Default Anyone near Danbury, CT?

I'm up here for business until the 4th and wanna see if there's a local scene of any sort, and schmooze with the local F-Bodies (if there are any).

Lemme know

I live about 15min from danbury, but my car is broken

Marcus dairy dose have a great free show on saturday evenings. Other than that theres really not much to do in town. Theres a huge mall, a few gay *** street-racing meets, and... nothing.

BTW... if you want an easy way to get to NYC just take the train, its only about 20min from danbury, I can give you specific directions if you want.

Marcus dairy is right off exits 3 and 2 on I-84, it starts around 5pm and goes until it gets dark.

There are some good pics from there in this thread:

I hear a lot about the pike down in CT, don't really know if it goes by Danbury though. I've heard everything from "its a ricer-fest with police everywhere" to "guys trailer there cars in from everywhere and race for big $". Can't say I've been there , but if there is racing there is bound to be some f-body guys.

Its a kind of a ricerfest, lots of imports but most are tastefully done with lots of cops and a few nice domestic cars. On certain weekends when there are big shows there are more nice cars. Ive never seen any trailered cars or big races, but that doesnt mean it doesnt go down.

Pike is on fire with all sorts of cars every weekend, both Fri. and Sat. night. There are cops, but just drive with common sense and look around before you do something stupid. They mostly pick on the rice burners though. Most of the racing goes on in Hartford later in the night-very early morning of the next day. Most of the races are between civics and such though and the area is pretty bad so I suggest staying away from there.

I went there when my car was stock, I cleaned house. Theyre all just a bunch of ricers and a few 5.0 boys.

I ran a pretty quick CRX one night at the park and ride.. Even with the T-tops off i killed him, but not by as much as i would have liked.. It used to be a fun area, but recently the cops have become major A-holes and threaten people for no reason.. My buddy john could clean house, but its hard to get a race when the car pulls in with a hard lope and a FMIC... Welcome to our little hole in the wall..

Yea, my car has been out for a little bit now...Trans Took a dump, and figured it would be a good time to do some engine work since i can't drive the car. Still waiting on my TSP heads, but once those are in should be on the road again in two weeks or so... Freakynipples(SP?) Also has a TA and he's from carmel also. GL with the Z28, is it a A4 or M6?? What colors ur GTP?
