After waiting to long to book a booth for the Indy Swap Meet, I have been told all the spots in the "SPRINTCAR" area have been soldout!

If anyone has a space that they arent going to use or maybe half a booth I could rent I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks Landon Simon

How many shows are you basing this on? Last year was the first time we even had a second building with the Champions Pavilion. Never heard a complaint. Not one! Over 400 people actually bought their admission tickets in that second building! So over 400 walked through building 2, before we even count the first person that either was shuttled, or walked over from the first building! So do you want to try again on the "doesn't get near the traffic" part?

The only other time we had a 2nd building was 4 years ago when we first moved the show to the Fairgrounds into 2 smaller buildings. At that show, it was about a 60/40 split between vendors in each building (companies like Impact Racing were in building 2, and have been with us ever since), and the vendors in building 2 did very well! Were you at that show?... And this was before we even had an Auction!

Bottom line: If someone is there to buy, or think they are in the market for something, they're going to look through the entire show. Let alone walk through the Auction... Which is where the 2nd building is!!! The few people that don't walk through the auction building (building 2) are not there to buy anything anyways, and would not be a concern to you in either building.

The 2nd building this year is good enough for Bob Pierce Race Cars, and was actually requested by M & R Welding.

In the last 4 days You have registered, but did not pay, followed minutes later by an e-mail to which we have responded (to both). You have private messaged, to which we responded again. You have had someone else call and ask all the same questions that you asked previously, for you. And now this post with your insinuation that the 2nd building doesn't have good traffic.

Taking a lead from Tony Barhorst, I will defend our show from falsehoods!

With that said, my wife and I agree that at this point, maybe this show just isn't for you.

Not actually connected, just out the back door of the Champions Pavilion, Southwest corner and across the alley (catty corner). About 100 feet.
