Default UConn Car Show

It's that time again! I'm a little late on posting but here's all the details. Invite everyone and their mother and let's fill this place like we did last year.

I may not have my S as the motor is in pieces and I'm awaiting Darton sleeve installation. Hoping for good motorcycle weather if it's not ready in time.

The UConn Car Club would like to invite you to be a part of our 12th Annual Spring Car Show on Sunday, April 12th, 2015 (Raindate: Sunday, April 19th). Please join the Facebook event page for the most recent updates our show - https://www.facebook.com/events/1055...an_user_joined

What you need to know:

Location: RENTSCHLER FIELD, EAST HARTFORD CT Directly off of I-84; please use the Silver Lane entrance to the parking lots. See map below for details.

Hours:
Gates open to all @ 9:00 am (Please do not show up earlier because the lot will NOT be open) Registration for show cars closes @ 2:00 pm Gates will remain open until the beginning of awarding trophies Trophies to be announced by 4:00 pm

Price: $15 per car to park in show parking (no pre-registration required) $5 per car for spectator parking in a separate parking lot

Participation Policy: Please keep cars and music turned off when parked. Burnouts, donuts, and excessive engine revving are strictly prohibited. Dangerous / risky driving while arriving or leaving the premises will likewise not be tolerated. East Hartford Police as well as State Police detail officers will be on-site for the duration of the event and will be ticketing. Also, per request of local police and facility management, we must ask that all attending the event stay away from the chain-link fences between the event’s entrance/exit and spectator lot next to Silver Lane. Your cooperation is appreciated. Participate at your own risk.

Parking: Like previous years, the size of Rentschler Field allows us to accommodate virtually any number of cars for showing. Nobody will be turned away before 4:00pm. There will be no pre-registration. Due to the nature of Rentscher Field’s parking lots and the sheer volume of cars attending, we cannot guarantee parking with friends, clubs, groups, etc. If you want the best chance at parking together, make sure to arrive together. Please note that even this does NOT guarantee that we will be able to grant all parking requests due to the extreme volume of traffic anticipated. Important: Spectator parking will be across in a separate lot outside of the lots for registered show cars. If you do not plan to register your car for showing, you will be asked to park in the spectator area. Police officers and club members will be available to direct you.

All Cars Welcome! For those who have yet to see one of our shows, we tend to amass some of the greatest diversity of cars in one place. Anyone who has been to a previous show can attest that there's something for everyone, including Classics, Domestics, Imports, Euros and even Supercars. All makes, models and price ranges of vehicles are welcome.

Looks like sunny and 62 currently, let's hope it stays like that!

Sadly my engine is not back from the machine shop yet so the Yamaha R6 will be making an appearance.
