I will be heading down to Florida the end of February to attend three events and I wanted to seek input from my Southern Corvette Friends (that would be all of you living South of the Mason Dixon) if any of you are attending the Winter Auto Fest event?




I will be attending the Auto Fest during the day Friday the 24th; the NASCAR Camping World Truck race Friday night; back to Auto Fest on Saturday; attending Daytona 500 on Sunday the 26th; and either sleeping in on Monday the 27th or attending the 500 if it is is delayed due to weather and runs on Monday. In any case I will be there.

I have decided to drive down and will have my truck and plenty of room for parts. If you have some parts and might be willing to meet up then please look for "AllVettes4Me" in the C-3 parts for sale section and my WTB ads.

I am willing to shop for others and have done that in the past shows including Corvettes at Carlisle for Priya, Dennis (BMan) and others. If I can help you look or find something, let me know.

If you are attending, or know of the event, have any suggestions, ideas, want to grab a beer, then let me know.

Hope to meet some new old friends in Florida.

Best regards,

If health, life, timing etc allows looks like this will get the bat and tina outta the cave,
A good friend don who makes that sweet chrome bumper conversion will be there and he has a set of fiberglass stock replica bumpers waiting for me.

David, this is great news! You can bring that LS motor you've been wanting to give me. And, I'll even let you stay at my house while you're here

Wee

David....Any clue when you will be going thru the Atlanta area either on the way or back home....? If timing is right lunch at the world famous 4-Way is on me.....There is a nice big empty parking lot right across the street for the truck and trailer.

I am thinking of driving my C3 down from Jacksonville to have it looked at by the judges.

AllC34Me

We won't be far apart, I'll be staying in Maitland during my visit. I thought would be central between Lakeland and Daytona for my planned activities during my visit. Looking forward to the visit for sure. Will you be heading to the swap meet, show, fly in?

I could be persuaded
Actually I didn't know anything about it until you started this thread. I would absolutely go if you needed a co-pilot or 5th wheel.
At least contact me so we can meet up for lunch. My house is literally a couple miles from Maitland.

How large is the car corral there? I'm considering making the trip, to try & find a car?
Thanks
Jim

I would contact Carlisle, their web site doesn't really call that out clearly.

Brian,
I arrive in Athens on Wednesday afternoon the 22nd, depart Thursday morning for Maitland, FL.
I return to Athens on Monday the 27th in the morning, pick up the 69 rolling chassis, pack up my trailer, and head for Charlotte for the evening. Unfortunately I am a man on a mission and my plans are a bit tight on time this time around. I do appreciate the offer though, I really do, just have to make it another time please.
Thank you very much.

My plans are to arrive on Thursday afternoon/early evening. I am in Maitland the evenings of the 23-26, leaving out early the 27th. I have plans to head to Lakeland Friday for the day, Daytona for the evening race; Saturday at Lakeland for the day. No other plans Saturday. Sunday I will attend the Daytona 500.
Let me know if you want to meet up.
Best regards,
David

PM'd you.

I checked to web site but not getting an answer
Anyone know about how big the swap meet is?
About how many vendors?

Alan 71

Hi,
If you look at the list of vendors there appears to be hundreds. (A thousand?)
If the percentage of Corvette vendors for this event is similar to the percentage at Spring and Fall Carlisle that would mean dozens to maybe a hundred?
Regards,
Alan

The car corral isn't overly impressive IMHO. Although its a 'Carlisle Event' its nothing like what you'll find at the Carlisle Corvette meet.

Is it worth the admission? Yes. Is it worth the admission and a looooong drive? Eh.

jim2527

I would make the drive from Eustis....

I'm here for Daytona Speed week. Lakeland is added icing.
