Alright guys heres the deal. Marcus Dairy doesn't look likely to happen this spring/summer but I've talked to some others and it seems like we definitely need an alternative place to meet.

What I have to offer is the following:

A 650+ car parking lot about 1 hour EAST of Marcus Dairy (straight down i-84) over at UConn. (Storrs CT 06269)

The tentative date as of now is Saturday, April 19th with a rain date of Sunday, April 20th.

Its still a bit early, but if you guys want this to happen, post up. Im going to start contacting some sponsors such as Mothers or Meguiars so there can be raffles or free stuff to give away.

If hondas were your thing only, Id understand why, but check out the magnitude of this meet:

http://www.uconncarclub.com/uconn_pan.gif

you're in for a time comparable to marcus dairy

 

The date sounds like a plan but the location sounds like its to far lol. But im in, i will tell other people to bump this too.

 

i think its alil to early imo. i say sometime in june.
either way i should be down

 

lets make it happen

 

Do it up. I'm in.

 

I'd be in also... and willing to be a sponsor/vendor. Just make sure it doesn't coincide with a weekend track event in the northeast.

 

Assuming you mean drag racing, the closest NOPI/NHRA events to this event are the following:

May 3/4 - (New York City area) Englishtown, NJ - Old Bridge Township Raceway
(Road Course)
June 19-22 39th annual NHRA SuperNationals Englishtown, N.J. (PSM)

Ill shoot you a PM as time gets closer to the show for being a vendor/sponsor and don't worry, we haven't forgotten your will to promote during last years weather.

 

yea i was talking about drag events.

 

storrs is about an hour and a 1/2 from danbury give or take how fast u drive. When is that big Uconn car show they always have, I think its May.

Im in either way but Marcus shows are always good.

 

im down for a meet
