Hey racers,
The key thing to remember is NO PARKWAYS! I know it looks tempting, but there are low bridges and State Troopers with little or no sense of humor. For traffic reasons and load sizes, we find that Route 95 to the George Washington Bridge Go over it, stay on 95 which is called the Cross Bronx Expressway at that point, till you see the Throgs Neck Bridge which you will go over to route 295 south which is the Clear View Expressway, do not get on the Cross Island "Parkway", take 295 south to route 495 east which is the Long Island Expressway to exit 63 if your staying at the Radisson
