Date/Time:
Sunday April 19th
We're working on finding a rain date that works...

Car entry closes at 2 PM or when parking lot fills
Trophies around 2:30-3:00 PM
Price:
- Free to Spectate
- $10 dollars to Participate

Trophies:
We will be holding a popular vote for a variety of categories, a few best burnout awards, as well as some Tufts Auto club awards. These have not been finalized yet but the list will be updated in a few days.
Events:
This year we have finally gotten approval for a burnout competition! Enter your tire-smoker for some fun and prizes. More to come on this soon...

We will have food vendors at this event so no one will go hungry.

Open to all cars. We usually get a large variety. This year there seems to be a lot more interest from domestic makes, especially the f-body community so I am excited to see some real muscle.

I have a V6 Camaro, also a Saturn ION redline supercharged. I belong to a Saturn ION redline/Chevy Cobalt SS club that I could get a few guys to come show up. The ION redline is always a good show car because its a rare and interesting car and always peaks interest. Only 6000 were made for US and Canada between 04-07.

Yeah, that is a common problem but since school ends April 28th and from then til May 10th it is finals week at Tufts, I can't do anything during that time because everyone is studying, etc so I have to find an earlier date.

Unfortunately there aren't many dates in April to work with so we all happen to have ours on the same day but the one thing Tufts has that no one else has is a legitimate burnout contest so I'm hoping that will tip the scales for some of you.

It looks like they take you on I95 to Rt. 2 to Rt. 16 which is a pretty good system of roads(I take it all the time to get to and from home). I'll be driving to CT on Friday so I'll keep my eyes open as I take it for you and let you know if there is a better way to go.
Also, I watched your dyno video. Your car sounds amazing. Our club treasurer is a big corvette guy so he'll be happy.

Oh damn, that's too bad. I was going to let you know that I found a route for you to go on with very few potholes etc.
Final bump...Car show is this Sunday! Hope to see some of you there!
