The UConn Car Club would like to invite you to be a part of our 6th Annual Spring Car Show, on Sunday, April 19th. Unfortunately this year we do not have an extra date set aside for rain. The show will be on no matter the weather.

What you need to know:

Location:
W-Lot Commuter Parking Lot on the Storrs Campus
Directly off Storrs Rd (rt. 195)
Storrs CT, 06269
(see map below)

Hours:
Gates open @ 9:30 am
Registration closes @ 12:00 pm
Gates close when the parking lot capacity has been reached
Trophies by 2:00-3:00 pm

Price:
Free to spectators
$10 dollars to show

Parking:
There will be no pre-registration. If your group would like to park together; arrive early and drive in together as a group. The first map attached below lists parking lots in the area and their locations so you can meet as a group before arriving at the show to drive in together.

Competitions/Events:
Loudest
We MAY have scales available to weigh and corner weight vehicles

Bragging Rights:
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 there's something for everyone, including Classics, Domestics, Imports, Euros and even Supercars. All makes, models and price ranges of vehicles are welcome.

Trophies:
Classes are listed below. There will be a 1st place and runner up for each category. We are debating a 3rd place trophy as well due to the large number of entrants.

Import FWD

Import AWD

Euro FWD

Supercar/Exotic Sports Car

Specialty Awards:

Note: Best Club Participation Club Award goes to the club with the most participating members. Best Club Award will be awarded to the club that UC3 deems to have the highest quality entrants in respect to the quality of the cars and the attitude of its members. The Type R award goes to the most ridiculously modded car. Bring your cardboard body kits!

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. Just follow the link http://www.uconncarclub.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=18 and enter the password which is UC3. You can also find the planning forum at the top of our forum page 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.

Sponsors/Vendors:
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or vendor, please contact the club for further details by email at uconncarclub@gmail.com
Space is limited but arrangements can be made.

Please forward any further questions or comments also to uconncarclub@gmail.com

Thank you and we hope to see you there!

Alot of shows now aday's lean towards imports or is it just me :shrug:, I'm just not into that type of crowd, although if you bring a contour to classic car show (even though they say all makes and years) they look at you funny :laugh:. Sunday looks like a nice day for it but I'll be up at NED for some drags and shoot out with friends. My car won't be there but I want to get some pointers and check out the action. Have fun!!
 
yes I show like this will have alot more imports and that feel then other shows. the ccsu show isn't as bad as the uconn show.

yeah I get a funny look every time I go to Marks for the cruise night. all makes and model welcome, but they try to put me with the imports or tuners .... I just don't listen or tell them where i want to park :laugh:
 
insurance on the Merkur starts friday. If I can get it reg'd in time, I'll head to the show with it lol Hopefully I can get the cracked windshield replaced in time!

are you sure you even need an inspection? has the car been in state the last time it was registared?

when I brought the SVT in from out of state no inspection was needed. just emissions before going to DMV to registar the car. and I don't believe you can fail emissions for a cracked windshield. I know ctmystique was able to registar is SVT with a cracked windshield...

oh no, there isn't a safety inspection, just emissions like you said. I just don't want to go to the show with a cracked windshield lol

I was upset to find out that I had to get regular plates, THEN i can apply for early american ones for 92 bucks more. Sheesh!
 
early american plates? how do you get those? don't they make you exempt from emissions? or is this for another car? and btw brapple, this was the "whose going" thread..give me a call when you figure out if your going or not.
 
for anyone intersted in showing there is a group of us that are meeting at Big Y at 8:30 tomorrow morning.
