The UConn Car Club would like to invite you to be a part of our 10th Annual Spring Car Show on Sunday, April 14th (Raindate: April 21st). Please follow us on twitter (http://twitter.com/uconncarclub) or the Facebook event page (https://www.facebook.com/events/600924469922804/) for updates.

What you need to know:

Location:
RENTSCHLER FIELD, EAST HARTFORD CT
Directly off I-84, use the Silver Lane entrance
(see map below)

Gates will remain open until the beginning of awarding Trophies
Trophies by 1:30-2:00 pm

Price:
$10 per car to show,
$3 per car for spectator parking in separate lot.

Parking:
Due to our move to Rentschler Field for this year’s show, we will no longer be limited to ~600 participants!! If you can make it to the show, you can enter!

There will be no pre-registration. If your group would like to park together; arrive early and drive in together as a group. Due to the nature of Rentscher Field’s parking lots, we cannot guarantee parking with friends, etc. If you want to park together, make sure to arrive together.

Important: This year 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, you will be asked to park in the spectator area. Police Officers and club members will be there to direct you.

We Need Your Input

- 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 other amenities.

glad to hear it.

just to be clear in-case anyone didn't catch it in the first post, this isn't at the regular UConn spot. instead of the show being at Storrs it will be in East Hartford so that we may accommodate more cars!

Looks like I will likely be going. I should be there with my Stealth and a 92 VR4, which is for sale.

The VR4 will be brought in on a trailer and then driven to the parking spot in the show. Is there anything I need to know about bring a car down on a trailer? Is there going to be room in the spectator lot to unload the car, then bring it to the show?

Also, I have a bunch of parts I could sell, including a set of tires, should I bring some stuff or is this not really the show for that?

Rentschler Field is huge, I'm sure there would be a place to unload the car off the trailer, but is it really worth hauling it all the way down? Get someone to drive one of the cars for you if you want them both there. I wouldn't bring parts with you unless you work out a deal before hand... Check the other site, there is more activity there for this event. Hopefully it will be good turnout again!

Im sorry for such a late reply.
bringing a car in on a trailer shouldnt be any issue at all. I will double check and post/PM you with the answer in a few hrs.

Ok i just verified that trailers are all set. there will be a separate area when you pull in for people who trailered there cars to unload. when you pull into the show the parking directors should point you to the trailer unloading zone. once unloaded you can drive the cars over to the show area.

Thanks for looking into it, its looking like only the Stealth will be going now though. My dad was going to trailer down the VR4 but is having knee surgery tomorrow so that isnt going to happen.

There hasn't been a lot of activity on the boards but in speaking to people it appears we should have a nice turnout again. I'll be a bit late getting there, probably not until after 10am, so please save some spots! Looking forward to seeing everyone again.
