If you are here during the AutoFair and you like cars, you have to make this event. Tons of Vettes, hot rods, classics of all kinds. And vendors from everywhere.

New? Other than the AutoFair we're about 20 years behind the rest of the country... We could always have a get together welcoming you to the area with lots of beer & scantily clad women.

If you go to Autofair this weekend, I guarantee you will be looking for another conference to attend in Charlotte this fall so you can come back for the fall Autofair. Its the "car thing" to do this weekend.

If the Autofair is not enough nothing else car wise will be.. It is held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and incompasses the infield and acres of space outside of the track itself. It will take you two days to even walk all of it..
