Brian at LSC loaned his trailer to help pick up the 'burning car on 6th street' on Thursday night, AND loaned the trailer to one of the Austin Cobra Club guys to follow the Hill Country Tour on saturday to pick up any 'breakdowns'. ( Which I know well, since MINE was the one that got picked up!!!!

)
Additionally, the LSC tent were only too glad to share libations and hot dogs whether you had an LSC or not!
All in all, I think the event was MUCH better WITH the vendors than it would have been WITHOUT them.
I say bring 'em on, the more the merrier, provided that (and I HATE to agree with Larry...LOL) "as long as they aren't pushy vaccuum cleaner type salesmen" !! We should have some kind of "positive vetting " process perhaps!
