Jeff:


Does this date coinside with the Elm St. Car Show? I wanted to go to this show last year but I think the Crusin' Elm St. one was on the same date. I will check and see if this show falls on the same date. I'm the President of the local Miata Club, the M'sters Miata Club, and could get a bunch of us to attend. Is this open to Miata's too?

Please let me know and I will check the dates of the Elm St. Car Show.

I'll be in Michigan that weekend for the ProSolo. Can you move the date for me? KTHXBYE. :D

Jeff Torrey

Kevin- Yes the Miata Club is welcome. I posted yesterday to the NH SCCA group and let them know about the show. Many of them track Miata's.

If you have a Track Car you can trailer the cars to the show. Please come early before the parking lots fill up. It will make unloading much easier.

I don't know what the date is for Elm St.

KTH- I can't move the date, but good luck @ ProSolo

Thanks for the update Jim. My local Miata club is having their annual meeting coming up on Feb 5th and I will mention this car show.

Thanks!

Spin9k and I went to the show last year and I have to say that there were some pretty incredible cars on display. They covered the gamut from Vipers to NSXs to Ferraris to BMWs to Porsches... After hearing the list of cars we were a little hesitant about showing off our RX-8s but everybody made us feel right at home and we had a great time.

Speaking of Vipers I don't think that I have ever seen that many in one place. If I remember right, there was a supercharged Viper which had a dyno sheet in the window proudly proclaiming 800 WHP!!! Jeff, wasn't that your car?

Jeff Torrey

Captain- No that car belongs to Jerry Colpitts. He does the fundraising for the show. My car was the 1992 Car. I parked it out on the lawn by the stables...1992 was the first year Dodge built the Viper, 285 cars were made. I own #192...I could never supercharge that car.

Spin9k

Yes we did have a great time last year. All the cars there were something special. Here is the thread about it, and pictures of Speed Racer's and my cars... sitting there and looking ever so exotic, yes we fit right in and got our share of admiring attention.

I hope this year we have more 8s ... it was well worth it... a very enjoyable show

"bump" This is getting close, can we please get a sticky on this - thanks !

Hey guys, Jeff posted this just a bit early in the season, but the event is quickly here. It would be great to have a big RX-8 group there - all you need do is show up!! Jeff is a big fan of our cars, so don't be shy and think you don't belong....our 8's are exotic and it is a great time, the only prep is a good detailing of your car... and the crowd really appreciated our cars last year... we got people standing around and oooing and asking all kinds of questions

For those who have never attended, each car gets a number upon arrival. After all the cars are registered and in place (last year 140 spectacular cars showed - likely 200 this time around!) in their respective separated out class area, the entire place is then open to the public. Each person entering gets a ballot, a pencil, and they start going through the cars. the cars in each class get ranked by the public.

BTW This wasn't a day in a hot parking lot either, the Bud brewery is set in a peacefull green rural area of NH. The cars park on a beautiful grassy area, lots of trees, so shady spots are available. There are paved walk/driveways around, a huge Clidesdale Barn nearby you (and the kids/significant other if you bring them) can go in and see the horses (they are massive animals).

You meanwhile, would have brought a comfy chair, some food and drink, and are sitting nearby your car to answer questions and show off your detailed beauty, hood, doors open if you wish, or not...you can have a sign like at tech day explaining your car, etc.

Off and on, you can wander through all the cars yourself, fill out your ballot, talk to people with cars like you dream and read about in the mags. Last year people came from New York, New Jersy, Conn, RI, Main, Mass, and further with just amazing machinery.

I took a ton of pics (also see Jeff's picture file in an earlier post above) [here are some of them http://www.spin9k.com/html/exotic_car_show.html], this year I'm taking video to get ALL the detail of the amazing exotic/historic vehicles on display up close. You've never seen the likes of the cars you'll see here, that's a guarantee!!

BTW, I swept First Place in our class, Speed Racer swooped in and grabbed Runner Up! And check out the cool 2 ft tall trophy I can show off with my RX-8 when I need some bragging rights! It could be yours this year. :D

What Spin said. The only thing I would add is... we are raising money for Make-a-Wish.

Registration is $10.00... that covers your donation and helps pay for the awards, mailings, etc.

I hope to see you there.

I'd be very interested in this, but have never done one of these before. The eight is a beautiful car, but I use mine as a daily driver and it's definitely not a show car.
What do I have to do to sign up?

Spin9k

Aside from showing up, donating $10 to Make-a-Wish, you should clean your car as best as you want. Mods are great, but a clean car is enough. It's a casual show and shine event, where people certainly are proud of the vehicles, and it shows. The interested public and others there are the 'judges', but it's just for fun.

I think of the my RX-8 as an affordable exotic, a fun car to own and drive, but totally unique in the world. That's no small feat! It's great to meet others who feel the same about whatever special they drive in a non-competitive atmosphere. By that I mean with classes, you're not competing directly with Ferraris, for example, but there they are right next door! It's a blast.

I'm right down the road... it's still a ways off, but I suspect I'll be attending this year.

Spin9k

dwill9578

hey Spin9k I'm there, we should caravan up. With a little luck I'll have my Revi intake and R&B exhaust by then. e-mail or give me a buzz and we'll figure it out. I will have my car so clean, surgery could be performed in my vehicle. I'll try to get my interior as clean as my engine bay I love clean!!!!!!!!!

Spin9k

Good idea, we could have a "Get Clean" day just before the event :D and really cut the grease and grime... then we'll parade over together, all spic and span.

dwill9578

sounds good to me, I also need to figure out where to have my intake & exhaust installed?? is anyone else going that you aware of?

Spin9k

WOW :D Those are some amazing pictures in the new site's picture gallery Jeff - I forgot how beautiful all those exotic cars really were last year


Can't wait for this years event! :D

Oranje

I'm going to pencil this in and make a real effort to attend. Do we have one of each color yet? :D

Cheers,
Oranje

Spin9k

Good deal Oranje, looking forward to seeing your color there, and I've added a 'color' to the list of attendees cars. But we need more colors! at least one, and hopefully several of each and every color available. Now if we could just get a Blue, a Shinka and a Yellow, plus a Pearl too

You guys are out there, I know you are :D

Spin9k

I view from another club... the White Mountain Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America's take on last years Northeast Exotic Car Show in Merrimack, NH. I can't wait to see them again too!

Finally painted the rust on my rotor hubs knowing this was around the corner. Here's hoping for a sunny weekend!
