Our last carshow in the spring of '08 was the best ever...lets make this one better!

The show will be held on Saturday, April 4th, 2009 from 11am - 4pm, in the C4 lot of the JMU campus. The entrance to the lot is off of Cantrell Avenue.

There will be the following classes: Import, Domestic, Euro, Classic, Motorcycle.

Like last year, we're having various vendors to support the show! Subaru North America/Bob Wade Subaru will be present with their cars! Also, we're partnering with the Make a Wish Foundation to raise money for their cause of helping children with life-threatening illnesses - come out and support them! We've asked others such as Whiplash Motorsports and Mid Atlantic Motorwerkes to attend as well!

Also: Valley Dyno Service of Elkton, VA will be out with their portable 2WD Dynojet to dyno cars! The cost is $75 for 2 pulls with HP/TQ readings. Those interested in dyno-testing must enter the show as well to receive a universal registration number for the show and dyno.

Spectators: Please be aware of the safety barriers around the dyno area, and be mindful of your surroundings and of others around you to ensure safe and secure operation of the portable dyno!

So please mark your calendars and come out to support MM and the Make a Wish Foundation, show off your car or bike, hang out with car guys and motorsports enthusiasts and have an all around good time! Feel free to post up this flier and relevant information on other forums and spread the word!

The MV [Brutale 1078RR] is aggressive and attack, attack, attack - if you just stepped off a bare-back ride on a ton of bison with a Tazer attached to its testicles, you'd still find it a handful.

I'll post up to Miata.net and Escape-Central. The made-of-win Miata will be there in full glory.

Sweet, make sure you hit up NASIOC as we had a really strong Subie showing last year plus this is sponsored by Subaru as well

I've just posted up on VADriven and poopra-forums, about to hit up the local SCCA boards. Can someone hit up NASAracing.net as well?

I'll be there not sure if I will be "showing" the new project as I am not sure if it will be done by then. I'm finishing up the interior this weekend. The door jambs and such are cut in so the paint is next. I hope it will be finished by then.

Thanks for spreading the word everyone, make sure you stay on top of your posts and get people out! We're working on a few more sponsors and businesses to come out, and I'm going to get confirmation on the dyno ASAP. Final bit of paperwork was submitted last week, now all we need is an answer...also mass email/JMU table tent ad requests will be submitted in the next few days.
