I'm curious, why is that? (coming from a person thats never been)
I have been 4 times now (maybe 5). Its a good show. I just get bored seeing the same stuff year after year.
Pete you make excellent points but now Old School has a suite so we must send in the RTT Ninjas... He might even buy the ninjas a beer???
The suite/hotel and the show are (IMO) unrelated. I will party at a host hotel, I just have no desire to go to the show.

Mr KP. The only thing that we need is the party. The show is boring, I must admit as well.

Pete, I feel almost the same. I've only been the past two years, and yes, I saw some of the same cars twice. No biggie to me...
You know what? I honestly feel like the parking lot scene at the Hawthorne is THE show. Felt that way both years.
('Course, my car isn't a show queen anyway)
Yeah, the vintage is the appetizer, and RTT is the main course for me. I haven't been more stressed out, angry, nervous, sick, jealous, helpful, excited, happy, and proud in my entire life. Truly MY kind of event. It sounds cliche, but I'm not kidding; it changed my life.

I don't know that RTT changed my life, but it definitely changed the way I look at maps. I wish I could do it in 2013, but I'm just not sure.

That is the most honest statement I have heard lately, I will be looking forward to see you at RTT13.

With a wedding on the horizon for me in summer of 2013, I might have to just wait until 2014 to get to any events. I'd love for RTT to be my maiden voyage outside of Michigan in the e28, but that means I'll just need to really get progress going on the car...suspension, tires, reliability issues. There's always Tedfest, that's only a couple hours away...
