ivyboy08-10-2010, 02:57 PMIt's that time of year -- when the leaves begin to change color, the air becomes crisp, and the ROAR of 100+ Toyota MR2's fill the twisty, windy roads of the lower Hudson Valley!

What: The Joe Pearlstein Memorial Bear Mountain Meet - 2010 (Official WebSite: North East MR2 | Bear Mountain 2010 (http://www.northeastmr2.com/2010))
When: Saturday, 16 October 2010. Meet at the starting point @ 9am SHARP!
Where: Sheraton Crossroads (1 International Boulevard - Mahwah, New Jersey 07495 (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=sheraton+mahwah&gl=us&hl=en&cd=1&ei=LpphTMX wFYvEowTCjMgj&ie=UTF8&view=map&cid=164253832423895 78457&iwloc=A&ved=0CIgBEKUG&sa=X)) -- 40 minutes from NYC

This is a FREE event -- consisting of a ~75 mile scenic drive through Harriman State Park and Storm King State Park, a show & shine event in West Point, NY with trophies and prizes, and the opportunity to meet plenty of other Toyota MR2 / Celica AllTrac owners and fans.

This meet is an annual event first held in 1997 by Toyota MR2 owner Joe Pearlstein. At first, Joe invited a handful of his friends with Toyota MR2's who also appreciated his love for photography and the fall foilage by driving through the twisty roads of the Catskill mountains. Joe passed away several years ago, and the event has since become a memorial for Joe. We try to make it bigger and better every year.

Last year's event drew more than 100 vehicles!

Note: Due to the anticipated turnout for this event ONLY MR2s and Celica All-Tracs will be allowed to join the groups on the scenic drive or to park in the show & shine parking lot in West Point, NY.

POTENTIAL SPONSORS: If any vendors would like to get involved with this event, please contact me if I haven't already sent you an email. ivyboy08-11-2010, 10:17 AMFAQ:

What is the meet for?
The Joe Pearlstein Memorial Bear Mountain Meet is an event that was started by Joe Pearlstein in 1997 with a handful of MR2s. Since his passing, the event has become a memorial event to honor Joe. Joe was keen on spirited driving, enjoying the fall foliage, and photography.

Why should I come?
Because it is the largest MR2 meet in the Northeast. Expect to see over 100 MR2’s!!!

What happens at the Joe Pearlstein Memorial Bear Mountain Meet?
The Bear Mountain meet is a mix of a car show and a scenic drive. We meet at the Sheraton Crossroads in NJ. We take a drive through some very spirited back roads all the way up to West Point, NY. We then take a break for lunch as well as have a Show & Shine event that is judged by the owners! There is also a prize ceremony held after the judging has commenced. At this point, we take a scenic drive over some more spirited roads and make our way to the top of Bear Mountain. We will watch the sun set here and then head to our final destination for dinner back near the Sheraton Crossroads.

Who is invited?
Anyone who is in an MR2 or Celica AllTrac! All participants must be in an MR2 or Alltrac for the scenic drive portion of the event. Due to the anticipated turnout, we can not allow other platforms to join the groups or park in the Show & Shine lot. This will be STRICTLY enforced. With 100+ cars, it becomes very difficult to organize various platforms.

How much does it cost?
NOTHING! Not including the purchase price of your MR2 or Celica Alltrac.

What time should I be at the Sheraton Crossroads?
Be ready to go at the Sheraton at 9:00am!

What to bring?
Bring a full tank of gas and a mechanically sound MR2 or AllTrac. We don’t want any breakdowns so please make sure your vehicle is up to par. You will also need money for breakfast and lunch or you may bring food from home. West Point has some great places to eat and will be with in walking distance of our meeting location.
