quadfins quadfins Member Registered: 02/11/06 Posts: 85 Loc: Eastern Virginia	I am planning for Charlotte. Where will the show field be located? I see on the HNR website the maps indicating vendor and car corral locations, but I would like to get an idea about routes from the host hotel to the show field. I understand it might be quite a busy traffic pattern. Also, and idea how many cars are registered for the show?

novaman novaman Member Registered: 06/11/00 Posts: 2395 Loc: Mebane, NC, USA	The AACA Show is outside the track off turn 2 near the water tower. The show cars and judges parking enter off that side road. I forgot the number I heard registered, but believe it was something like 400+. _________________________ novaman AACA Life member 1962-1965 Chevy II Novas

quadfins quadfins Member Registered: 02/11/06 Posts: 85 Loc: Eastern Virginia	Thanks for the info - this is most helpful. It looks like it is about a mile from the host hotel, Down the main road, a right, then left turn, then turn into the lot. I suppose traffic won't be too bad early Saturday AM.

LPugh LPugh New Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 9 Loc: Asheboro, NC	I had hoped that the AACA show would be inside the speedway along pit road. I attended a Hornet's Nest Region meet there last year and we parked on pit road. Not sure what condition the Red Field is going to be in. Best I remember it was gravel and dirt. _________________________ Zooland Region

LPugh LPugh New Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 9 Loc: Asheboro, NC	I stand corrected. Just received my registration packet for the Hornet's Nest Region Meet and the show field will not be in the Red Field as I had been told. The show field is in first parking lot on the left as you enter the rear area of the speedway. _________________________ Zooland Region

novaman novaman Member Registered: 06/11/00 Posts: 2395 Loc: Mebane, NC, USA	I couldn't remember where the red field was other than I knew there was flea market behind the back strech but not sure of the field name. Turn two area back there is fairly unfimilar area. Been there once when I took my car trailer to the AutoFair in hopes of a big find and they parked me there, and that's been better then ten years ago. _________________________ novaman AACA Life member 1962-1965 Chevy II Novas

volvopv volvopv Member Registered: 02/17/08 Posts: 13 Loc: NC	I registered my car for the meet. I received my tickets and a map this week. It will be off turn 2. The map shows it between the red field and Morehead Road. The information states the the interior roads are paved but the field is grass. It recommends taking US 49 to Morehead Road. I believe that it is outside the track to allow for a bigger show. They filled the frontstretch grass with additional car clubs. My only concern is that people may not know it is out there. With all the activity on Saturday I would start out early. _________________________ Bob Graham Columbus, NC 1965 Volvo PV544 1988 240 wagon

quadfins quadfins Member Registered: 02/11/06 Posts: 85 Loc: Eastern Virginia	Thanks for all the replies and information. I am now wondering about the potential for traffic gridlock. To get from the host hotel to the showfield Saturday morning, is the direct route OK, or will it be better to avoid the potential traffic jam, and go from the hotel, back onto the interstate, and loop around to the Morehead road entrance?

R W Burgess R W Burgess Long Time Member Registered: 06/13/02 Posts: 10080 Loc: Warsaw, Va.	My dilemma....I have reservations at the host hotel. Of course I didn't write down the name of the hotel, even though I have a confirmation number. I tried the Hornets Nest web site, no help. I also need to know where the judging school is being held and at what time? Don't need much huh? $\:\)$ Wayne

I'll be judging then taking photos for the newsletter, so won't be around the car much. _________________________ novaman AACA Life member 1962-1965 Chevy II Novas

R W Burgess R W Burgess Long Time Member Registered: 06/13/02 Posts: 10080 Loc: Warsaw, Va.	Dawn, hopefully, Mike and I will arrive around lunchtime tomorrow. Someone said I needed to go to judges school, so I can tell the difference between the front and the back of these antique cars of ours. That starts at 2pm, according to Pedro. That's where I'll be, if the creek don't rise. $;\)$ We'll see everyone there.
