The "holding area" was actually intentionally implemented by me. I wanted drivers the chance to experience lining up side by side with a fellow enthusiast waiting to come in. I know it would bring a smile to my face waiting beside a supped up skyline on the left and a turbocharged civic on my right. Though I admit, there were some times when the wait did drag on for too long; there really wasn't enough space to be found by 10:30am and I am just 1 person running end to end in such a huge lot (imagine the workout and sunburn i got that day). As well, I wanted to have something visually pleasing for the parking too, which is why I asked of some cars to do "angled" parking, allowed some creative freedom for clubs to park themselves or be strategically placed together. This obviously took longer for them to park and hence the backlog of people in the "holding area".
As you volunteers can attest, the presented floor plan during the orientation at Blitzgear changed the moment we arrived early Sunday morning to Silvercity. From clubs not showing up as promised, to a big water puddle in a car clubs spot, to the Holiday Inn staff parking overnight in dedicated vendor spots pre-arranged by Blitzgear. However, despite these hiccups, I think the important thing to remember is what we do during times of crisis and how we respond to it. That's what defines Revscene.
Other comments? keep it coming, I don't mind being able to give insight to the traffic decisions that day. Suggestions for future meets are indeed helpful but realize that literally every RS meets are not the same as the previous ones. Many conditions are different e.g. venue, date, time, crowd, vendors, car clubs, weather, volunteers, managers, etc.
