At the first one, the things I remember most are seeing a 69 Daytona for the first time and the way the crowd would part for anyone wearing a NHOA t-shirt (those guys always travelled in a group and remember it was the Chrysler Car Club Convention back then) but having just attended my 30th one the thing that stnads out the most from then and hasn't changed today is the feeling of being in such a larghe group of people who are just like you.
