Fall 2010 Food Lion Auto Fair
Fall 2010 Food Lion AutoFair - At Charlotte Motor Speedway On Saturday August 28th.
M2C2 has again been invited to participate in the AutoFair car show at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday August 28th from 8:00am until 6:00pm.
We have been given space for 20 MINIs to be displayed. The AutoFair will be awarding 5 trophies to the MINIs in our club.
If you have never been to the AutoFair you are in for a treat. More than 150,000 people attend this event over a 4 day period. Please check this link for more information.

This is an honor for our club to be invited to attend this event. We need to fill all 20 spaces. You must be a club member with dues current to participate. Also note that all cars are expected to stay for the entire time. The people attending the show pay to enter while we have no entry fee. Please post here to be added to the list. Once the list is full we'll add names to the waiting list as there are always cancellations.
We need to be in place by 7:30 AM.
The plan is to meet at the Starlight Theater parking lot just off I-485 at Hwy 29 around 6:00 and caravan the last couple of miles by about 6:30 as we need to be in place by 7:30. Entrance passes and car tags will be handed out at the theater.
Be sure to bring chairs, drinks, munchies and whatever cleaning gear you think you may need for last minute polishing. We would love to see some new faces attend, and promise a good time!! Come on out!!
I'll be attending the informational meeting this coming Thursday evening, and will post any updates after then.
Here's an update: I attended the Thursday evening meeting, and picked up our tickets. Our location has changed again this year. We've been pushed further around the area that we were in last Auto Fair (further away from the auction). The Auto Fair folks expressed concern about vandalism that apparently happened to several displayed cars last show. They suggested that club members keep a close eye on your cars, and if you leave the area, don't leave the windows open or car unlocked. Anyhow, the new location is almost at the end of that level, so we may not get much traffic, but on the plus side, we won't be blasted by the autioneer.

Said goodbye to Hermione today
I will not be able to participate because I'm no longer a MINI owner. Hermione is going to a new home in the Burlington, NC, area. I have enjoyed the two Auto Fairs I showed in, and the several club meals I attended. I'll still wave to MINI drivers, even though y'all won't know why.
If I go to Auto Fair as a spectator, I'll be sure to look for M2C2.
Take care, all.

The auction is on the same level, however, we're much further away from it this time (thankfully)! We're all the way around pretty close to the end of the level we were on last time. Hope it works well.
Come on peeps, we need 10 more participants....let's step up!!
