This is a quote from Drag Expo organizers Todd & Laurie Silvey.


Quote:"First of all, the world drag expo will not take place this year and here is why. Our contract with the building expired after last year's show, and even in this economy, it was going to be a huge hike in price to continue there, and we wanted to lower the pricing to more reasonable levels for the way the economy is at this point. An agreement could not be worked out to anybody's satisfaction, So, no there will not be a world drag expo. We have not joined forces with anybody, all other shows are on their own and done by other people - enjoy them as you want to."

Went to the performance expo last year and it was pretty lame. The vendors had a shitty attitude and weren't very helpful at all. My dad was looking for advice from the Edelbrock guys and dude pretty much pointed at a catalog and read the description. Yeah, I could do that too.

At the QA1 booth where I was looking to spend money, there were no parts in stock and there were no discounts. You'd think they'd be able to stock and unload some F-Body suspension parts at an expo like this, or at least offer a show special.

Really? You think that they would be all over your questions to get your business! Thats lame.

And no special offers at a vendor booth?? Thats totally lame. I was debating on going and now I dont know if I really want to now especially if there is nothing like that.

yeah thats weird because the first one i went to and everyone was giving stuff away, everyone was pretty nice and it wasnt too bad for being the first. i didnt make it last year so i dont have .02 to give on that. hopefully itll be better this year.
