Bragging Rights
- For those of you have yet to witness one of our shows, We tend to amass some of the greatest diversity among cars under one name. Anyone who has been to a previous show can attest that theres something for everyone. Whether its Classics, Domestics, Imports, Euros or even supercars that you are into, this show embodies the presence of all the aforementioned makes. Pics from last years show

- Our show does start early but we have thought of the solution to entice early arrival, Red Bull. Red Bull will be present at the show handing out Red Bulls, and even better, Theres a great possibility that they will bring one of their vehicles (Drift Solstice, one of the F1 cars, Nascar).

Onto the Trophies:
Trophies Include: Best In Show. Best Import, Domestic, Euro, Exotic. Best Honda/Acura, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan & Other. Best Ford, Chevy, Dodge & Other. Best BMW, VW/Audi & Other. Best Offroad Truck. Best Lowrider Truck.
Sleeper Award, UC3 Choice Award, Club Participation Award, & Best Club Award.

Note: Best Club Participation Club Award goes to the club with the most participating members. Best Club Award will be awarded to the club UC3 finds to embody as the "best."

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, theres will not be any room to leave empty parking spaces open. (see below for parking lots outside of the show that you can congregate at prior to arrival)
- Judging will be ballot based and will begin at exactly noon. Those who arrive a minute past noon will not be susceptible to registration or judging for that matter.
- Yes, different from last year, we will have portapotties within the show perimeters. More food vendors as well.

Is there going to be a blazer.com member section at the car show. I'm only about an hour away from storrs. I'm there anyway, but having a section of members would be awesome. If anybody else is going, post reply. We can set up a party.

 

im new to the blazer forums, and blazers in general so im not sure how many of us are around CT... if you can get a pretty decent sized group then yeah u should pre-register and come as a group. the big thing is COME EARLY...the lot fills up fast. NO spots will be "saved" for friends or anything, so come early, come together, and preregister if there are enough of you.

Ill be working it, so unfortunatly i wont have much free time to chat with all the blazer guys.

OO and FYI i believe the plan is to have all "offroad" trucks park on the grass to save spaces, so if we get a mix of lowered and raised blazers im not sure if we will all be together.

 

I checked the blazerforum.com map in the new member section, and only came up wityh 2 other people from ct. I guess we'll see when it comes. I'm going though.

 

I am from CT. I live in Norwalk, grew up in Stamford. It's a good hour and a half to Storrs though. I haven't up that way in a few years. Good to see others from the area though.
