An event T-Shirt will be offered. Prizes and Trophies will be presented. Partsrack and Roe Racing are sponsoring the event. Bay State Motorsports is sponsoring and will be bringing some of their inventory for display (currently they have a brand new Lamborghini Gallardo in their show room...wink, wink)

Cheerleaders???...Jerry Colpitts or secretary has informed me that there will be cheerleaders.

You are all invited !!!

Our goal is to bring together the finest Exotic Cars and car enthusiasts together in the Northeast...and to make a contribution as a group to the Make A Wish Foundation.

Gates open at 9:00am / Show opens to the public at 10:00 / Show n' Shine from 10:00-12:00 / 12-1:00 judging / 1:00-2:00 awards presentation.

WOW Jeff!!! I remember my first trip there back in 2000...when I was SO NEW to being back in the states I had to trailer the Viper there due to lack of tags!!! THAT was a trip well worth it.....and now it is a full-blown major event!! Good job to all of you New England ladies and gentlemen!!!

 

[DodgeViper01]

I think I might want to attend that. Located in NJ. That will be an interesting drive for a day. What is that 4 hours right? I would love to come an help out. Let me know the details if there are anymore

Keith

 

[Jeff Torrey]

Keith - Yes it should be about a 4 hour trip for you, be great to have you convoy up with the New York Club, and I know you have connections with the Ferrari and Lambo guys. So if you can invite your friends the more the merrier.

You inspired me last fall when I missed out on the Northeast Running of The Bulls. From then on my objective is to bring new life into the New England Viper Club by organizing joint events. Figured what better way to meet the other clubs than a full blown Exotic Car Show. You know, the kind of thing you see on TV with Meguiars' donating a 30 minute show to...It may come to that as we intend to make it an annual event.

Tony- Yes, exactly! The place is huge (You can get a feel for the potential that this event has...). The folks at Budweiser are very excited. As you know it will be a Lawn Event. The grounds are impecable with a German architectual feel. The Merrimack Facility has a gift shop and stables, with a full hitch of Clydesdales. The complete facility will be open for the show...and everything is free.
The community, the vendors, and the car clubs all want it to happen. Sponsorship and support is right there...
Its not a hot rod show (ITS YOUR CAR SHOW), strickly exotics and exotic car enthusiasts. Come one, come all. Bring a friend, bring it on!

 

[DodgeViper01]

Jeff:

I will find out how many of the Lambo and Ferrari guys would like to come. I will see how many I can get.

As for this event; can't wait. Sounds like a lot of fun

Thanks for everything

Have a good weekend

[Jeff Torrey]

Rich- Don't sell yourself short. You have motivated me as much as anyone. We have some poster made up, I'll have to get some to you. Talking with one of the Dunkin' Donuts regional guys and they would be more than happy to post a flyer in any of there shops. I will be driving around passing out "Stuff" too.
I feel like such a **...but its my dream. Ten years from now you won't be able to get near the place, be the biggest thing in the country.
Its for the kids.

I promise that you will remember the day for a long time.

 

[RichH]

Jeff,

Let me know when you get the posters. I can place some with friends at a couple of local dealerships in the area.

Thanks Rich

 

[Jeff Torrey]

Rich- I got them. I can meet you just say the word...even tonight @ the ex Windham Country Store (Mobil Station)if your around. I sent you an e-mail last night on the posters, but it was during the thunder storms, looks like the e-mail did not get through.

Thanks
