The organizer had a lot of people pissed off at him. No signs, no communication. It reminded me of a bad dream. Total waste of time as a vendor, I should have stayed at home and went hunting.. I hate it when people waste my time.
What was made out to be the world's largest Porsche event was the world's largest waste of time. They only had the track during the NASCAR speedtech lunch period, what a joke. I knew they'd never break a record, but I had no idea that anything could be this bad.. in 6 hours we saw 5 total spectators in the vendor area. In a total of 9 wasted hours we saw maybe 30 spectators in the vendor area... Because no one knew where we were. At one time I rode the company golf cart around the staging area, what a mistake that was because everyone thought I was in charge of something.. I had to explain that I was just as lost and confused as everyone else in attendence. We were told to be at the vendor area @ 0630, we had to wait till 0715 in freezing ass weather before the sun came up to find anyone to unlock the doors. What a disaster.
