Bumblebee is coming south........finally!! Just received a flyer for the Charlotte, NC Autofair event at Lowe's Motor Speedway September 13-16th stating that the Bumblebee car will be there. Not sure which days, so if you want to verify before you travel, go to www.lowesmotorspeedway.com or call 704-455-3205

edit: Just read where the GMC Topkick or Ironhide will also be on display.

Can someone please send one of the concepts to the middle of the country? I live in Kansas, and I'll drive hours to see it, but nobody remembers us here.

I feel your pain.....I just drove from Smithfield, NC to Landover, MD last weekend and got this in the mail today. Don't think I can say here what I said in the garage.......I'm just gonna be thankful that now I can say I saw the red pusher and Bumblebee.......makes the wait a little easier. Not the same, but my pics of the red pusher are located here..... http://bowtiebrigade.net/bowtiebrigade_029.htm

A little disappointing that for one of the largest automotive events in the Southeast that will take up the track, the infield and most of the parking outside the track for cars, parts vendors and manufacturers, that the Bumblebee car will only be there on Sun, the last day, the crappiest day with the least attendance. I'm talking about Sept 16 at Lowes Motor Speedway in Concord, NC. That just doesn't make sense to me. I'm not a marketing person, but I would think you would want to "meet and greet" with the most people you could. Everybody leaves that morning except for the people that live in the area.

For whatever reason, right now they are not releasing the schedules for the red, silver, or orange cars.

So there's no way to tell on where those might show up.
Though I'm sure appearances will be posted a few days in advance.

sorry -- but this was the day that the track asked for the car........and we did everything we could to get it there -- please understand that we are trying to hit as many events as possible.

Well, that being the case, they shouldn't have sent out 4" x 12" flyers stating that the car would be there from the 13-16th.......little misleading and it's gonna lead to pissed off people, mainly a lot of parents taking their kids. My mechanic WAS planning to take his son to see it for his birthday, but can't now, due to the time or lack of time that it will be there.........what makes it worse is that after I found this out, I called the track to see what they would say........woman said "oh no, it's going to be here for the whole show". They are as bad as dealers for as much as they know.....and of course they aren't going to tell you that something won't be there for fear of losing your $10 entry money.

I understand that it's hard to make everyone happy and get these cars to all points of the globe for people to see, but it just doesn't make sense to take a car to the last, and shortest, day of a 4 day event.......not my call obviously, but honestly, it seems like more trouble than it is worth.
