It's that time of year -- when the leaves begin to change color, the air becomes crisp, and the ROAR of 75+ Toyota MR2's fill the twisty, windy roads of the lower Hudson Valley!
The Joe Pearlstein Bear Mountain Run (North East MR2) is a FREE event -- consisting of a 119 mile road rally, a car show with prizes, and the opportunity to meet plenty of other Toyota MR2 owners and fans.
When: 10 October 2009
Where: Starts at the Sheraton Mahwah (1 International Boulevard - Mahwah, New Jersey 07495)
The Bear Mountain Run is an annual event that has been going on for more than 12 years. Toyota MR2 owner Joe Pearlstein used to host the event -- inviting a handful of his friends with Toyota MR2 and Celica AllTrac's to go driving through the twisty and windy roads of the lower Hudson Valley to enjoy the fall foliage. Joe passed away several years ago, and the event has since become a memorial to Joe.
Last year's event (
The 2008 Joe Pearlstein Memorial Bear Mountain Run on Vimeo) drew more than 75 vehicles! This year, we would like to have over 100 MR2's -- the largest MR2 meet in the Northeast! There were also more than $10,000 in prizes for MR2 and Celica AllTrac owners that were donated by vendors.
