Plus their personalities suck as they don't even say hello at all.

I thought the amount of dealers was smaller in number as well, but a dealer informed me that it was the same amount of dealers.
The dealer numbers are clearly down from 3-5 years ago. As one previous poster said, Chantilly is more of an autograph show. I know some dealers don't set up at Chantilly for that very reason. Yes, some dealers are far more friendly than others. Perhaps the heat outside just made for a very long weekend and the dealers were wore out.
