Electricity is available upon request for an additional $25.00 charge and must be reserved in advance.

Please let us know in advance if your exhibit requires special equipment such as electricity or other such service. For large displays such as racecars and/or trailers, items will need to be in their booth/location on the first day of setup. Swap meet booths include space only without additional amenities and admission for one (1) person only and are intended for sale and “swap” of used parts only.

Booth Setup:

Thursday, February 1, 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm and Friday, February 2, 9:00 am – 7:00 pm

Booth Rental and Payment Schedule:

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required with the exhibitor registration form for trade show booths. The balance is due no later than February 2nd (day of setup) and payable prior to setup and prior to exhibitor passes being issued. A 20% surcharge will be added to booths not reserved by January 8, 2024. Swap meet booths require 100% full payment with registration for guaranteed reservation.

Exhibitor Agrees:

Exhibitor and his/her/its agents agree to abide by these terms and conditions and the direction of show personnel and facility event staff at all times for setup, show times, closing and teardown. No exhibitor shall be allowed to remove any part of an exhibit until teardown is officially permitted.

Fire, Health & Safety:

Exhibitors agree to abide by all applicable local, city, state and federal laws, ordinances and regulations. Failure to do so may result in removal from the event.

Operation:

It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to keep its exhibit open at all times during show hours. If for any reason the show management finds the method of operation, conduct, printed materials or any item of poor character or taste which is considered questionable, that exhibit is subject to removal. No food or beverage may be sold by exhibitors. Giveaways of concession-type items (hot dogs, boxes of popcorn, etc.) must be approved by facility personnel. Exhibitors shall confine their exhibits to their own booth space and not protrude beyond or otherwise enter another space including the aisleway(s).

Sales:

The exhibitor may sell or offer for sale any new auto/kart racing parts or merchandise; other merchandise must be consigned for sale in the auction or sold in a designated “swap meet” area. All “sold” merchandise from trade show and swap meet must be verified by a sales receipt for security to allow removal of goods from the building. Trade show and swap meet exhibitors are responsible for any taxes, licenses, fees or other obligations as required for doing business by state law. Exhibitor is solely responsible for the space assigned. Another company or non-exhibiting company may not sell from an exhibiting company’s booth or any other portion of the premises without written permission from management.

Setup & Teardown:

Exhibitors must check in and register between the times specified on the schedule. Show setup and teardown will be during specified times unless otherwise arranged and approved with show management beforehand. All exhibits must be torn down and removed from the building by 9:30 pm on Saturday, February 3, 2024.

All decisions of management are final and the Charlotte Racers Expo reserves the right to refuse any booth or booth activities as it sees fit for whatever cause.
