What does the show consist of and does $10 for a family of 4 get four meals or just one? Just confused about two different fees.
 
The show consists of over 120 booths, swap meet, and the $10 covers everything on Friday including the meal for the entire family of 4.

Thanks,

Bill
 
Bill, it's been awhile since Calvin Wilson and myself have seen you since the Carolina Karters days at the Rock. Well we are back racing with my kids up here in Littleton, NC. Sure glad you stepped out to help make Karting more affordable and fun for the Whole family again with the AKRA! Hopefully Calvin and I can make the "THE AMERICAN KARTING SHOW" and see ya again.
 
We did have some great times at the Rock, look forward to seeing you and Calvin. I always said that the Family that races together, stays together!

Thanks,

Bill
 
Remember guys we are working on a live auction, theirs already roughly $2000 Retail in the till now for it... This is not a donation auction.. It is for profit.. Percentages are being worked out and will depend on auctioneer...

With this said we are in search of a auctioneer, hopefully he will be a racer as well..
Auction time will be forth coming..

Bill,Do you know what events are being held in the rest of the convention center?last year it was some kind of Home goods show and my wife was P/Od that she could have went with me and had something to do that did not have to do Go-kart crazy people.I have searched online and there website has nothing listed PLEASE HELP me out.
 
Greg,

The home show will be in the adjacent hall to us. We had quite a few families with kids come over to our show the last time. This will be great for the ladies that don't care about the good ole karting stuff.
 
Booths spaces for the main hall are going great, don't forget the swap meet and the live auction. For more details on the auction contact Jerry at Dover Power for details, should be a great deal.
