2006 Food Lion AutoFair - Lowes Motor Speedway 9/16

Here's the latest info on the AutoFair on 9/16. The attachment has the reminders for the show from the folks in charge as well as a map showing where we'll be located in the speedway.

We have to be at the speedway no later than 7:30 AM and in the display area ready to show by 8:00 AM. The plan is to meet in the Starlight Stadium theater parking lot at at 7:00 and caravan from there. The theater is located just off northbound I-485 on northbound Salisbury Road on the right. The address is 11240 N Tryon St. Tryon changes over to Salisbury Rd in this area. It'll be the first road to the right after exiting 485 about 150 yds from the exit ramp.

At the theater I'll hand out the admission tickets (2 per car) and car parking passes (1 per car). The parking passes should be affixed to the windshield on the lower left side, basically on top of the inspection sticker. It's supposed to be out of the wiper arc but that's not possible on a Mini so we'll just live with it in the lower left corner. If you have a cell phone, please bring it with you and note the number on the parking pass so the speedway staff can get in touch with you should there be a problem and you're not with your vehicle. BTW, turning it on would be a good idea too. :-)

An additional note, Luke (AKA the Prez) will be bringing Bojangles bisquits to help with the hongries in the AM. Also, bring a cooler with drinks to keep yourselves hydrated. A lounge chair would be a good idea as well as it'll be a long day.

Should you have any questions give me a call at 704/708-5057.

Please add me to the list.

Thanks for heading up. I think this is the best non driving event that M2C2 participates in. It is so much fun to show off our MINIs. I have really enjoyed the past AutoFairs getting to meet people from other car clubs and looking at thousands of cars on display.

Please let me know if you want to start a list of M2C2 members that want to eat in the Speedway Club after the AutoFair ends at 6:00 pm. We have had a good turn out for the last two. Here is a link to the Speedway Club for more information.

Thanks
George

Don't wait til the last minute go ahead and plan for this. You have plenty of time to see all the cars, or people if your a people watcher. You can get all kind of ideas of what to do to your Mini next! I know some of you have to get up pretty early to drive here, but I will make sure we have plenty of Bojangles biscuits. Grab your lawn chair, cooler and cleaning tools and lets have a fun day; MOTOR ON! Luke President Mini Motoring Club of Carolinas

OK OK OK - Yes I have been elusive and hidden under a rock ... Truth is, I had to sell my company and detox from it a bit. Kids are now getting big, house is STILL under renovation. But the important thing ... the MINI made it throught the sell scratch free ... So I have been working on it, and would love to be able to show it off at this show ...

CHEERS!!!

Put me down for the show and dinner. I may have a conflict in Atlanta that day, but I'm hoping not to. Hate to miss a chance to show people how good MINI's can look.
