Just wanted to spread the word about this show down at UCONN.
quote:
Just wanted to let you guys know about Connecticut's automotive season opener in 5 weeks. The UConn Car Club is having its annual car show Sunday April 15th. We had a handful of Saab owners there last year and the two viggens that showed were runner-ups in the "best other" category. I myself am a proud owner of a '92 9kt and the president of the uconn car club. I've been pushing for a "best swedish award," nonetheless no one believes that there is a quality saab and volvo following. :P It would be great to see some more fellow saabers there!!

Bragging Rights
- For those of you have yet to witness one of our shows, We tend to amass some of the greatest diversity among cars under one name. Anyone who has been to a previous show can attest that theres something for everyone. Whether its Classics, Domestics, Imports, Euros or even supercars that you are into, this show embodies the presence of all the aforementioned makes. Pics from last years show
- Our show does start early but we have thought of the solution to entice early arrival, Red Bull. Red Bull will be present at the show handing out Red Bulls, and even better, Theres a great possibility that they will bring one of their vehicles (Drift Solstice, one of the F1 cars, Nascar).
Onto the Trophies:
Trophies Include: Best In Show. Best Import, Domestic, Euro, Exotic. Best Honda/Acura, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan & Other. Best Ford, Chevy, Dodge & Other. Best BMW, VW/Audi & Other. Best Offroad Truck. Best Lowrider Truck.
Sleeper Award, UC3 Choice Award, Club Participation Award, & Best Club Award.
Note: Best Club Participation Club Award goes to the club with the most participating members. Best Club Award will be awarded to the club UC3 finds to embody as the "best."
Other mentionables:
- The parking lot has a maximum capacity of around 650 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. (we broke 500 entrants by 10:30am last spring)
- Arrive with the people you want to park with, theres will not be any room to leave empty parking spaces open. (see below for parking lots outside of the show that you can congregate at prior to arrival)
- Judging will be ballot based and will begin at exactly noon. Those who arrive a minute past noon will not be susceptible to registration or judging for that matter.
- Yes, different from last year, we will have portapotties within the show perimeters. More food vendors as well.

Currently we have a handfull of Saabs planning to go, and we're joining with one of the Volvo clubs to get group parking. Please let me know if you have any questions, or if I can add you to the list to attend!
Consider this an excuse to take your winter wheels and tires off and get your car polished up for the summer!
