we encourage your club participation.

A: Stanchions are strongly recommended. You can
use carpet if you like, but since this is the
Traditional section, we certainly aren't expecting
it!
The crowds are huge and we want you to make your
display look as sharp as possible. We have made
special arrangements with COBO for you to purchase
10x20 carpets at a reduced rate, but you MUST
contact in advance for this! (Convention &

We will post this info as soon as it is verified
with Cobo center.
Q: What about setup?
Are we using the same entrance that has that long
line?
A: We are happy to say we have secured a totally
separate entry/exit that is on the river side
off of Atwater. This will alleviate the long lines
and help to get you into the building faster and
easier.
Q: I hear that Autorama
Extreme also has a Tuner section. Am I going to
be next to some pounding loud spoiler clad rice
rocket?
A: NO: Although we are sharing the same floor
space, we have 100,000 square feet to work with,
so the Traditional Rods will be separated from
the Tuner crowd.
Q: I have a Traditional
Rod related business. Can I get a commercial booth?

Rod lifestyle to be in this area. If it isn't

in the Autorama Extreme area!

to be in the show all three days?

do not have to be there personally, we don't want
you to miss out on any of the fun!
Q: Is there a separate
admission fee for Autorama Extreme?
A: NO, the regular ticket gets you into all sections
of the Detroit Autorama. |
