MSU Racing Club Spring Car Show

[alone_and_insane]

Holy effing hell there are 2k people rsvp'd to this according to facebook

yup. It's staggering to think that 5 years ago, this was about 50 cars. If the weather holds up (and it's really looking like it will), we'll easily have over 600 once again this year. I'm incredibly proud of what this show has become, and I'm glad I had a hand in helping it grow to this point.

I just hope MSU PD does't get pissed at us for holding up traffic...because I guarantee there are gonna be some backups on Shaw Lane haha

how many spaces are in those two lots? i'm glad i live close and will be able to get there early lol

[alone_and_insane]

Depending on how much room the vendors take up, the lots hold around 600-650 cars.

If 2000 people are attending that could be an issue

[alone_and_insane]

Yeah, I guess we'll have to see how it goes...there are plenty of lots in very close proximity to the main one, but we don't have them reserved and they're not actually part of the show. It's the biggest lot actually on campus, so there really isn't anywhere else we can have the show while still in the heart of campus. I think the club is still kind of figuring it out. This show has grown so fast, it's really been a different animal every year in terms of planning/organizing. But yeah, overcrowding could definitely be an issue, especially if the forecast looks like this:

it would be sick if they could use all of shaw ramp lol

The weather is going to be so nice, and the show has been really well advertised, space will be an issue. I plan on being their early, and I also preregistered. Im guessing alot less than the majority of the people rsvped on facebook will show their car.

I'm actually pretty surprised how much it's spread, considering our only major forms of advertising are Facebook and Cruis'News.

FAQ2: "What if I didn't preregister, can I still enter?"
Answer: Absolutely! The lot will be filled on a first come first serve basis for everyone at 8:50am.
Pregistrants will have reserved spots until 11am at which time those spots will be opened up for others.






FAQ3: "I have a loud car and I think i am going to win that awesome trophy for loudest exhaust, How do I enter?"
Answer: Those wishing to partake will be released by rows to the staging lanes and directed to a box marked on the pavement.
YOU MUST BE PARKED INSIDE THAT BOX.
YOU MUST BE IN NEUTRAL. (you will likely be removed from the show if you brake stand in gear... it's not safe amd we cannot take that risk)
YOU GET ONE TRY. (Approximately 10-20seconds)
IF THERE IS A TIE YOU WILL BE ASKED BACK FOR A TIE BREAKER.






FAQ4: "Me and my team/crew/club/friends are making a long drive in and want to hang out after the show ends around 3pm, where can we chill after? (Where is the afterparty?)"
Answer: Front 43. Big parking lot out back and good sushi next door too if you want a sit down meal. It's right near 496/127 interchange and some gas stations. I'll be there and I know others will. Not to mention 10% off for show attendees is pretty legit.








FAQ5: "Do I need to preregister? I haven't done that, how do I?"
Answer: NO. You do not need to preregister. Gates officially open at 9am to everyone. Preregistration is closed, don't worry about it until next year.








FAQ6: "Where do I park?"
Answer: If you want to enter the show, park in the south stadium lot (enter from shaw lane).
Overflow parking for when the show lot is full can be found on the west side of the stadium, north side of the stadium and in the lots by the engineering building. Those same lots are perfect for spectators. Here is a map to help.

big thanks to everyone who came out! I saw a few familiar rides and faces, and some even took home some awards! I apologize for the traffic/parking fiasco that happened, but I hope you still had a great time!

[FLY1NLO]

Def was a good time, but huge bummer spending an entire day detailing and not knowing about the pending space issue. Didn't get to park in the main lot, even after it was half empty

[mcalus]

What was the official number that attended?
