SlowJoe,
I'll be there!... along with about 6 or 7 others from our Capitol City Corvette Club from Columbia, SC. Remember, I'm planning on coming by to see your Power Effects Exhaust.

I'm also trying to arrange a place for us to park inside the track.

I look forward to seeing you.

No, it's all makes and models (even fords). Seriously though, it's everything automotive, hot rods, classics, parts vendors, car clubs, cars for sale.

Going there can become expensive! I think most of the clubs will only be there Sat & Sun, though.

I think they're making a lot of the clubs park outside of the track on Sat. They're letting us on to pit road to park Sunday.

Later,

I heard about that. We were one of the lucky ones with the same spots both days.

I saw 2 Vettes for sale. They are both on the very outside row of vendors (not on the track itself) at the backstretch. A red 95 for 17k and a teal 91 for 9k. As usual not an very large amount of vette stuff for sale but there is some there. Pretty good deals on wheels and tires.

Paint Hill proper is a small community of one home (mine) between Southern Pines and Aberdeen. The population is 2, 3, or 4, depending on wether the kids are home..
We are about 25 miles from Fayetteville, 90 miles from Lowes Motor Speedway.

Further, if you're interested, Paint Hill got its' name over 100 years ago from native "paint rocks". These are ping pong ball to grapefruit size, round, and partly hollow. When broken open they contain colored powder. This powder can be used to color skin, cloth etc. It is suggested in these parts that Native Americans used this powder for these purposes. The color is almost always a rich blue-purple. If I ever get a Vette that needs a paint job I will have this color matched.
