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 that there's something for everyone, including classics, domestics, imports, euros and even supercars. All makes, models and price ranges of vehicles are welcome.

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 congregate at 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 and more food vendors as well.

Im in.
MY HTA35r should arrive by than....man I hope fp gets this out in March.
Is this going to be out of control and not fun? I remember drinking at Uconn's Spring week a bunch of years back....(my buddy called it kill-a-keg....or something like that) anyway cars were flipped over, rocks were thrown at houses and smashed windows, and things were just crazy.
It was fun than but I love my car too much for any insanity going on.
