University of Connecticut Car Show
Hey everyone, I'm a student at the University of Connecticut and I'm apart of our Car Club chapter here. Every year we have a car show that draws a ton of cars but unfortunately not enough Lexus rides. Anyone in the Connecticut/Massachusetts area is definitely urged to come to this as we usually draw a ton of nice cars and the event is always a great time.

The UConn Car Club would like to invite you to be a part of our 8th Annual Spring Car Show on Saturday, April 9th. This year we WILL have a rain date of Sunday, April 10th. Please follow us on twitter for updates if the forecast looks questionable.
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 @ 9:00 am (Please try not to come earlier because the lot will not be ready)
Registration closes @ 12:00 pm
Gates close when the parking lot capacity has been reached (~600 cars)
Loudest Car Competition around 12:30 pm (or earlier if the lot fills)
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.
Important: This year spectator parking will be across Rt. 195 along the side of Horse Barn Hill Road. If you do not plan to register your car, please park in the spectator area. 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.
Competitions/Events:
Loudest Car- A spectator judged competition. No Pre-reg necessary. NO DIESELS OR 2-STEP, sorry guys.
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.

Ask for David T. when you get to registration, I'd love to see your whip. That goes for anyone else on here that is thinking about or deciding to go.

Bump. Two weeks or so until the show. Just a heads up and a few things,
1) There will no longer be a "loudest car" competition.
2) If you plan on coming and your car is not street legal you should consider having it brought here on a trailer and if that isn't an option it is recommended you do not attend. There will be state police at the event and we were told that if the car is not street legal then the owner will be ticketed. For information on what is street legal in Connecticut read the dialogue on this website.

Hope to see some of you there.
