Minneapolis MN C&C First Saturday of the Month 8am-11am. 2011 Season!




Hey guys,

It's hard to beleive that we are going into year 4 of C&C. As some of you know, this event has grown from a small gathering at Caribou with 30-40 cars to a montly showing of 500+ cars inside the Motorplex on any given First Saturday.

April may be a little colder for us this year, but the extended forecast shows sun every day from now to next Saturday which means that most of this snow and ice will be gone by then.
In order to keep things organised, please try to arrive as early as possible (the event starts at 8am) so that you can get a parking spot. We have gotten to the point where we have to turn people away or ask them to park in spectator parking when they arrive after 9:00 because there is no room. There is some extra parking this year, so take a look at the map and follow the direction of the people that will be helping you park.
Please keep the burnouts and hard launches for the track. We need to be respectful of the property and our host as well as the garage owners that allow us to have our event at their place.






Location:
The location is the Minneapolis AutoMotorplex located at:
8200 Audobon Rd. Chanhassen MN
Please check out the Motorplex’s website for map and other details: http://www.automotorplex.com/
For people traveling east of 494 we would encourage you to take the Crosstown (62) extension (HWY 5) the where it becomes 212, exit on Powers Blvd (Which is 1 exit past 101) go right, drive approx 500 ft and turn left on Lyman (at the light) travel approximately 1 mile, turn right on Audubon and we will be 1.1 mile on the left.

































Please mark your calendars with the following 2011 dates:

April 2nd

May 7th

June 4th

July 2nd

August 6th

Spetember 3rd

October 1st

Thanks to all of you that made it out. We had over 550 cars in the show (The lot was full by 8am) and record attendance again. There were over 2000 people in there. Crazy. Our next event will be on Saturday June 4th with our 3rd Annual open house at Imola Motorsports in Golden Valley, following immediately afterwards.

Here are some shots by Alex Bellus. See you guys at the next one!

Next weekend should be pretty special. Weather looks like it's going to be great. We will be having a special Eurowerks V showcase during the event in the back courtyard. Imola is having their 3rd annual open house/bbq which is always a good time with good food and resident DJ TeddyMac spinning some great music.
Super pumped. See you guys there.

Hi all!



This Saturday we will be hosting our 1st annual Nord Stern Member appreciation day at MNC&C.

We will have some of Nord Stern's best cars in the courtyard of the Motorplex along with members

providing information about our club to prospective members.



The event is located at 8200 Audubon Rd, Chanhassen, MN 55317. 8am-11am.

Free coffee, donuts and waters will be provided to all.

Parking is limited to a first-come, first-served basis – if you want a prime parking spot, get there by 8am.

We have plenty of on-site and nearby public parking for non show cars.

MNC&C attracts several hundred of the best Twin Cities sports and show cars every first Saturday

morning of the months April trough October. Admission is free!

If you are interested in showing your Porsche in the special courtyard event, please e-mail me directly.

Space back there will be limited to about 15 cars and half of those spots are already spoken for.
