20 years ago...) then head up 22 to 20. Yes, it's all back roads, small towns and such, but no tolls, and pretty scenic along the Berkshires...
