Westair..I'm sure you're correct as well. I have been friends with many of the guys from Idaho way, and they do this show every year. They have been egging me for years to go to this. As you state, many do arrive early/stay later to enjoy the water. Even for them, it only makes sense. Until my ski boat is finished, I have two drag boats...and they're really not for "pleasure cruising", so they'd be static displays during the show and once the show is over, go home. Kinda anti-climactic for me to display, and again, too far to just "drop in" and check out other peoples machinery.
