Charlotte AutoFair info

Re: Musclecar show in Charlotte,NC
 

The AutoFair is more a swap meet than a show. There will be a couple thousand cars there but you have to be affiliated with a car club to get your car in. You can't just drive up and enter your car. I had my Beaumont there last year. It is worth the trip especailly if you are looking for parts. It is the largest swap meet in the southeast.

Thanks guys. Rick I met you with my father (Leon) a couple of years ago that the Supercar Reunion. He will be visiting us in Roanoke,VA that weekend and we will have to make the trip down. Thanks again.

...I have alot of family in Roanoke and sometimes get up there and go to "Fast Freddies" in Salem on Sat. nite....
..Have you been there? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Musclecar show in Charlotte,NC
 

Thanks, I was just wondering on the show as well, and could not remember the name, dates etc.

I do not have any of supercars as many on this site do, I do have a nice original uncut 71 Hugger Orange Blazer (original color) that I may carry up there. Yes, it is a convertible, and I may just take the top off.

And small world, live in Atlanta,and from Roanoke myself actually Catawba, VA but no one ever heard of Catawba so I just say Roanoke.

Re: Musclecar show in Charlotte,NC
 

No, but I know Bradshaw road!

I lived over the mountain, Bradshaw road is before the mountain. I lived near the hospital in Catawba, behind "Keffers" store.

Have you been to the homeplace to eat? I knew the people that owned the house before and played and hunted the entire property there.No way to do that now with all posted signs.
Went to Northside High school, and rode the bus 1 hour to school from Catawba!(up hill both ways....)

While their, growing up my first car was a 69 L34 Chevelle, Silver. My parents wanted me to buy this car as they knew the person that had it.....they had no idea what the car was or what it would do. Just that it was a nice car from a trused person. Raced on WIlliamsom road all the time. Blew the engine up, saved my money, bought a L88 at Dave Hallman Chevrolet that is now Berglund chevrolet for $735 over the counter NEW!Car screamed. Paid $1800 for it with 36K on it.

One of my friends told me Dave Hallman Chevrolet had a 69 ZL1 for sale at his dealership. At the time did not know what it was, but thought they were crazy for having a car at that price. Not sure if it sold.
Anyway, here in ATL now, go to Catawba 2,3 times per year, mainly in Nov for Hunting season.

Re: Musclecar show in Charlotte,NC
 

John, I Remember you now! I used to go to all the wrestling matches, with my brother who graduated in 66 from Northside. You were very good as well as i remember undefeated several years? right?
That was the team........Coach Shelton, etc, Northside was the powerhouse! Mark Reinheart(spelling?)Paulis Johnson, and many others.

I also remember when Mike Jamison got beat in state at Glenvar. First time he ever was beaten I think. Had a brother named Andy. Hear about these guys?
I think last I heard Alan Journel is Principal at Northside. Wow, he must have changed.

I sold that camaro a few months ago. Bought a 71 Hugger orange blazer, 350 all original. Cannot get away from the hugger orange for some reason. Yes it is the original color.
I saw according to your post, you have a yenko camaro. Is that right?If so, can you give the scoop on it, where you found it, condition etc.
Mike

Re: Musclecar show in Charlotte,NC
 

....Yea, Coach Shelton was a great coach...over 4 years we never lost a match ( as a team )...we tied once...
...My senior year I had won the District, won the Regionals, and lost the State tournament by one point....
...to Steve Delaney ( who was totally blind ) from VSDB
...( that's who I met in the regional finals..)
......
...anyway,...back to the Charlotte Auto Fair......
...For anyone going there,...you may want to check out the Club Restuarant up on the 4th floor of the main tower...overlooking the track...It normally is just open to "members"...but ONLY AT THE "Spring" Charlotte Auto Fair...they open it up to the general public...if you are inside the track ...and walk up the concrete steps to the first floor lobby where they sell tickets...go to the elevators that will take you up to the 4th floor members restuarant...for about $9.00 you have a Buffet with as much food as you will ever want and you can sit by the windows an look over the track....Check it out ..You'll love it..
