Route 23 Weekly Northern NJ Tri-State Meet for European Car Owners!

Welcome to the official -TRI-DUBBIN'- club discussion thread for our weekly Northern NJ Tri-State meet for European car owners!
This weekly meet was organized based on the need for a Northern NJ Tri-State location for European car owners.
There are too many good looking European cars throughout Northern NJ and we needed a place to call home on a weekly basis.

There is a very large parking lot at the -Lowes of Butler on Route 23 North- which intersects with Morse Ave in Butler, NJ.
For GPS users, please enter the address: 1210 Route 23 North, Butler, NJ 07405

This massive parking lot always has spots open at the edge of the property running along Route 23 North.
This location provides ample lighting and great highway traffic to show off our rides and possibly attract a larger crowd.
As of 2011, we received approval from Lowes management and the towns of Butler and Kinnelon (boroughs and police departments) to use this parking lot for our weekly meets. This area of the Lowes parking lot has a walkway that connects to the Applebee's and Wendy's parking lot for us to get food or hang out at the picnic tables nearby.

WEEKLY MEETS
Officially, our weekly meets started in May of 2011 and will continue on Wednesday nights between 6:30pm - 10:00pm through the summer. The largest volume of cars show around 7:30pm. We received approval to meet here on a weekly basis with the guarantee that we would not abuse these privileges. We are in contact with the police and will call them at anytime to remove unwanted participants. Our meet is simple, pull up, park and hang out then cruise out of this parking lot. We promised Lowes and the town that we would not leave our garbage, blast music, drive fast through the parking lot or use our cars in an unsafe manner. If you can't deal, don't come. We absolutely do not tolerate burnouts, racing or immature drivers.

WEATHER RULE
If it's not raining in the area at 5:30pm we're on at 6:30pm. This gives everyone time to prepare or travel to the meet location.

PHOTO SHOOT
Please see the "DubRun" event below for our official cruise & photo / video shoot for the year.
Feel free to bring your camera equipment to help cover the event.

TRI-DUBBIN' T-SHIRTS & STICKERS
We currently have club t-shirts for sale to all members who attend the weekly meet.
We also have assorted Tri-Dubbin' club stickers readily available at our weekly meets for $3 per sticker. Please see Ryan.
