Charlotte Auto Fair Fall 2012

[brandonl2000]

Spring Charlotte Auto Fair meet went over very well and was tons of fun, I thought this fall, being a month or so after the Ohio Pontiac Nationals in August, this would be a great cap to the year for the GP drivers.

We had 15 cars with a good few members from this forum, so it was a decent turn out for just locals and a few recruits. They are planning to have the GP's back on pit road like it has been in the past so we'll be closer to the excitement inside the track.

Anyway, it's a great time regardless, the people you meet and friends you make are what it's about. Would love to have more cars show up and show their car. Don't be like me at the spring meet and tell us your car is ugly or imperfect, we can make em look nice.

Alan does a great job organizing the GP meet at the fair, leading the group of GPs into the track, opens his house to us so we can clean cars and hang out order food whatever we want to do. He really is a big part in making these meets a success and he's a very gracious person, so I just wanted to keep him in mind as we start this off.

So come on out, the dates are September 20-23, 2012. It's held at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC.
For more information, see this website Charlotte AutoFair - The Largest Collector Vehicle Event in the Southeast!

Billy (lilrocket) and I will be working collectively to recruit people to come out.


Please reply to this thread, share your experiences and thoughts, let me know you're coming and I'll keep a list together here in the OP.​

Looks like you just made yourself incharge if we have any less than 15 cars in the fall that means you fail

[brandonl2000]

LOL. I am by no means Abraham. And don't say that man. There could easily be 20-30 cars

[Taz Magister]

There could be but we both know there won't be since pontiac nationals are within 2 weeks of that and we all know for a fact there will be close to 50 there between all the clubs

[brandonl2000]

The dates changed, buddy. Nationals are August 3-5, this spring meet is September 20-23.

My only purpose here is to have a thread with the information about the meet, Alan is over the coordination of the GP show at the fair, we just want some information on this forum about it.

[jcovington]

[dpzelenak]

[lilrocket]

Club Grand Prix will be attending and show on Sep. 22-23 which is the Saturday and Sunday of the event, we still encourage out of state guys try and come in Friday to insure you can get a hotel ill work with Alan to make sure we can grab a couple rooms close to the event to keep the out of state guys from having to navigate through the traffic and all which comes with this event every year. We had a grate turn out for the Spring meet and do appreciate all of the guys who came from out of state and town to attend and show with us newbies are always welcome We had a total of 4 trophy's and 4 gift packages we gave out this show and as long as the numbers seem to be good for the fall meet well have a few more trophy's and gifts as well please feel free to invite your friends who share our love and passion for not only cars but PRIXS lol I up loaded some os the pictures of the spring meet on the thread about the spring show please feel free to check them out if any one has ideas for new trophy ideas please pm me with any ideas for the future event, we like to keep the trophy's changing so we don't have to worry about any one person always getting the same trophy year after year

[Tuner-Extraordinaire]

I haven't heard any news of more GPF folk coming other than myself and those you mentioned.

[lilrocket]

[jcovington]

I'm not going to be able to make it out for Saturday because my wife made plans for my little boys birthday party for Saturday but I would like to come down Sunday. I'm going to be going to the auto fair anyways so why not show the gp. Let me know if we can do it like that or not. If not I'll stop by and see you guys while I'm walking around.
