Good Evening ladies and gentlemen. This Year's UCONN CAR CLUB CAR SHOW will be held on Sunday, April 9th 2006!!! Spread the word! Now I'm sure you're wondering, first, why we picked the 2nd week in april, and second, why we picked a sunday. The 3rd weekend in april, 15th/16th is Easter Weekend, and the 4th weekend in april is that special time of year that all car enthousiasts park at eastern. Our only option was the 2nd weekend. We originally wanted saturday, however that's Open House and UConn says they need W-Lot as an overflow lot for incoming families. So our ONLY option is Sunday. It's sunday or bust, come rain or come shine. Open house will be a Great time for us to promote the show! While incoming families are sitting in 195 traffic they can take a gander at a couple strategically placed road side banners and signs.

In all seriousness though, we have a lot of work to do before hand. Our goal is to break the 300 automotive attendance mark and strive for 500 cars this spring. We absolutely have the potential to host one of the largest spring shows in the region. Our first show was in the fall of '03 and on 3 to 4 days notice we were able to scrape together 50-60 cars. Come Spring of '04 with a 10-12 day notice we saw numbers approaching the 150 car mark. Spring of '05 brought in 250+ automobiles, thousands of spectators, and a couple super cars; Porsche GT2 and a Ferrari Testarossa.

The #1 reason for the numbers from last year relied heavily on early commitments of whole clubs months before the show. If I remember correctly, our club sign in sheet had 12-15 registered clubs in attendance.

I'd Love to see some fellow FTErs there
