It seemed strange to see the vehicles parked on the show field without their owners nearby. Many owners had their rain gear on as did their vehicles. \u00a0Most participants were either huddled in their vehicles or in the AACA tent socializing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2857\" src=\"https:\/\/ncregionaaca.com\/region\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2018se57.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2858\" src=\"https:\/\/ncregionaaca.com\/region\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSCN1374.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The other car Club displays under the grandstand were dry.\u00a0 We ventured out to the flea market hunting elusive parts.\u00a0 Over 50% of the vendors were already gone. Vendors had good days on Thursday and Friday, but left to avoid the heavy rains Saturday. There were many empty vendor spaces and puddles were many had left. I tried unsuccessfully the purchase a few things from one vendor in the Green Field who really did not want to get out his pickup truck to look for anything under his tarps. I came away with only one piece of wet aluminum trim for $20. The only other things we purchased were were an expensive $3 coffee and a $5 bottle of Sprite.<\/p>\n<p>See More pictures at:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ncregionaaca.com\/region\/?p=132\">2018 Southeastern AACA Show<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: large;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2018 Hornets Nest National Meet April 7, 2018 \u00a0 This is Charlotte in the spring.
