Mine end up  on the glove box door of whichever car makes the trip.   I
have some that still aren't on the cars that "earned" them...  accumulated
a few over the years by now.

Freebie stuff from the vendors...?   To quote Richard Pryor, "You'll sooner
get free food at a Chinese restaurant!"     (just kidding, I got some deals
on parts)

The ONLY thing I'd liked to have seen was a more "open space" layout like
Carlisle, but then again the Hyatt was rather nice and there was a mall
attached and a food court and the concessions were right there in front of
all.   Hard to find any fault with that.

Same here.   There's was an empty spot on the glovebox door where the Lex
Nats dash plaque would have gone.   There's currently a generic "visit
Kentucky" magnetic plaque which does suffice.   But it would have been nice
for another nationals plaque to go there.    Did they run out of dash
plaques or something?   

It would make sense if they had...  this convention looked like it was very
well attended.    And I *did* get there Wed morning and I hadn't
pre-registered...    


It's hard to find fault with this show.    I'll not begrudge the lack of a
dash plaque.
