Hey if that doesn't work, we could do a lil meet/bbq @ my place. I'm right off of rt384, so it's close to Uconn, close to all the highways (rt84 to rt 90 for the boston guys, Rt195 to rt6 to rt384 for the cape guys, and rt 382 to rt84 to rt 91 for the ct guys.) I have tons of parking at my place because my front yard is a public park. my place
The only problem is that my bbq grill is nothing more than a fancy camp stove, but I've always got beer!

Bragging Rights
- For those of you have yet to witness one of our shows, We tend to amass some of the greatest diversity among cars under one name. Anyone who has been to a previous show can attest that theres something for everyone. Whether its Classics, Domestics, Imports, Euros or even supercars that you are into, this show embodies the presence of all the aforementioned makes. Pics from last years show
- Our show does start early but we have thought of the solution to entice early arrival, Red Bull. Red Bull will be present at the show handing out Red Bulls, and even better, Theres a great possibility that they will bring one of their vehicles (Drift Solstice, one of the F1 cars, Nascar).
Onto the Trophies:
Trophies Include: Best In Show. Best Import, Domestic, Euro, Exotic. Best Honda/Acura, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan & Other. Best Ford, Chevy, Dodge & Other. Best BMW, VW/Audi & Other. Best Offroad Truck. Best Lowrider Truck.
Sleeper Award, UC3 Choice Award, Club Participation Award, & Best Club Award.
Other mentionables:
- The parking lot has a maximum capacity of around 600 cars. Once the parking lot is full, THE GATES WILL BE CLOSED. No ifs ands or buts, plan accordingly and it should not be a problem.
- Arrive with the people you want to park with, theres will not be any room to leave empty parking spaces open. (see below for parking lots outside of the show that you can congregate at prior to arrival)
- Judging will be ballot based and will begin at exactly noon. Those who arrive a minute past noon will not be susceptible to registration or judging for that matter.
- Yes, different from last year, we will have portapotties within the show perimeters. More food vendors as well.

did someone say nearby hotel? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA welcome to cow country.
Who could tenatively make it?
I think we should be able to get at least 10, and thats with keeping it to just Mazdas (sorry jared). They havent been "active" club members yet but we have had a few MS6 and MS3 owners who have checked in in the past 6 months from around CT. Maybe they could come to pad our numbers.

actually there is a brand new hotel right on the UConn campus. Not sure on the rates but they maybe able to do a group deal if someone wants to check into it.
I can join the UConn car club and sign us up. I'm alumni anyway so it probably not a bad thing to be part of.
should I extent this to the mazda guys at ***************? They have a new england group there, to see if we can get a large CT, MA group together?
oh yeah and seanmcsean should be going with his new miata.
there's hotels in vernon/manchester galore in addition to the newer one at uconn. or you could all stay at the tolland inn b&bslug420 said:

j/k. i have no intention of entering any sort of show, i'll park far away from everything and walk over to meet you guys. i currently have a scratched bumper (from not paying attention and backing into my gf's car) and a CEL (presumably exhaust related), and i haven't washed/cleaned my car in months so who knows what else i'll discover. shows aren't my thingthat's cool, either way. i live with my parents so it might be less awkward at your place, not that my parents would care at all but still, they're parentsSlowPro98 said:

B: I have a portable charcoal grill that I could throw in the back of the truck.
Since I'm not going to have a miata to bring to the show, I'll probably ride with someone. I am not bringing my truck. That thing is just embarassing.
