    The UConn Car Club would like to invite you to be a part of our 9th Annual Spring Car Show on Sunday, April 15th RAIN OR SHINE! IT'S ON!. Please follow us on twitter for updates.

    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)

    Hours:
    Gates open @ 9:00 am (Please try not to come earlier because the lot will not be ready)
    Registration closes @ 12:00 pm
    Gates close when the parking lot capacity has been reached (~600 cars)
    Trophies by 1:30-2:00 pm

    Price:
    Free to spectators
    $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.

    Important: This year spectator parking will be across Rt. 195 along the side of Horse Barn Hill Road. If you do not plan to register your car, please park in the spectator area. As always, parking is limited at UConn, but we will try our best to accommodate all spectators. Police Officers and club members will be there to direct you.

    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.

    1980 and Newer

    Import FWD
    Import RWD
    Import AWD

    Euro FWD
    Euro RWD

    Best Club (Quality)
    Club Participation (Attendance)
    UC3 Choice
    Type R

    Note: Best Club Participation Club Award goes to the club with the most participating members. Best Club Award will be awarded to the club that UC3 deems to have the highest quality entrants in respect to the quality of the cars and the attitude of its members. 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 here and enter the password which is UC3 (all caps). 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
    Space is limited but arrangements can be made.

    Note:
    Participate at your own risk
    Please forward any further questions or comments also to uconncarclub@gmail.com

    Thank you and we hope to see you there!
    -UC3

    The UCONN show is always an excellent event! One of the best car turnouts of the summer, with a little, or a lot of everything there. Exotics, classics, Euro, everything!! We are always proud to be a little part of the show, and we will see everyone there. If we can get a decent internet connection, we can probably flash some cars too. Does anyone know if there's decent Wi-Fi up on the hill?

    Sweet, I should be all set on log-in's, if my wife is willing to gimmie her stuff for the day. Worst case, I can use my Android, it'll just be a little slow. We're excited though, should have a few sweet rides to cruise up in this year for the show. I'm just super happy that it's a Sunday this year, so everyone at the shop can go, rather than having to choose who mans the place and who get's to go have fun.
