I go out to meets irrespective of the club or organizer because I want to check out other rides, and if I'm lucky meet some like minded people along the way.
I went to this event and was very disappointed by the behavior of many drivers. People were doing burnouts in the lot kicking up stones on other people rides, absolute lack of common sense if they were to lose control of their ride and slam into someone else's. 90% of the time they had N signs on their car. Then there were others peeling out onto the main road some barely keeping control of their car sliding all over the place in an attempt to show off. I was waiting for one of them to fly over the grass into someones car only to think it was inevitable.
My main question is why on all sides? A redundant question but I really don't get it. I heard there were 4 accidents after people left. Common sense will tell you: shitty road conditions - drive carefully. Where does this assumption come that if you have a modified car it justifies you driving like a cunt? I don't care how good of a driver you are: there is a time and place for that shit.
From an organizers perspective you should neither allow nor encourage this shit. I can't tell you how paranoid I was of some monkey peeling out while coming toward my car thinking what if he suddenly lost control?
All things taken into account I will not be going to this event again. No accountability, no sense of order or control. Obviously I expected too much...a lesson learnt.
One could argue that the organizer can't control what people do, but if you are putting on an event you need to be accountable and put forethought and planning into enforcing responsibility on other. You need to be vigilant about that shit man. Doing a burnout? GTFO. Have enough people helping to maintain a sense of order. I welcome police presence, so when an 18 year old kid decided he wants to play tokyo drift and slams into a car he suffers the repercussions of his actions.
