I'll see if any of the UC3 guys are going and we can meet up at Horsebarn Hill again and roll down,

just checked the schedule at work today and i'm stuck working 1:30-close i tried to switch to the morning shift but none of my co-workers could switch:bang:

joe i'll be up in manchester on may 12th at NA Motorsports for some vw meet and i was supposed to get some parts maybe while i'm there. i can meet up afterwards, it ends at like 4 or you can swing on by when i'm there and pick them up. i'm gonna be at bristol dyno @10 right before the meet so i'd say i'll definately be at NAM between 12 and 4 though.:thumbup:

Ok guys here's all the official info including directions and a full list of award categories.


The Central Car Club would like to present to you the invitation of coming down and being a part of the Central Car Club's 8th Annual Spring Car Show, on Sunday, April 29th, 2007.

Location:
off of Ella Grasso Boulevard
New Britain CT 06051
Lot TBA, but it will be off of Ella Grasso, so the directions will be basically the same.

Time:
Registration Opens @ 2pm
Registration Closes @ 6:30pm
Events occurring between 6-8pm
Trophy Presentation at 7:30pm

Price:
- Free to Spectate
- $5 Registration Fee

Events:
Pizza Eating Contest, more events TBA.

The Loot:
GM Award, Mopar Award, Nissan/Infiniti Award, Mitsubishi/DSM Award, Subaru Award, Honda/Acura Award, Audi/VW Award, Euro/Other Award, Toyota/Lexus/Scion Award, Ford Award, Bike Award, Off-road Truck Award, Sport Truck Award, Show Car Award, People's Choice, Exotics Award, Muscle Car Pre 1973 Award, Classics Pre 1964 Award, Mazda Award, Club Award Size & Speed, Sleeper

Other notes:
- This year's theme is Gone in 60 Seconds..and no, no one's car is going to be stolen at the show, haha
- The show is later in the day this year, so sleep in, wash the car and come on by, no need to be up real early...we're trying a night show for the first time, and we are working on some elements of the show that normally couldn't be undertaken during the daytime.
- Judging has been simplified and hopefully idiot proofed, but C3 has proven that anything is possible...
- The student center will be open during the event for restrooms/vending.
- We're trying something new with the club award this year. One will be based on size, but the other will be based on power. Bring dyno sheets, timeslips, etc. This award will be for the fastest club in attendance.
-There is a good chance that the show will take place on top of the North Garage. There are some speedbumps there, so if your car is ridiculously low, LET ME KNOW, and we can make provisions to accomodate you.

Sponsors/Vendors
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or vendor to the show please contact me for further details. Space is limited but arrangements can be made.

Please forward any questions or comments to the club e-mail, ccsucarclub@gmail.com, or reply in this thread. Thanks, hope to see you guys there!

I helped run the CCSU car show 3 years ago. I still have my crew/staff shirt. Not as many cars as there is now. Someone must have turned it around. I went last year, and got stuck in a crappy spot. I wanted to park with the other focus cars, but they wouldn't let me. I got stuck in front of a loud radio booming at me, so I couldn't sit by my car. My husband and I towed the car in since it wasn't registered. Radio is too loud.
 
yeah this year i'm gonna hafta agree, blasting your stereo next to people who dont appreciate it should be frowned upon. this jackass next to heather was blaring some crazy gangsta rap **** at obnoxious levels. it was that POS honda. oh, right, "which" POS honda! hah! it was riced out and purple i think.
 
I remember that. Hopefully its better this year.

Well I am planning on attending. Give me a call on the cell.

This year we've taken a more performance base around our show so we're hoping to minimize the amount of cars with "bumpin' audio". Also if you guys roll in together it'll be much easier for you to find a spot among the other focii. Blasting stereos will be completely forbidden also, due to the fact that we've had numerous sound complaints from the surrounding neighborhood and also since we have our own DJ there is absolutely no need for multiple systems playing and droning each other out. If anyone has an issue with someone playing their music too loud if at all let me know personally and I will deal with it.
 
Okay, it looks like myself, Joe & Adam so far. What time are you guys planning on getting there?

We're thinking of leaving around two, so three-ish at the show.
Well, you know me, I will more than likely be there earlier. Are you coming with the UCONN car club again? If not LMK if I need try and get some spaces saved for you and Adam.....

Okay, have to head to be. Gotta get up early to give the car a bath, etc.....
 
ya'll aren't leaving until THAT late? i'll talk to my wife see if i'm allowed to step out for a few hours (ie, can she handle stuff..)

no who am i kidding ihave more company coming over today.
 
Yeah, I dont want to get there too early. An hour is reasonably late.

Mark, if you can save a couple spaces next to yours, do it. This year I'm bringing a chair and extra water.
