swap meet at Nationals

[GoMangoBoys]

I know this year is likely to be different, but typically, how much of the show is swap meet space vs car show?
Thanks.

It's usually half and half....2500-2800 show cars and around 3000 vending spots I think...

I love the swap meet!  It's enormous!!  I spent most of my time in the swap.  Only about a 1/4 of my time looking at the awesome cars.

Keep in mind this year that some large vendors will NOT be there:
Mega Parts
Vans Auto
DMT
Accurate Ltd
etc...

It's only supposed to be 50% of usual show.  Big names are out but alot of the small vendors will still be there. I hope there are some deals this years.

Their website says it's still on, much to my surprise. Around here all dragstrips are still closed

I'm planning on attending, it will be interesting to see what larger vendors do attend.  They will get my business.

Alan, thanks for the call out and support.  We will be at Carlisle next week unless things were to change.  We already know that the attendance will be way down for both vendors and spectators.  We will be bringing our usual assortment of pieces, but a reduced volume.  In years past, we filled up a 3000 square foot tent, this year we are going with a 1600 square foot setup.  So if there should be any special request, please let me know as the truck will be loaded out by Sunday afternoon.

Our spaces are located right next to building T in rows H and I in spot numbers 137 through 143.  Everyone be safe in your travels and we will see you at Carlisle next week!!!

Best of luck...stay safe....

  I love walking the parts isles. Even if I don't " need" anything.  There is a vendor there that almost every year I buy my case of Brad Penn oil from etc.... Always enjoy seeing "what's around"  I even enjoy parts hunting for other people. Always more fun spending someone else's money!

I arrived today at 6:30 AM and left at 6pm.  I am tired.  Got some good stuff.  I will make another pass thru the swap tomorrow.
