I couldn't make the meet last minute due to an electrical gremlin. I'm sure it was fun. For those of you who don't post in FA or on the socal mailing list, here is a post from Alex. Apparently there were some idiot drivers again:

******BTW thanks to those that did stupid stunts as you left; I saw a few before I left at 3PM and to be quite frank and honest, if things like this keep happening you guys can have your own meets and I will just avoid you all.

Some people cannot stop from being childish and possibly ruining it for everyone. Nobody realizes it but the LA County Sheriff's station was about 1/2 miles down the street on Avalon on the other side of the freeway.

Next time there won't be a next time. If people want to be idiots I will call the cops on them and everyone else can go home. Meets like this are not a time to show off your ego or your lack of self control with the gas pedal. If you cannot control yourself from making a ruckus when leaving then I DO NOT WELCOME YOU AT ALL AT ANY FUTURE EVENTS THAT I HOST.

Do I make myself clear? Or must I repeat it prior to every single event like a babysitter?

-alex *******

I'll add that during a meet we had in the summer at Mile Square Park, the park officials brought up what had happened a year before. While the incident was not anyone in our group before(some guy in a Honda that was there for his own picnic decided to do a burnout while leaving), they still thought it was us and gave us a hard time about it. These kind of things need to stop. Shine Street has been kind enough to allow us to hold meets there, but anyone's hospitality can only go so far. If you don't care that's fine, but you are not only disrespecting those that offer us the use of their facility, but also the other enthusiasts who do care about being able to come back. If this becomes a problem, I think we will have no choice but to start keeping record of who does this and not welcome them to the next meet.

I think moving forward they should have someone monitor the exit point(s) for all meets so we can blackball these exhibitioners of speed

I got lots of pics, but I dont have anywhere to host em. Like 39 megs at about a meg a shot. My personal highlights were...

The three 510's

Thought the 240 with a Supra swap was interesting

Red R33 I think owned by Shine Street, guess though

White R32 Owned by SR20Store.com (99% sure)

I'd hate to think we would have to resort to this.

It's called "good faith" and giving people the benefit of the doubt.

If I start blacklisting people I am not holding meets in good faith to those that wish to attend.

If I don't give people the benefit of the doubt I am judging them before they do anything; who's to say they won't clean up their act?

In any case, at any future meet I do if some 240 owner that goes to the meets from any forum post I made on any forum (FA, NICO, Zilvia, whatever) decides to act stupid, I will ruin everyone's day by kicking everyone out. Those that are mad, I will refer you to the troublemakers. These meets are getting big and fun, but in all honesty (and with all due respect to 240SX owners in general) if we cannot act like adults we do not deserve to be treated as adults.

As much as you'd hate to think that, something's gotta give. That is the reality of the situation. We can either refuse to tolerate this behavior at all, put up with it and allow it to continue or just not have any future meets at all, unless you see another possibility that I overlooked.

End the meet once something stupid is done and have people keep an eye out for violators. Take their license plate number and keep a running list of these people at all meets to discourage further acts of stupidity. Allow them to attend future events conditionally but ban them if they repeat an offense, or ban them period. (Just hope they aren't crazy gangsters) Good faith won't work with immature people so events have to have some form of regulation to keep things in order. It's sad that there has to be any at all but people do have a CHOICE: to abide by the rules or not
