;) Ahhh the taste of spring is near

I will definatly be there.

You mean the UConn Subaru car show?

April 9th is really early to plan something like this....we could still be seeing snow!

yeah we could

No 2-step damn, dumps only open at 11psi well im out of that one

well I know alot of us will be there.

Any way to stop people from playing obnoxiously loud music?

Set-up sections so everyone knows what their up against? Typically the Z and G guys park near eachother and their all Import RWD, I don't recall the last time a Z or G even won and I think it's due to the fact that during judging cars are all over the place.

:werd:

They need stronger enforcement of simple rules. Have dedicated stereo event, were you can only play music during that period. I don't want to sit there all day next to some 16 year old with Lil Wayne blaring in my ear the whole time.

I'd definitely consider going to this too

Agreed! They need a moderator to hand out the banz at the event. Maybe they should employ you.

Still a large event with a good variety of cars. I plan on going

TURN THAT **** OFF

whip out the cattle prod, and just tell them its prom night

im putting a fund together this year to see another porsche cayenne get dirtied up by a POS truck. anyone can paypal me :bowrofl:

I have heard last year they had some major issues with security where someone in a big truck purposely spun mud and dirt over some of the Ferrari cars. There are picture on F chat.

Love to see the following:

- More control of parking area for cars by type, maybe set up sections
- Limit the reving/popping/blasting of music from 200 different cars (Music playing is cool but not so loud that you cant even talk if your group is parked near those ppl)
- Hope for no off roaders throwing dirt and rocks all over ppls cars ;)

Ya it's happened to a Porsche Turbo Cayenne, off white. The guy then whipped away and chased the trucker.

it was a nice car, and a stupid a$$ move, un-called for

+1

Honestly those are the three top items.
-Better communication as to what the heck was happenning would be cool too.
Unfortuntly this group has had these same complaints / concerns every year, and we have yet to see any improvements in it :icon43:

Dude in the truck looked like he was going to be beat to a pulp. LoL

I woulda been ripped $hit if that happened to my car.

Adrian - remember Steve spraying your car on the Mnt Run? hahaha

I give you da slapz!!!!

Zing - oh yeah it was uncalled for. Guy was a nincompoop.

Adrian - I fear da slapz

At least if Rodis shows up the whole meet will have better security. He's gonna walk around with that shovel and beat the tardly ones.

I will definitely be there.
