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.

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

not true. i used to go to uconn, still am a member of UC3, and have worked at the car show the 2 years and there were like 2 people ticketed last year and 1 was an SUV who had monster size truck tires on and i forget what the other was so if 2 outta 600 cars got a ticket then I think you will be fine

You saycops sit there and pull people over when coming in and out of the show. I have been going to that car show for the past 6 years and I have never had a issue with the cops. Only time you get stopped is if you do something stupid. Uconn isint going to throw a car show with 1200 cars and then let cops walk around. Giving tickets to people for there cars. The cops are there to direct trraffic on 195 and to make sure people don't do stupid ****.

this. unless you are doing something stupid or intentionaly trying to **** off a cop (which is also stupid) then you are fine. Unless, like i said earlier you come with some INSANELY illegal mod like the pickup truck with monster truck tires (the car was several feet higher above the ground then what is legal so that is why they got a ticket)

Hey guys, if anyone is looking into supercharging or knows someone that is interested, shoot me a pm. I have a full kit ready to go.

Kit comes with pretty much everything you will need besides some of the random bolts required. 2.95" pulley on the supercharger, dual pass installed on the IM, Opt. B included, ZZP HE, intercooler pump with harness, all the pulleys needed along with serpentine belt, Injen, wiring harness for a 2.2, ported TB, ect. Looking for $1200 for the whole thing.

I'm not looking to part out right now, I'm willing to wait a while to see if anyone will take the whole kit.

I want to deal with someone local so I won't have to ship. If anyone is interested, I will even help with the install.

Are you talking about the piece surrounding the switch or the switch itself? The bezel is known to fall off... mine is hanging on by one side.
