New England's largest automotive gathering, broke.East, is coming back once again in May 2022. The car enthusiasts behind broke.East are setting up shop at the Stafford Motor Speedway for their season opener.
broke. is a community organization and broke.East is the biggest car meet in New England with thousands of modified cars, trucks, bikes, exotics, etc. The event also has 30+ auto vendors, over ten food vendors, prizes, giveaways, an auto limbo contest and limited edition broke. merchandise.
There will be a wheel raffle courtesy of Karbon Kings Performance, with one ticket being $10 or three tickets for $20.
broke. is taking place at the Stafford Motor Speedway, 55 West St., Stafford Springs, CT 06076. Make sure to stay truly broke all day by getting there promptly for the start of the day. The event takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and tickets will be sold from now until the event ends at 3 p.m., day of. Going back to the Stafford Speedway was ideal for its size and parking availability.
As a collective, broke. leaders leave fans with this, "IT'S NOT A SHOW...IT'S A MEET...RESPECT THE LOITERING!" They continue with emphasis, "Our event is a place we can all share our automotive passion collectively, by respecting one another no matter the make or model you drive! There is no judgment allowed at our events and that is why you'll never see categories, judges, or trophies. Why are we called broke? 'broke.' is what happens after upgrading our builds year after year into what we like to call, 'broke.life.builds.'"
broke. was established in 2013 to bring together all car enthusiasts within the car scene. The event grows bigger and greater each year. The event staff has very few rules and have all rights to remove those who break the rules. The event does not allow outside alcohol or any drugs on the premises. As in every meet there is to be no revving, no burnouts, and no loud excessive music: especially upon entry or exit of the space. There will be on duty officers present.
General admission for this event will be $20 per person. There are possible promotional codes to come in the coming months.
