<VV> Convention trailer info

[Vairtec Corp]

Actually, I think John was remembering Buffalo, where the convention 
truly was downtown and where trailer parking was at an obscure off-site 
location.  The most recent Detroit convention had trailer parking right 
on-site.  To their credit, the local hosts in Buffalo did a great job 
shuttling trailer owners to and from the trailer site, but nonetheless 
some trailer owners were not particularly happy.

That Buffalo convention was an eye-opener for CORSA because the number 
of trailers that showed up far outstripped any prior convention.  The 
hobby was changing.  Trailer parking has since moved up on the priority 
list.
