Convention help

[David P.]

I only live 3 hours away from Charlotte. Thinking of driving down tomorrow Thursday just for the day. Haven't been to a convention before. Will there be lots of cars to see? Will there be vendors selling Corvette stuff? Is most things at the speedway?
Any help appreciated.

Re: Convention help

I think you'll find the Convention worthwhile. But, remember a few things:

(1) You'll HAVE to register and pay for admission.

(2) You CAN get a 'day pass' for less money, but it will restrict your access to the judging field on a look-only basis.

(3) I suspect there will be some vendors selling parts, but don't expect a HUGE vendor turn out akin to NCRS Florida, Bloomington Gold or Carlisle.

Why? By the time most NCRS members get to the point of entering their cars for judging at the National level, they've done the MAJORITY of their parts shopping, so end user demand isn't as great as it might be at other meets...

David,

Adding to Jack's comments, Thursday you'll see PVs, Bowtie and Crossed Flag judging. You will also see rest of the cars on the field, but most will probably have their hoods closed. The Flight/Duntov and McLellan judging will take place on Friday and Saturday.

If you love "Rusty Parts" look up Eddie Wass at Carlisle.

Re: Convention help

Sent you a pm. The convention is at Zmax dragway (very near Charlotte Motor Speedway) As you would expect at an NCRS National, there is an incredible collection of corvettes on display. It would be well worth a daytrip for you.
