The Uconn Car Club is going to have it's 4th annual car show on Sunday April 9th at the University of Connecticut. The show is open to all types of cars and trucks.

I don't have an rx-8 yet but hope to get one soon but would love to see some rx-8s at the show and everyone could enter as a club and try to win the club award. Im also going to posting this on rx7club.com so everyone could enter as a rotary team or indivdual fourms however you guys want. Either way I hope you can make it. Last year we had almost 300 cars this year we want to get over 400, even some ferraris and a Porsche GT2 made it.

Registration will begin at 10am and entrance will be $10 or less.(probably $5)

Hutchroro

we can change some of the awards add some more we still have lots of time just that last year there where not very many mazda's so they dont have a category. But if there was alot of interest we coudl probly pick up another trophy and class

chrism

if weather permits i dont mind goin up there....not like my car is really that show worthy but its worth a shot.....are there any fee's involved?

Hutchroro

Sorry i forgot to mention it will be $10 dollars or less to enter I say less becsue it will probly be $5 and dont worry about your car not being show worthy the whole thing is jsut for fun its not like its hot import nights or any thing like that its just to have fun show off yoru car alittle and look at other peoples cars.

As long as it's not during spring weekend I can show up. :D My car is mostly stock, just had clear corners and fender strakes added. I went to UConn and have a brother there. Oh yeah and we just made #1 today, about time!

I'll be there with my bone stock red rx-8 just to represent the rotary. No chance of me winning something.

Ya don't worry its not on spring weekend thats two weeks later.

chrism

dont worry mine is kinda stock too.....sort of.....and i will only enter if you promise me that best in show will not go to a civic with lambo doors, 7 different colors of paint, more ice than best buy and enough neons to make a dance club jealous!

Huhwha

Hmm - might be interesting. Haven't been back since I graduated there in '79. Too far to go though - especially in crappy springtime weather.

Good luck with it!

Hutchroro

I can promise best in show will not go to a civic with lambo doors althought there was one last year that had them. Last year we had everone who entered the show would get a ballot and vote but its to hard to control and count that we are having judging for most classes but best in show will still be by a vote of everyone in the show.

Hutchroro

Thanks for the kind words but you should consider coming out where thinking about adding a farthest traveled award.
