The Hofstra student-run Motorsports Engineering Club is taking over the University’s North Campus parking lot, adjacent to HofUSA, on Saturday, May 3, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., for their annual car show, featuring more than 200 domestic and foreign-made vehicles.
Visitors can expect to see a wide array of makes and models, including Ferraris, Porches, Lamborghinis, and modified Jeeps, Hondas, Toyotas, Fords and Chevys. Also on site will be vendors, racing simulations, and raffle prizes.
Jack McMillan ’27, vice president of MEC and the owner of a 2016 Dodge Charger, says the members of this decade-old club share a lifelong passion for cars and racing. “This outdoor show is always our largest event of the year, but every semester we do different programs on campus and off, including roadtrips to Montauk and Bear Mountain.”
MEC secretary Hunter Wile ’26 plans to show his ’96 Chevy Blazer and an ’88 Ford Mustang that he shares with his father. An anthropology major, Wile said that as a commuter student, he was excited to find a campus club where he can share his enthusiasm for cars with like-minded friends.
“A lot of people who come to our events have spent hours and hours tuning and modifying their cars,” Wile said. “This event is a great way to show off their work to an audience that understands and appreciates the patience, talent, and time it takes to customize a vehicle.”
Trophies will be given in a number of “best of” categories, including domestic, foreign, 4×4, classic, and supercar. Event sponsors include Blackbird Kitchen, Curbside Detailing, Crash Collision, Gintani, Honda City, Limitless Auto Group, Martino Auto Concepts, Northeast Drivers Club, Redz Shop, Supercar Sunday, Rustic Root Kitchen, and Uncle Franks Woodfire Pizza.
Admission to the show is free for spectators. The registration fee to show a vehicle is $15 in advance and $20 (cash only) at the gate. Credit cards and digital payments are not accepted on the day of the event. To preregister a vehicle visit linktr.ee/hofstramotorsports.
