One thing that surprised me this years was the theft of parts. I know of one vender that lost 2 $75 radiator caps and a member attending that brought an original Ram Air vacuum actuator that took him 5 years to find and someone actually stole it from behind his car a few minutes after he was talking about it. As for the cost of getting into the concourse cars and original owner cars and the venders that were set up inside was strange to say the least. Having the event on the 4th of July weekend was a thought out idea. Getting the convention center at the lowest cost since the 4th weekend is the least desirable time to hold a convention hence the cheapest. The concert was nice but since I didn't buy a ticket in advance I couldn't go into the fenced off area to watch even though the band was paid for by our host the Performance Years.
