Connecticut?

well, the thread "Ohio?" has around 500 posts, so i thought ct has to make atleast a little noise.
Newington, CT! One of the most boring places to be in the winter.

Yea, I use to run down there years ago before it got bad with my now gone juiced 96 RS. Needless to say, it got real old fast. I've gotten older since then- I'm just going to finish my 88, mabye run it at LVD a few times, defintiely a trip to Lime Rock is in order- otherwise, just a quick street car.

Its gotten really dangerous to race anywhere in CT anymore. All the good places that we use to street race at are now over-run with morons. The last time I raced (mabye 3 years ago) some guy decided to mess around and try to jump in the race up by the airport, when there really is only enough room for 2 cars- not three. Needless to say it scared the hell out of me and I haven't done it since.

Edit: If you do street race, this is a little sobering.

If you buy it in Japan you can get my car (because i'm selling it wink wink) for 4500. Thats a GTS25T. a GTR is anywhere from 4500 to 20000. you have to legalize it before customs will release it from the port or get a letter from the manufacturer saying it's a race car and thats all it will be used for. well have to get off this topic or we could get locked and i don't want that.

What shows? There's the cruise night at Mustang Mary's on Laurel Hill, the cruise night at the Liberty Bank Plaza every month off Salem Tpke, the monthly cruise night at Nature's Art in Waterford, The cruise night at Ocean Beach, the yearly show at Dodd Stadium, and of course The Frank Marata Car Show now in New Haven. I'm usually at these.

I would have mentioned the weekly show at the top of the Mohegan Sun parking garage, but our cars aren't old enough to enter...
