First time to Charlotte Auto Fair help

Heading to the Charlotte Auto Fair for the first time. Hoping to sell some things. Any advice on camping, hotels, ect, ect,? Any advice would much appreciated.

 

hotels are expensive close to the track...the further away the cheaper they get....guy in the space next to us stays in the back of his truck all weekend,because they have showers right at the track at the edge of the green field

 

Mark,,what is the space you are at? HRP

 

hi danny...green field row D spaces 84-85.....that flippin weather changes every day for next week...we are leaving wednesday night and be there by 5 am and are leaving on saturday to come home

 

A good many vendors camp on their space. In the back of the truck or on the ground. Charlotte Motor Speedway has good rest rooms and showers ... for the vendors use.

I have stayed at the Day's Inn @ Billy Graham Parkway. Clean, resonable and not too far away down I-85.

If you really want to sell ... price your stuff accordingly. A lot of the parts and junk @ the swap meet has more miles on it going back and forth to swap meets than it ever did installed on a vehicle.

 

I usually bring a tent and set it up on my space.

 

Beware of rubber snakes in the free water coolers.

 

Back when I was selling we stayed at the Days' end and Red Roof,,but nowadays I avoid the red roof. HRP

 

Thanks for the advice! I can just imagine the rubber snake gag!

 

I have a car spot on the track and the passes to go with it for 75.00 (normally 150.00) pm me if your interested.

 

In the past when I've attended GoodGuys Southeastern Nationals in October or races at the speedway, Huntersville has a few nice places and it's easy to get to the track without getting on in the traffic on the Interstate. Good Luck.
