2015 Euro Philly Cheesesteak Run - Saturday, May 9, 2015

[Tonk]

This will be our sixth Annual Euro Philly Cheesesteak Run! Over the last five years attendance has been strong and we expect nothing less this year.

We would like to keep the bulk of the cars "Euro" related (BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, etc) but if you have friends with nice cars that are outside of those parameters, certainly feel free to invite them. The only reason we're not inviting all makes and models is to keep it from growing to hundreds of cars (which it has been in the past).

Parking - the best place to park is the large parking across from Tony Lukes, under I-95. There are at least a few hundred parking spaces so parking will not be an issue. There is also a small parking lot directly next to Tony Lukes for about 20 cars.

Count me in.

Bump!

Less than one week away! Some people have asked me if the construction on I-95 near the Fort McHenry Tunnel will affect traffic. I drove the route over the weekend, and traffic was pretty normal for the most part. The lanes become split in a few spots, so traffic was moving slower in those areas, but I don't think it will be necessary to divert the caravan over to I-895.

I noticed the road was a little rougher in a couple spots, as to be expected with construction, but I don't see it being an issue with anyone's cars unless you are really slammed. There were a few bumps, but no road debris.

See you Saturday!

There is a caravan meetup for NoVA, details as follows:
Meet at Maggiano's at 8:45am, leave at 9:15am sharp to head up to College Park.

2001 International Drive
Tyson's Galleria II
McLean, VA 22102

See you all tomorrow!

Had a great turnout this year, despite the wet roads in the morning. I'd say there were somewhere around 150 cars at Tony Luke's in Philly. There were a small group of people that were doing some burnouts and donuts in the parking lot, which I certainly don't condone, but we didn't get kicked out...so that's something, lol.

Here are some of the best photos I've collected from various people:
