CCR is going to AutoFair!

Posted by rich.little, September 1, 2008

September 6, 2008 to September 7, 2008

CCR-SCCA has 5 spaces for the Food Lion AutoFair on Sept 6 & 7. We will be going as guests of the Carolinas Miata Club.

Currently we have one available space for Saturday, none for Sunday (that’s one vehicle pass and 2 people passes per space). If you’d like to attend on Saturday please contact Rich Little.

Because we are guests of CMC, we will be using their schedule. We meet each morning at the Jack-in-the-Box on Speedway Blvd. at 6:15 a.m. Precisely at 7:00 a.m., we head for the track and should be in place by 7:30. We go this early because the front gate closes after a certain time in the morning; and it becomes a long, convoluted ordeal to get to our spot.

Car and people passes will be issued at Jack-in-the-Box each morning before departure to the track. If you will be towing, please contact me for your passes and instructions.

You can bring — and are encouraged to bring — chairs, coolers, sunscreen, hats, and food. The only money you need is for food or stuff that you buy. Admission and parking are free to participants. “For Sale” signs are not allowed on cars displayed in the club area. Part of the AutoFair is a car corral, so if you want to sell your car, you can do it there.

The only requirement is that your car MUST BE CLEAN. The AutoFair attracts over 100,000 people, so we want to show nice cars for the crowd.

I’ll be working with CMC on bringing a canopy and table. We will most likely be at the end of their group, separated by our canopy.

Update from the Auto Fair folks: We are very excited to announce that none other than Carroll Shelby will be making an appearance at the Food Lion AutoFair next weekend.  The legendary car builder will meet the public during a one-hour autograph session on Saturday, Sept. 6.  The special event will take place in the 3M Car Care Garage at 10:00 a.m.
