Can't make it, Lake, but it's quite a show! The 1st time I went was back in the mid-'80s, and it was a thrill to walk up on the 2nd turn of the track and actually FEEL how steep that thing is banked! TV doesn't do it justice. I went looking for an Edelbrock TM-1 Tarantula manifold and found one. The number of vendors is staggering--it took a whole day just to walk around the race track infield looking at all the stuff! Who are you with?

I just show my car in the AACA show.  Some of my friends are Hornet's Nest officers, but I still have to work for a living and those positions are all filled by retired guys.  I have judged a bit, but again that takes time.

You're right about the track.  It's quite a site.  And you could get lost for three days just looking at all the vendor stuff.

A 68 Camaro (no not mine) won the Class 27H (includes 67 and 68), second time in a row for Charlotte AACA. 

There were over 50 1st Generation Camaros for sale in the car corral.  Prices are WAY UP --the AACA treasurer told me, it looked like Camaro prices had increased by about a third since the Spring show in April.

I had been saying that prices were lower in the South --NOT ANY MORE!  Good News if you've got one...
