As always, parking is limited at UConn, but we will try our best to accommodate all spectators. Police Officers and club members will be there to direct you.

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.

We Need Your Input

We have a forum setup on our website where you can discuss anything show related WITHOUT having to register. Just follow the link here and enter the password which is UC3 (all caps). 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.

[thor'svr4]

I go to Uconn so it i'll def be there with my Vr4. i think about 8-10 3S's showed up last year but hopefully more will show up this time!!!!

[Broomfield Racing]

Will try to be there again. Was great the past few years. This is the big spring meet for the New England area.

[Dark-Hawk]

I go to Uconn so it i'll def be there with my Vr4. i think about 8-10 3S's showed up last year but hopefully more will show up this time!!!!

It's kind of crazy .. the second or third year of the show there were 20-25 3Ses that came to the show. Dwindled from there on unfortunately!

I'll hopefully be able to make it up in time for the show this year, but it will be tight with my work schedule.

[atarirx]

I should be able to make it this year.

[CoreyB]

Looks like a real possibility for me.

[Valhallaz]

Dunno if the TT is gonna be together in time, but if not, I'll bring the NA. It's never been....

[CoreyB]

Are we all planning on meeting at a parking lot, or do you think if I just arrive around 9:00AM I will be able to park with everyone?

[Valhallaz]

If you're there at 9:00 or shortly therafter, there won't be a problem parking together. We do the same spot every year.

To the north of where the show's gonna be, (on Storrs road) about 2/3 of a mile on the left is a big closed down cowboy bar, don't remember the name of it offhand, but it's easy to spot. If you get there before 9, there's no place to wait, so when we get there early, that's where we've hung out. And we'll prolly get there a bit early. Feel free to join us there if you get there before the gates open.
