The show will be a lot more organized than last year, we will ensure there is adequate parking and minimal police enforcement.

 

I will not be able to make it this year, but its always a good excuse for a bunch of you NE legacygt guys to meet up. I will be back in the area mid summer.

awesome look forward to seeing all you guys. I only saw Jburke at the HIN show. If you have any questions about the show just ask me and ill forward them to our club president/show organizer.

 

Also since the UCONN car show got rained out and 100 cars still showed up, i expect many of them to migrate our way :)

ok, i emailed the guy and this is what i got back. i threw out 7, but it looks like there will be plenty of room:

 

Mike,

 

This is the first I've heard from NELOC, we'll certainly have room for

you

guys to hold down 7 spots. Even with as many cars as we expect, the lot

has

room for 850+ cars. I'll make sure you guys are set. Invite anyone you

can,

we've just ordered an obscene amount of trophies and are looking at one

huge

event. Thanks for your interest. I hope to see you soon!

 

Cheers,

 

Shea Swavely

It's not about speed, it's about acceleration!
