Convention Info....Vendors..Swap meet

[Jerry W.]

Car is in long term Rehab...Would like to attend National in Charlotte as an observer to see some nice cars and maybe find some needed parts...Cannot find any info about vendors or swap meet and how this may be set up....Can anyone share any info on this.

The convention web site and Driveline seems to be set up for registration of poeple with cars to show only.

Thanks in advance.....Jerry (49925)

Re: Convention Info....Vendors..Swap meet

Typically, NCRS Regional and National meets have a modest showing of swap meet parts vendors. But, the annual Florida Regional (on your plate right now) is a true exception to the rule! There, we tend to see a HEALTHY turn out of swap meet parts vendors.

Some believe it's the club's policy of rotating Regional/National events (different physical location/changing dates) that causes this. The bigger vendors are thought to have difficulty scheduling their attendance when specifics change each year...

Hey, don't write it off! The NCRS National Convention is RICH in terms of high quality restored cars to see, technical sessions and training schools to attend. My only comment was NOT to expect the swap venue to rival Bloomington/Carlisle...

Jerry, Check Dick Whittington's 2010 Convention post for the Convention contact person and give them a call about their swap meet plans. Gary....
