I went as a vender in the used parts swap area and to sell my red/white truck. The meet was not what I hoped for business wise as the weather and the Columbus Good guys was probably a better bet. What ticked me off was the folks who ran the show did a really poor job. You had to wait on line to get in even if you had registered on thursday and had a spot----. They never cracked down on all the jerks on mopeds, 4x4s, and golf carts running around like crazy with one "event staff" jerk going up and down the road at gatte 2 as fast as he could for 3 days!!! This is/was a lawsuit just waiting to happen and I hope it does and they loose their butts.
The positive side was meeting all the board members---hanging with them and trying to remember all the screwey board names/faces. THAT was great! Seeing Tim, Paul, and their stuff was also fun as it's always nice to see tons of new stuff and DRULLLL!
Did find a couple of bargins which kind of softened the frustration and hanging with friends is always great fun. Now if I had a $ for everyone who loved the red/white truck------now that would have been financially rewarding! Huck
