In CT 6/17-6/27, what to do Porsche related?

I'm up in my old stomping grounds of CT for a few days and i'm looking for something to see automotive related, even better if its Porsche related, possibly to photograph for artwork. Anybody with anything of interest? Cars, shops,race cars, roads etc. Years ago when I lived up here I had a friend that used to go to KAM. I know the F40 motorsports guy is right up the road. Dont think much is going on at Limerock this week. I know there are some great cars and shops in this area. I think there is a guy with a 962 around here somewhere. Any ideas?

Thanks Pete, I saw that right after I posted. Might be neat, but wasn't sure if it was a CVRPCA members only thing.

sunday the 26th is an autocross in hartford. I'm going up their to give it a try. it is sponsored by the connecticut valley region of PCA.
As far as roads go. head down the connecticut river on route 9 until you get to 82. head east great sightseeing roads around there. I'm going to bridgeport tomorrow to give my car a run. where are you going to be?

Im in the Meriden area Paul. Sorry I didn't see this until today. I might do the sunday autocross...well not participate, but spectate. Funny you mentioned rt 9 and 82. I just went to Mystic w/ the family today and went rt 9. We were in Killingworth a couple days ago and hit some pretty roads.

We were up in that area over memorial day weekend and it was great. stopped on the way back to check out F40 motorsports because I see his show all the time. no one was there, but he had a ton of cool old cars around. check it out if you get a chance.
if you are going up to the autocross let me know. I am definitely going to be there. first autocross for me!

Funny thing about F40: When I lived up here I would drive past that place all the time. I always said I was going to stop in and never did. Fast forward to a year or so ago down in FL and a very good friend asked if I had ever heard of that place since it was in CT. I said I had and he asked if I ever watched the show. I had no clue what he was talking about, had never seen the show before. My SAT co.(Direct TV) only offers it w/ the HD package I believe, which I do not have (I know...I should) I had no idea they were as "big" as they are.
Good chance I will be there for the autocross. I'll know better towards the end of the week.
