The event is this week Dave. Here is what we have so far. Taken directly from Annette Randall's (Auto Fair Staff) email to me.

Autograph sessions with Saleen Mustang creator Steve Saleen - Friday, Sept. 11 at 10 - 11 a.m. and 2 - 3 p.m. in Victory Circle

A collection of Saleen Mustangs commemorating the company's 25th anniversary (from what I am hearing , this is Debbie's cars)


....no other info has been relayed about any other Saleen's being allowed in the field. I would say that Debbie's cars will be placed around the Victory Circle with Steve inside it.


Food Lion AutoFair hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., on Sunday. Tickets are available at the gates and are just $10 for adults while children 12 and under are admitted free when accompanied by an adult. Parking for the event is $5.
On Friday, Sept. 11, in honor of their public service, all police, fire and emergency workers showing a badge or ID will receive free admission to the Food Lion AutoFair.

Thanks & One Last Question
 
Thanks for all the info I hope to see you guys there. By the way is it realistic to think that I can get Steve to Autograph my car?

We had a great time and spent some time with Debbie and looked back at some old pictures from years past of different Saleen events across the nation that she attended. Rudy & Betsy came out to dinner with us on Saturday night with YMR. Debbie was going to, but had family in town, so her and Marylin stayed back. Here are some pics.
