Korey & I attended the meeting for AutoFair last night. Our location will be to the left side Smith Tower entrance. We will be SORT OF in the main grandstand tunnel area. Instead of being completely in the tunnel, we'll be on a concrete terrace, beside the main pedestrain entrance at Smth Tower. A Chevelle club will be along the front border of the tunnel, we are on the terrace just behind them. We will be able to pull along into the tunnel ONLY if it rains, but at least we are where we are, and can get out of weather if needed. The amount of cars in the main grandstand has been cut back due to grandstand areas getting new seats put in. A change from meets past, the gates to get into the event will open at 6:30am. This should help us to get in place a bit easier, the earlier we can get in the better. The AACA is having a major meet at April AutoFair, so traffic is expected to be worse than in years past in and around the Speedway.
If anyone needs to drop out of the show, please let me know ASAP so I can contact alternates to step in. Attendance is crucial to staying in the show, some other clubs have been busted for poor attendance and for members leaving out early, some as early as 11-12:00! We are a big part of the Speedway's show, and they expect us to be there as early & as long as possible.Our group has always been very close to where we should be with our attendance numbers, let's keep up the good show of vehicles! We are a very diverse & unique group compared to the tons of FBody, big blocks, & vettes. The public needs to know we exist. I know it makes a long day, but it's only 2x /year. So come on and enjoy the show & vendors! We should get a ton of attention where we're at(right where GQ public comes in), it will be an interesting day as always listening to the comments.
One more inportant note..the GS/GN group will be on the other side of the tower, so if you are not cruising in with the majority of us, MAKE sure you pass the Mini Coopers in the tunnel to get to our spot, don't park with the wrong group! I'll send out Korey's cell # in event anyone gets hung out on the highway coming in, and can't make the meet up for passes around 7-7:15am at Ruby Tuesday parking lot on Speedway Blvd. Those needing passes mailed, I'll get them to you within the next few weeks, but if you have to cancel PLEASE get them back to me ASAP so we can fill the spot. Any questions or info don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks !!! You all are a Supergroup!
