is there a show of sorts or something before the convoy? or a good spot to watch them all roll by?

Was thinking of hitting this up on the way back from Englishtown depending on the details.

pretty much any exit between ruby rd and (i forgot which one) one of the exits in west hartford. Uconn exit and the rest stop in Stafford Springs seem to be big ones. state police shut down the entrance ramps so its not a mess. theres a show afterward, all the nice trucks stick around. last year they had a monster truck and the fedex nationwide or busch car. lots of food. they raffle off a TON of stuff too.

I was the last truck in the convoy last year.

I was gonna try and make it this year, but I might be headed back from a weekend in Maine.

its an exit in east hartford, for wickham park, its only 15 miles west hartford would be too far.
