We Need Your Input
Have any ideas for our show? Anything from previous shows you would like included or excluded? Any questions, concerns or comments for us? Please let us know! We have a forum setup on our website where you can discuss anything show related WITHOUT having to register.

You can also find the planning forum at the top of our forum page here (http://www.uconncarclub.com/forum). The only way to make our show better is from the input we get and we'll do our best to incorporate as many ideas as possible.
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. There will not be any room to leave empty parking spaces open. (see pics below for parking lots outside of the show that you can meet prior to arrival)
- Judging will be done by the attendees and will begin at exactly Noon. Those who arrive past Noon will not be allowed to register for judging.
- We will have porta-potties within the show as well as food and background music.

[slvrstrk04]

[Joe]

I attended uconn and went to this show a couple of times to look around. Only one year was there a bad turnout, and it was due to a ton of rain. Hope to make this, since now I own a car that it worth showing off. :lol:

[05Rex]

hopefully ill be able to drive by this. if not ill have to find a driver for my car.

[Bigzach88]

this was a goodtime last year except this year i will put on sunblock even if there is an overcast cause i got BURNT last time but not half as bad as adam and his lovely wife

[Quadsbc]

^^ I think I reached lobster status by the end of the day, hopefully this year I wont blow my tranny on the way home.

[xxsubiechicxx]

ill prolly b there..went a couple years ago but without my car

[Richie]

this time around I am bringing some badazz seating arrangements, none of that pavement BS like last year. Although it was fun sitting on the ground with Loffer's dog. I think it peed on my hand a little, but I could be confusing that with another time/place/dog/hand.

[Kojak77]

Is this a dry event?

:turborush::turborush::turborush::turborush:

[05Rex]

im pretty sure it is but im a big fan of the old dunkin donuts cup

[Richie]

i dont belive you can openly drink but being someone who hasnt been 21 that long i know htere are ways to disguise drinking in public:devil:

[Abington Rally]

Never been to one, sounds like it would be fun, gonna try and make it. Quick question, do the UConn cops bust balls about loud exhaust/obnoxious looking cars?

[Richie]

nope, that's pretty much what the whole event is about actually...:lol:

Only not during the event day.. I live 10 mins from the place and refuse to drive through it because of that reason lol

However during the event all they do is just look at you :rofl:

Good to hear, I got the hairy eyeball from a couple of them last fall when I was on campus with the rally car. :)

[2.5guy]

I could probably make the 20 min drive out there, I do anyway on Thursdays for nickle pitchers :spin:

[Abington Rally]

Noah, you bringin the Evo?

[Richie]

they still do that?! man it's been years.

[AExiOn]

Yeah, they are used to seeing rusted hondas/acuras from willimantic who are way too fast and furious for any rally/track car :rofl: :rofl:



BTW who wants to hit up DQ afterwards in willimantic to get some laughs at some locals who will stare you down in a 20 year old car with burning oil coming out the exhaust with a lovely two tone primer grey color :D

Who knows how lucky we will get, some one may ask to race you for money, or there will be some crazy guy walking down the street with a sign over him that says JESUS SAVES! all while yelling out crazy stuff.


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
am serious, this has happened to me before

[05Rex]

i would be down for some DQ afterwards.

cant wait to hear the only beat that all reggaeton has.

also i was gonna bring up where everyone would like to meet before the show so we can all drive in together?

[Kojak77]

I can't make this event...

however...

Bidwell later in the evening would be a nice way to close out the day. I know it's not as much fun as making fun of ricers at DQ, but it's close.

:spin::spin::spin:

[Bigzach88]

<- in favor of bidwell wings after a hopefully nice day in the sun

[05Rex]

bidwell sounds good to me. it would look pretty cool to have that whole front little parking lot to ourselves.

[HoetheJoe]

i am looking forward to not going to this event

[Kojak77]

[Richie]

I don't think the logistics of the morning will work out for picking you up, but I'd like to take off somewhat early too, so if you're looking to leave early you can escape with me. We can discuss macroeconomics and conservative non-violent political activism during the drive. :squint:

[Richie]

I ended up getting talked into going. It was cold. Sgt. Pepperoni's + Ted's packy FTMFW


On the way home I got to put out the engine flames of a 466hp monster subie with a bottle of coke. Came with a free ride home in a tow truck!
Was a pretty good rush explaining the situation to a dozen cops and firefighters with a solid buzz going. :spin:
