matt5858 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I have a good idea for yall for having a swap meet! How about having a swap meet in the front main parking lot the morning of the banquet on the 31st. I would show up with things to sale and I am sure there are more people that would like to participate. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatKam10 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 That would be awesome. Maybe on another day though. Get some advertising out and maybe a car show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstang Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yeah doing a car show down in the CTS area instead of up north would work better for alot of us down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast18 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 When I organized the swap meet we had several years ago it was on a saturday when the track had practice going on. Bailey's Burgers was open and there was access to the rest rooms. There was plenty of room in the parking lot and the area that was used for vendors was overflowing. We need to get with the track and set it up a couple of months in advance so as to get the word out and make sure it doesn't conflict with other swap meets or races on the same date. I advertised on craigslist and other sites that were free. More than just racers showed up. Lots of hotrodders and other gearheads too. I used to attend and sell at swap meets starting in the 80's. It was made clear through advertising that it was happening "rain or shine" and for everyone to clean up their area. It went exceptionally well and I still get asked when there is going to be another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyRodriguez Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Great Idea! Guys and gals feel free to haul your stuff to CTS next Saturday the 31st and the main parking lot is yours from 2-6PM to swap/sell your stuff. Please stay towards the grandstand entrance as not to effect the karting customers. Hope it all goes well we do ask that nothing be left behind please haul off all remaining items.

Doyle Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Any Bando teams coming to the swap/sell, I've got a lot of great stuff to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast18 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think we should all spread the word. It's short notice but lets make the best of it. I know I'd like to sell some of the stuff I bring so I am going to get as many people to come as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast18 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Cory , you'll have to bring your own truck load. If I don't have to work I'm probably going to load up a few plastic tubs of parts along with the old Grand Stock . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
