UCONN Car Show - 4/14/2013
 
Hi, I posted this (below) in the New England section and it was recommended that I post it here as well. Being in southeastern CT, I'm sort of between the two regions but hey, the more the merrier!


Hi all - thought I'd mention the UCONN Car Show put on by the UCONN Car Club every April. In the past this show was held on the University of Connecticut campus in Storrs and the field was often not large enough to accomodate all the cars. This year it has moved to Rentschler Field so there will be no limit to the number of entrants. This will be a huge show!

I've attended in the past with other cars and the turnout is incredible, typically covers the entire spectrum of cars from antiques to highly modified imports. A great place to meet people with similar cars - many get together outside the field, drive in as a group and park together.

Link to the show website is below. Maybe we could get a group together for this one and meet other FR-S / BRZ owners?

I might make the drive up from Trumbull. I just graduated and never went to the show. They didn't exactly do a great job advertising that thing around campus.

Let me do some investigating as I knew the UCONN set-up but I'm not familiar with Rentschler Field. There are supposed to be some parking lots there where clubs members can meet up to go in together. I'll see what I can find out and post later. Might take a while, I don't do much in a hurry these days!

Right now I just hope the crappy weather is done but knowing New England, it's probably not.

Edit - if anyone else here is familiar with this area and has any ideas on where to meet, please let us know. I've never been there before myself.

Rentschler field used to be an airport so the parking lot is the old runway and the fields around it. I'd imagine you'd be able to meet up somewhere in the field or there are plenty of restaurants and parking lots within a mile of the stadium.
