I'm pleased to post this upcoming event to be held in Stratford CT on September 19th, 2021.
For those of you who can't make the trip up to Thompson Speedway on Saturday, September 18th which located in the NE corner of the state, there is another venue down in Fairfield County that, to me, would be equally as fun the following day. I am planning to go to both events with my Z and would love to have a bunch of club members join me there, again weather permitting.
The car show entry fee is a mere $10 which goes towards supporting the ongoing restoration efforts at the air museum facility and it's aircraft and gets you into the museum. One of the most iconic planes being restored is the infamous F4U Corsair which used to sit on a pedestal at the entrance to Sikorsky Airport. Weather and birds have taken a toll on the Corsair over the years and without this restoration it would have definitely perished forever.
Please Note: Children under 18 cannot enter the workshop and storage area due to Army regulations.
Stratford is the home town where these Corsairs were built. It also is the home of where Igor Sikorsky flew the first functional helicopter. The show runs from 10AM to 4PM, judging and awards to be completed by 2PM. There should be some interesting cars, planes and motorcycles to see. The Windsock restaurant is on site and the famous Cricket hot dog stand is just up the road. Click on the link below for further details on the show and museum.

If anyone wants to meet me at 9AM Sunday the 19th at the Heavenly Donut on RT 34 just west of the parkway in Derby CT, please let me know. We can caravan to the show together!
