Despite the obvious issues, myself and a couple of friends attended the Fall Auto Fair at Lowes Motor Speedway. I actually saw 3 Vega's for sale. Two were drag racers, and I didn't ask the price. The other was a pretty rough, (and I'm being kind!), '74-'75 with an asking price of $5200.00! At least they're starting to show up at some of these events, but asking $5200.00 for that car was beyond optimistic. I didn't take anything to sell, and didn't really buy anything. As for the rioting, we cancelled out reservations at a motel in Charlotte and camped at the track. We had friends who stayed at the hotels without any issues at all, but we had no idea what was going on, so we cancelled. I spoke with an AACA official who lived nearby, who told me that none of the rioters that had been arrested, (at that time at least), were from North Carolina, let alone Charlotte. I'm looking forward to the Spring show already.
