You are also welcome to sit in your car, but remember to turn your headlights off and start your vehicle from time to time to charge the battery. Food is available on site for purchase, but you can also bring your own. See Pleasant Valley Drive-In for admission information and movie showings. Entrance fee is CASH ONLY.

Whether it’s your first Humpa, or forty-seventh, this is a must attend event. The event will be held rain or shine Sunday, September 12, 2021 at JB Williams Park in Glastonbury CT. Gates open at 11:00am. The CT Valley Chapter typically supplies much of the food for this event and requests participants bring side dishes or desserts to share with one another. However this year due to an increasing level of Covid-19 infections we are now, out of an abundance of caution, suggesting everyone bring their own food and beverages to enjoy. Except for the beer. Once again, beer will be provided by Tony’s Imported Auto Service! Designated CVC hosts will be beer-tending and handing out the brews to those who wish to partake. This is no fee for this event, but we encourage a donation of $5 or more per adult to the Parkinson’s Foundation in memory of John W. Bisset. Please RSVP Jonathan Bisset at jeb@pai.necoxmail.com or 860-633-7868. Please provide the number of people attending in your group.

Event Details
Come out and join the Connecticut Valley Chapter for an all day High Performance Driver’s school for our fourth driving school of 2021 at Lime Rock Park. Please also note the reduced entrance fee! Your day will be spent alternating between classroom and behind the wheel sessions on the track. Classroom sessions are tailored to class skill level and are lead by seasoned, certified BMW driving instructors. In-car instructors provide the coaching needed to improve driving skills and get the most out of your car. And, just like when you were in school, you’ll receive a report card from your in-car instructor. At 5:00p, when the track goes cold, it’s time to get together for pizza and beverages under the control tower. Stories of day abound as new friends and old enjoy a snack and a drink before heading home. If you are interested in attending one of these awesome events, please visit our HPDE page for information on signup and for obtaining the appropriate forms to fill out and submit on the day of the school.

Event Details
Mark your calendars for October 17, 2021 as the Caffeine & Carburetors gathering happens again at Waveny Park in New Canaan, CT. If you’ve been to this event in years past, no explanation is necessary. If you’ve yet to experience this, you are in for a real treat. Combined, Connecticut’s Fairfield County and New York’s Westchester County are home to innumerable collectors of some of the most exotic, eclectic, exclusive and expensive cars on the East Coast. The variety and quality of the cars that show up at this event is overwhelming. It’s automotive overload! And here’s the kicker – there is no fee to attend as a spectator, no fee to display a car at the event and no need to pre-register. There are no car corrals, so it’s normally first come first served. Those who are interested in parking as a group will be meeting first at a parking lot a short distance from an entrance of the park. If you are interested in joining this “Bimmer Blitz”, please send a quick note to Paul Frickenhaus at pfrickenhaus@ctvalley.org for further details.
This is a non-CVC event.
