Spring 2011 Food Lion AutoFair - At Charlotte Motor Speedway On Saturday April 9th.

***IMPORTANT UPDATES***
I attended the informational meeting last night (3/15) and here are some changes:

1. We will be in a new location this year which promises A LOT of traffic which is nice, we will be in the grassy area between pit road and the start/finish line. This means we will be outside (hopefully with a warm sunny day), if it does rain we will be moved inside. We will also be allowed to set up a canopy/tent or two so we can get out of the sun (if anybody has a pop-up please let me know).

2. I have changed our meeting point for the morning because I noticed that the exit for 29/49 off 85 is closed for construction and I don't know when it will reopen. Instead of the theater we will meet at the Harley dealer at 85 and Bruton Smith (see below for map).

3. I have arranged for us to exchange judging duties with the Carolina Opel club, we have done this with the Miata club for years but I thought it was time for a change of pace. Conveniently, the Opel's are going to be set up right next to us.

M2C2 has again been invited to participate in the AutoFair car show at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday April 9th from 8:00am until 6:00pm.

 

We'll bring a couple of cars.

 

I will be out of state for this event, but good luck to everyone who goes and you will have a great time. Might as well sign up for the EUROS on sunday cause if you win Best of Show you have to come back Sunday and might as well win a couple times.

 

I'll be there for sure!

 

Count me in as well. Looking forward to it.

 

See original post, I have added some new info / changes (in pink) from the meeting last night. Most importantly our meeting spot for the morning has changed.

Thanks,
Mark

I'm pretty excited. I'm trying to get a bunch of people to head over there from work. Should be a good showing this year. Cant wait to see all the changes on everyons cars!

 

There may be a change of plans, I may not go to Nashville and if so I will attend maybe with both Mini's. I will know for sure next week.

 

AWESOME!!! Go pick that thing up!

 

I should find out today when it will arrive. Suspose to ship it to my front door.

 

Looks like we need some more Mini's... Where are all the M2C2 members?? This is a great club event and a great car event to attend. Come on and sign up...

 

I am so bummed....I have to work EVERY DAMN WEEK-END in April....so I won't be able to make it to the Spring Auto Fair to defend my title!

Hope everyone has a great time....it's such a fun show!

 

I Will Be Able To Come? Will Have To Work Overnight. Might Be A Little Tired.

 

Great, the more the merrier! Please tell us about you and your car, I don't believe we've met? If you are not yet a member you will have to fill out your application and waiver beforehand. We are finalizing the new documents now so they should be up shortly under the membership info post at the top of the M2C2 forum (I will post when the new forms are up).

Thanks!
Mark

 

Just don't snore too loudly, you might wake some of us up.

 

More people are signing up! Come join the fun....don't be left out!

We want a strong showing this year!

 

I have a canopy if needed. Let me know.
Ed

 

I've got one also. Don't know if it'll fit in the mini though. Ill try to fit it today.

 

We're good, we will have 2 on hand if we need them.

Thanks!

 

o.k., only one car now, classic won't make it.

 

That's a bummer, but glad YOU can make it.

 

Well even though I am a Tennis Pro and work for myself, I informed my students that I was not going to be teaching saturday and they were all pissed. Not because of missing this one saturday but spring break starts the following weekend and I will be gone the 16th through the 23 which means that if I don't teach this coming saturday they will miss 3 weekends of lessons instead of just 2. But it is ok if these people go out of town often and cancel their lessons. So I am still on the fence about teaching or doing the autofair. I really want to do it. I have had to back out a couple of other times. What would you guys do? Just say tough it, they can get over it. I never cancel lessons, the only time is when I go out of town on vacation once maybe twice a year.

 

Well Eric,

You obviously have to do what is best for you....but we would love to have you at the show, it has been a while and your car/trailer combo is very cool. BUT, we will understand if you can't make it considering that is how you make a living! Just look at it this way, if you don't give lessons for 3 weeks you will have 3 times the knowledge to pass on when you return! Plus it will be very difficult for you to teach on Saturday when you are thinking about the Auto Fair.

Hope you can make it!
