 Hornets Nest Region was required by the Speedway NHRA schedule to change the April 2012 schedule.  There was no choice but to move the schedule to April 19-22, 2012.  HNR regrets the inconvenience that may have resulted to our Vendors and all Hobbyists - and also to other car events that were scheduled based on previous information.  The regular April schedule will return in 2013.  Great news is that the Fall Charlotte AutoFair Event moves back to September beginning in 2012 - September 20-23, 2012.  See the calendar on this website for more info.

11,000 Vendor Spaces chock full of Restoration Parts & Cars For Sale in the Blue-Orange-Green Fields!  Plus more than 1,600 Vehicles For Sale in the Car Corral on the Track Oval and additional vehicles in the Green Car Corral - All this happens Thursday to Sunday.

In addition, more than 50 other Car Clubs display their vehicles on Saturday & Sunday.

Don't miss this great Spring Meet event -- thousands of beautiful and rare automobiles for sale and on display.  Allow several days to see everything -- something changes every day to add more excitement to the 'fields of automotive dreams.'

The Hornets Nest Region welcomes you to participate in Charlotte AutoFair, the greatest collector car event in the Southeast!  More than thirty years old and still going strong -- come join us for the Spring and Fall Events!

Always many Collector Vehicle Bargains at Charlotte AutoFair!

      The Hornets Nest Region, AACA, will again produce our world famous and much celebrated Spring Event, which will provide more than 11,000 collector car Flea Market Vendor spaces to buy and sell restoration parts and supplies for almost any vehicle ever produced -- also included are more than 2,000 Car Corral vehicle spaces for buying and selling collector vehicles of all descriptions!  HNR plans for more than 150,000 Eager Collector Vehicle Buyers and Restorers to attend the Spring Meet of Charlotte AutoFair!  The Hornets Nest Region, AACA, has produced Charlotte AutoFair for more than thirty years to thrill auto enthusiasts from all over the world!

      Public parking is much easier to access adjacent to the Green Field.  Use Entrance 'A' from US29 - park adjacent to the Green Field and purchase tickets at the Green Field entrance.  

      Shop freely between the Green Field and Red Field outside the track and the Orange Field and Blue Field inside.  Use the Underpass Gate 26 and Gate 25 over the Track Oval to shop between outside and inside.  Have your hand stamped if needed to leave Charlotte AutoFair and come back the same day.

     Charlotte AutoFair proceeds, rain or shine -- keep an eye on the weather and make your decision accordingly!
