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). You can also find the planning forum at the top of our forum page here. 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.

I'll go let's make a MT.net club and show our cars as a club lol

My wife and I will be there.

too bad im in pittsburgh lol.

drive up. bring the FSAE car so you can laugh at uconns

Hey Fastcolt, me and cspence are honne meet up and ride as a group you should as well as long as you promise you won't embarrass me with your speed.

We all have to cruise up together so we can park together. Too bad its not this weekend, its supposed to be REALLY nice. If it rains I'm not going (no windows), but other than that I'm game. So who else is going to join the caravan....240 will be up there, astroboy is from up that way right?, so I guess the only other person beside myself, nick, and chris would be Joe. I'm not sure if Quinn is going, I don't see him on here too much......and dont expect my car to be clean, I'm ridin durty ;):giggle:

I'll be coming for sure guys. The car is currently my DD again so as long as it holds up by then I see no reason why I couldn't make it.

I have just a couple minor loose ends I hope to have finished this week and next.

Looking forward to seeing all the cars in person! :bigtu:

plan on getting there early. Ill try and save a section for MT.net guys

I just checked mapquest and its almost 2 hours from here.

Where do you guys plan on meeting up and at what time?

Some where up 91... There's a commuter lot on 91 around exit 19-20? We could meet there, and chris if it rains noone will go since the car show is outside lol

yeah rain date of the following sunday (april 18th)

That'd be perfect...I'm about a mile off exit 16 (91N), Chris is about 2 miles lol

Looks like I might not make it guys. Fuck. :vash:

The car has been ok for getting me around here and there, but a 2 hour hike away from home might not be the best idea ATM.

The car has been periodically smoking and now its getting worse. I'm not sure where I could have a bad seal, but I doubt I'll have the time to fuck with it by next weekend.

Not to mention the exhaust is hitting the control arm and rattling like crazy.

Neverfuckingends. :vash:

still in better shape than mine right now. Every gasket known to man is leaking... and i got the stock exhaust on for emissions...and yes, it is rattling

I drove with a blown turbo for 6 months and my DP has been rattleling since I turbo it 4-5 years ago lol your fine

Hells yeah ill meet up so we can roll in a crew. Cspence you should come out to the VW get together next Wed night. Ussually a good then out of all types of cars.

Where's it at?

So you goin or what?! Looks like the weather is going to cooperate so I'm down... We need to have as many miatas go as possible to make our presence known :giggle:

Driving up 91N today I saw a good spot to meet up....between exits 18 & 20 (No 19 on 91N) there is a truck rest stop.....maybe this is the one you were refering to Nick. Thats probably the most convenient spot. What time was everyone thinking about heading out?

Yeah chris that's the spot I was talking about... I was thinking meeting at 9am so we could get a decent spot to park...also do you guys wanna enter your cars in the car show or not? I kinda wanted to so people don't fuck around with it on the parking lot but at the same time I don't wanna stand next to the car the whole day at the show... Do you guys wanna meet and go get breakfast or meet and be ready to go?
