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 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, 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.

I am seriously considering going to this. Anyone from MA want to meet up?
 
Sorry guys but I'm bailing out. I have "continuing education" classes this weekend. Looks like weather maybe a factor anyway come Sunday. Hope you guys have a good time.

I'm from Montreal, but I'm town for the weekend. I might come if you guys can help me find some rear tires. :biggrin:

Do you guys know of any reliable shops around Redding/ Danbury that would carry 275/30/19 preferably Hankook K104 in stock. Or can get them within a 1 day delay?
I found so far :
Val-U-Tire & Auto Center Inc.
Town Fair Tire

Unless you guys have an old pair of tires lying around I can buy.

Let me know Thanks

Yeah, I see that. I'm going to head back to Montreal saturday afternoon. It's gonna be beautiful
 
Weather is definitely looking sketchy. Unfortunate. Tomorrow on the other hand is looking to be nice and one day of driving is better than none.
