Date/Time: Saturday, October 19 from 6:30 - 9:30 PM
Saturday night is our Dinner & Movie on the campus of CU-ICAR. Last year was our first year for this event and we had great feedback. The film will be shown in CU-ICAR’s 300 seat auditorium and dinner and drinks will be served in the lobby of the auditorium overlooking the CU-ICAR engineering workshop. This year we will feature McLaren.
McLaren recounts Bruce McLaren’s life from his humble beginnings at his father's auto shop in Auckland, to revolutionizing Formula 1 racing by becoming the youngest driver ever to win a grand prix, to his death at 32 in a racing accident. Featuring interviews from his closest friends and family members, the documentary is an unprecedented window into the life of a true genius.
Here is a short trailer about the film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyiRuWWrKSA
You will also enjoy the company of your friends and some wonderful food and drink. After an enjoyable weekend of catching up with friends and seeing some of the best automobiles in the US, this will be a great way to slow down and unwind after all of the festivities. Don’t miss this last chance to catch up with old friends.Event requirements
