Same from me Bill. I was keen to meet you in person and to thank you for your advice and help with my search for a car.

you guys are all killing me here, Charlotte, Vegas, while I sit up here in Ontario Canada starring at the snow wishing I could attend, but Charlotte is 1400 miles and Vegas 4100, so flying would be one option, but i guess I'll just look for all the pics you guys will post later

Rob - You could take one day to drive into Motown and then a day caravan with me down to Charlotte . We'd be one heck of a sight to see . Registration is back open, LOL.

I Know about Las Vegas
we have driven to and through Las Vegas stayed
In and just outside of Las Vegas many times since 1989
and have attended a annual car event on Fremont Street till the event
moved to Reno and then out of the State of Nevada
I know about the Charlotte show, but i know nothing about Charlotte!
Vegas is the only place I Know
If someone wants to start a Charlotte event thread related to
the lay of the land and what to expect....that would be good!
About Las Vegas! we may or may not be attending because of a conflict
with the date, but every attempt to attend is in the works.
con artist, pick pockets and off the strip robbery's are common place
Not registering for event (not sure we can go)
means we will be forced to stay off site
and maybe in a nearby city (still good) but you should be aware
of the dangers of the Down Town area.
You will see a large Police Presence in the down town area
and allot that you will not see.
Men get out those 80's fanny packs because you will want to have your
valuables attached to and in front of you
also have a secondary zipper lock and a secondary
attaching point because they (the bad guys) will be working as a team
click and rip!
wife and or girl friend or both (this is Vegas)
NO over the shoulder Bags!
Slot machines are everywhere (even at the airport)
The hotel you are staying at will offer all kinds a perks to keep you
and your money at their hotel.
Some areas of Vegas allows open containers (drinking on the street)
so expect drunks all about!
Stay with and in your group. Most all this Heads Up stuff applies
primarily to after dark because
that is when Vegas pops and the your attention will be
distracted by the light's and sounds. The bad guys (and girls) are
professionals at their trade and they will spot a tourist.
Some of the smaller town's that are a short drive from Vegas like
Henderson and Boulder City are good alternatives to Down Town.
LV is just like any other large town USA
Wall-mart and fast food what not's like any town USA
allot a pawn shops, Elvis impersonators And car stuff!
Be safe and and have fun!
"What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
and you want to return home safe.

Is there any sort of breakdown by day, who is attending the Charlotte show? I was shooting for Saturday but will only be able to attend on Friday as of right now. Hopefully there's a good showing.

I am getting into Charlotte on Wednesday with my buddies Todd and Frank. Not in main hotel but one next door. Will stay until Sunday afternoon. I will be easy to spot, most very likely the only Firebird Formula convertible. If you see more than one, mine is black...lol.

As good as the offer sounds Mike, unfortunately I'm out, even after the generous offer from CHP, can't make it, I'm sure all .net guys and gals will take tons of pics for me
