The 5th Annual Moroso Performance Charity Car Show benefiting the CT Children’s Foundation was a tremendous success, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of our car community, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and attendees.
After the rain forecast forced us to postpone to an entirely different weekend, we didn't know what to expect for a turnout. Well, the car community showed up and showed out; nearly 400 cars rolled through the gates for a day filled with incredible vehicles, great conversations, familiar faces, and a shared passion for the car community. From classics and muscle cars to imports, trucks, and everything in between, the show featured an amazing assortment of vehicles from across New England and the Tri-State area. One of the best parts of the day was seeing so many returning friends and familiar faces alongside new faces joining us for the first time. The enthusiasm and generosity of everyone who attended made the event truly special. Most importantly,Shows & Events
"Like any motorsport, drifting continues to evolve. While some drift cars are purpose-built from day one, others, like the sport they champion, progress through trial and error, broken parts, and stubborn determination. Officially billed as a Formula Drift PRO Toyota 86, this Scion FR-S is a poster child for the growth of both driver and machine. What started as an ordinary, 100K-mile Florida commuter has transformed into a full-spec, 800 horsepower pavement scorcher that’s powered by 440 cubic inches of Dart LS. More importantly, though, the car tells the story of how persistence and constant development can slowly turn a grassroots effort into a professional-level contender."

Thank you! Although it was not the day we expected, the Second Annual Moroso Charity Car Show was a blast! Due to weather conditions, we were forced to switch to our rain date and share the day with two other major shows in Connecticut. Despite that, we still welcomed over 200 show cars and raised over $5,400 for Connecticut Children’s. We couldn’t have done it without the help of our employees, volunteers, and our generous sponsors, including M&T Bank, Guilford Texaco, Hammonasset Service Station and more. We would also like to recognize the CT Shoreline Cars and Coffee group, who we’ve connected with this year and helped us raise over $1,000 before the show even started. Thank you to everyone who came out this year, we’re excited to welcome you back at our next event!
Winners:
Grand Champion: Al Vacco, 1939 Ford Deluxe
First Runner Up: John Cote, 1956 Chrysler New Yorker Convertible
People’s Choice: John Cote, 1956 Chrysler New Yorker Convertible
Best Racecar: Scott MacDonald, 1994 Chevy
This past weekend, the Moroso team got to spend some time at the fourth round of Formula Drift 2023 - The Gauntlet. The last FD event we attended as a company was OSW Florida, back in 2019, and we have to say, it was great to be back out there with all the fans, drivers and teams, and our customers.
On top of that, it was at Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey! What used to be a legendary drag strip, is now a stadium DRIFT course!
The weather wasn’t great, with lots of clouds, some rain, and lots of humidity. Even then, the fans showed up in droves, ready to see their favorite drivers rip around the course. In between runs, spectators could enjoy a car show, meet and greets with the drivers, and a vendor area where all sorts of companies in the industry were showing off, selling product and answering questions.
Years later, it still seems there’s staple engine swaps that lots of teams run because of power potential, the ability to take lots of abuse, and lots of parts support.

Moroso Performance is the proud new home for the Shoreline Cars and Coffee group. For more information, please visit their website https://www.ctshorelinecarsandcoffee.com
From their website:
We are a group of car enthusiasts who began meeting in 2020 during Covid as a way to get outside and enjoy each others automobiles.
Our motto is "If it has wheels, bring it...and we like dogs too". Everyone is welcome... classic cars, antique cars, muscle cars, foreign cars, project cars (in progress too), old cars, new cars, bikes and trucks!
We meet every other Sunday at our new home located at Moroso Performance Products at 80 Carter Drive, Guilford, CT. Coffee / breakfast items can be purchased at the event. There is a minimum entrance fee of $2 a car as well as a free will donation bucket to a cover our costs.
There is no judgement and nooooooo burnouts, no speeding and no engine revving. It's not that kind of meet up.
