ColinsLaw.Org ROAD RALLY & CAR SHOW UPDATE:

We have rescheduled this October’s Classic & Sports Car Road Rally & Car Show to next June 2017. With all the challenges this summer as well as scheduled surgery on both my knees, it has become necessary for us to move the event to early next summer. The tentative date is Sunday, June 25, 2017 – stay tuned as we will confirm this early in the Spring. Please check our website at http://www.colinslaw.org for updates and information. You can also email me at robin.raf@gmail.com

BIG, BIG NEWS:
Celebrity JAY LENO has joined our cause – Jay has offered to host a private tour of his famous Jay Leno’s Garage which, as you may know, is not open to the public. We will be auctioning off this private tour at his Los Angeles facility including round-trip airfare for two. If you may be interested in bidding on this unforgettable opportunity, please let me know and I'll contact you with details.

More Great News on Next June's Road Rally & Car Show:
• Huge Reduction in Road Rally Participant Donations:
o Only $40/Driver and $25/passenger.
o Includes a Chicken Barbeque
o Includes a prize drawing ticket (Win up to $400 in sponsor gifts)
o A professional photograph of your car with the famous Beavertail Lighthouse and open Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop
• Road Rally Cars will be part of a larger Ft. Getty Car Show which has historically drawn over 160 antique, classic and sports cars to this site which most consider the best car show location in the state.

I'm very much looking forward to enjoying this wonderful event next June. Thanks for the update Robin. Me and my Z will be there!

I encourage everyone to download the flyer and plan to join this event. Not only do the fees go to a great cause, I am confident that you will enjoy this low-stress road rally immensely. The Audrain car museum in Newport alone is worth the trip. Admission is normally $12 but you get in for free as part of this event package. Check it out at: http://audrainautomuseum.org/

Thanks Ross - It will absolutely be a great early summer event. Colin also was a great airplane enthusiast and he and I went to many airshows and races because I always believed that the classic airplanes were made to fly and be experienced in flight - not just sitting on the tarmac. I have always felt the same about classic cars and that's why I wanted to do a Road Rally because the fun and beauty of these cars can only be fully appreciated when they are being driven. I think anyone that participated in our very first ColinsLaw "Cruise & Soar" event, when we got a police escort to the Quonset Airshow then lined up on the "ramp" to watch the show, would agree.

Now we have decided to merge the traditional car show with a really fun road rally that visits some great locations and afterward, joining a car show with one of the very best venues possible - on the hill at Ft. Getty overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

With Jay Leno adding a private tour of his car collection in LA, coupled with a super barbecue, car show, live music and over a $2,000 in sponsor prizes to win, this will be an event to remember. I look forward to seeing many, many members at the event next June.

Best,

Robin

My wife and I and my Z will also be there for this event, looking forward to it.
Newport is a fantastic area to explore so this will be a great reason to spend a weekend there.

Robin,
Glad to read of the re-scheduled June date for this event. I and our Z hope to get there this year. ColinsLaw.Org is certainly a worthwhile cause to support.

To Karl and all CTZCC members,

YES, the ColinsLaw.Org Road Rally and Car Show is definitely ON for Sunday, June 25, 2017. Please go to our website at http://www.colinslaw.org for details. We are working on a new pre-registration form which should be live and available for your use on the site by mid-March.

Pre-registration is REQUIRED ONLY If you wish to participate in the ROAD RALLY as we need to provide the barbecue caterer with a head count and plan for the VIP parking and display of up to 50 Rally cars. If attending only the Car Show portion of the event, you simply need to show up and register on site.

Admission donations for both the Road Rally and Car Show will be collected at the event. No payments will be accepted in advance. The admission cost schedule is as follows:

Road Rally Car & Driver - $40 (includes Barbecue and Prize Drawing Ticket
Road Rally Passenger - $25 (includes Barbecue)
Car Show Car - $25 (includes $5 food voucher and Prize Drawing ticket)

RI's famous and most favored Car Show Master of Ceremonies, "Crusin' Bruce' (http://cruisinbruce.com/) will be on hand to keep the music going for the show and provide interesting and informative information about the cars.

Of course one of the highlights of the show will be announcing the winner at 3:30 PM of the national on-line auction for a 4-person, private tour of Jay Leno's "Big Dog Garage" in Burbank, CA. This incredible, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was donated by Jay Leno himself to help ColinsLaw.Org continue with it's successful mission to "Save Lives Through Safer Roads".

I look forward to seeing as many of our CTZCC members as possible. This promises to be a great event to enjoy some very interesting cars, wonderful people, a first class, multi-million $$ automobile museum and some of the most beautiful seaside vistas in New England.

Please feel free to contact me on my personal email for any questions or information about the event at: robin.raf@gmail.com. Thank you. Robin

A show I was planning on attending but the dates just coincide with zcon that ends on the 24th. So along with some other members going to zcon, our Hearts will be with you Robin. May it be a great turn out and good weather. I urge anyone who has the time or can make the time to attend this show. Matter of fact, since I can't be there, 10 other people must show in my place..........because of my fame and popularity. :lol: Robin: For those members that can't make this, maybe some time in the summer if you want a little Z meet for coffee in your neck of the woods, just say the word. :wink:

Paul,

Thank you for the early notice that you will be attending this year's ZCON in Austin, TX and not be able to attend our June 25 event. However, I did note that after 4 full days at ZCON, you can just keep driving after their Harris Hill Raceway, Circuit of the Americas signature motorsports event, for another mere 29 hours of straight driving, and you'll arrive just in time for our Road Rally and Car Show event in Jamestown 8) 8) ...... just to drive another 40 mile Road Rally :thumbs_up:

We will certainly miss your presence and hope you have a great time and safe 1,900 mile trek to ZCON. Hopefully, we will make our event an annual happening and be successful in encouraging the ZCON organization to move to a different date :D .

In the meantime, I would encourage all CTZCC members who will NOT be attending this year's ZCON to visit our website to pre-register for the Road Rally. This year not only do we expect a "SELLOUT", but it is very affordable at only $40 - payable only upon arrival. Your donation includes a chicken BBQ with other Road Rally attendees and a drawing ticket for one of 50 Door Prizes with up to a $200+ value!. Then enjoy a featured spot with your Z among the expected 100 other classic car show cars.

I've attached a flyer for the show as well as an aerial map of the event location at Ft. Getty on Jamestown Island. The upper left hand corner of the photo is the location of the event. ROAD RALLY cars will be featured on the white curved parking area and the car show cars will be parked on the large grass hill overlooking the ocean 8) .

Hope to see many of you there!

Regards,

Robin
