Hi Keith and the rest of CTZCC,

I'm a senior car club member here at UConn, and just want to really encourage you all to attend our show. As word spreads about the quality and pride we take in our annual event, the show seems to get better every year. We'd especially love to have a diverse / strong showing of Z cars at our spring show.

On a personal note, I have had my 350Z since 2004, and am interested in being a part of a new (to me) community. I will definitely check for club meetings and events to attend. Finishing school and looking for a job is taking up much of my time at the present moment, but I will definitely make the effort.

-Andrew

Andrew,

Thanks for posting and please join our club officially on our main page and post photos of your Z in our members rides area.

Our Member, Mike Rosann, has been to your show and suggested we try to show up in numbers this year, so we are going to give it a shot.

Our next meeting is this Wednesday in New Canaan CT 7pm - 9pm. More information on this forum.

I also noticed a number of guys on my350Z.com are putting together a group. I will post on thier page to see if all the Z's can show up together.

Keith and fellow CTZCC attendees,

UC3 (UConn Car Club) encourages car clubs to arrive as closely as possible to when the gates open such that the members of the car club will be able to park in the same section as one another. There is no pre-registration necessary. I would strongly recommend arriving prior to the gates opening, just to be safe. Maybe a half hour early??? It should not be a problem keeping you all together if you are one of the first groups to get there (obviously).

Please Note: There will be another Z car club there looking to win the "Best Car Club" trophy (or second place plaque - if we are still going to do that this year). They came in second last year, behind CTSubie. They go by the name T350Gz, and they really want this trophy again. This is the Massachusetts-based club that I am no longer officially a part of, but still plan to attend some of their events this season because I am personal friends with at least two of them. They consist of 350Zs and Infiniti G35s, and have members in CT, MA, RI, and NY. Overall, they're a pretty nice group of guys, so it should be some healthy competition.

Here is the thread I started on My350Z organizing their club's appearance at the UConn Car Show. http://my350z.com/forum/north-east/4210 ... -19th.html As of now, they have 17+ cars.

I think last year UC3 gave out two awards for Best Car Club.I believe it was a 1st place trophy, and 2nd place plaque. CTSubie will most likely walk away with the first place trophy. The master post on the UC3 website only indicates one Best Club trophy, but I think CTZCC's aim should be to secure that second place plaque. Last I heard CTSubie is expecting 70 cars to show this year...yes....seventy. That's gonna be hard for anyone to compete with!!

If you have any questions about the upcoming show, post them in this thread and I will answer them for you.

-Andrew

The UConn Car Club would like to invite you to be a part of our 6th Annual Spring Car Show, on Sunday, April 19th. Unfortunately this year we do not have an extra date set aside for rain. The show will be on no matter the weather.

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)

Trophies by 2:00-3:00 pm

Price:

$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.

Competitions/Events:
Loudest
We MAY have scales available to weigh and corner weight vehicles

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.

Trophies:
Classes are listed below. There will be a 1st place and runner up for each category. We are debating a 3rd place trophy as well due to the large number of entrants.

The Type R award goes to the most ridiculously modded car. Bring your cardboard body kits!

We Need Your Input:
Have any ideas for our show? Anything from previous shows you would like included or excluded? Any questions, concerns or comments for us? Please let us know! We have a forum setup on our website where you can discuss anything show related WITHOUT having to register. Just follow the link http://www.uconncarclub.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=18 and enter the password which is UC3. You can also find the planning forum at the top of our forum page http://www.uconncarclub.com/forum/. The only way to make our show better is from the input we get and we'll do our best to incorporate as many ideas as possible.

Other Mentionables:
- The parking lot has a maximum capacity of around 600 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.
- Arrive with the people you want to park with. There will not be any room to leave empty parking spaces open. (see pics below for parking lots outside of the show that you can meet prior to arrival)
- Judging will be done by the attendees and will begin at exactly Noon. Those who arrive past Noon will not be allowed to register for judging.
- We will have porta-potties within the show as well as food and background music.

Sponsors/Vendors:
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or vendor, please contact the club for further details by email at uconncarclub@gmail.com

I think my son's club, True Ride Racing, won that award a few years ago. I remember a similar trophy kicking around the house. I rained that day so the turnout was low.

Regards,
Phil

Must have been two years ago. That was our last rained-out show.

Last year we had a rain date just in case that we didn't end up using.

This year, the University would only give us Sunday, the 19th, so it better not rain!
