Not to piss in your cornflakes, but the standout memory of a good friend of mine was watching one of the " major East Coast sponsors" (we'll leave it at that) charge through the parts tent at the front of the line skimming the cream of the crop with a wave of the hand. Unencumbered by the time-consuming process of actually stopping to pay for the stuff like everyone else, he was able to secure a lot of the great deals in a single round, paid for later after the blitzkrieg was complete. I mean, come on-buying 30 snow tires at a shot? I'm not saying the stuff went out to his table for resale at the convention after mark-up, but many of the same items he was observed buying were being sold there. It's the kind of incident that would sour me on the SOC. It has and I wasn't even there. Hearing this kept me from bothering to go on Saturday even though it was only 45 min. away and I had the use of my friends passes. For me, the parts exchange is the highlight, as much as I enjoy the cars themselves. To be fair, though, my friend did enjoy the rest of his day there.
It would be preferable in the future if such plundering was performed out of sight of the attendees. I doubt my friend was the only one that picked up on this.
