Thanks to all that came out... first year was only 35-40 cars, 2nd year was 50 cars, last year was 60 cars, and this year I think we broke 90 cars or so...
My apologies for the BBQ line being slow, as the "island" in the middle of where we had parked originally had a BBQ grill and a couple of benches, but those were removed and it was too late to have another person bring an extra grill.
BTW to the individuals that almost ruined it for everyone, please think about what you were doing. One person was driving fast in the morning in the park, and when I confronted him his excuse for driving fast was that "my car has an open wastegate and the wastegate opened by itself when I reached a certain RPM". No names will be given out, but please try not to screw up the event for everyone else. And to the person that was letting their kid brother/cousin/friend drive around the park, that was stupid and irresponsible. I wished I had called the cops on you, but that would have been too much work for too little punishment, especially after me making it EXPLICITLY CLEAR that this type of behavior would not be tolerated.
The more events I hold, the more paranoid I become of a few rotten apples screwing over everyone... hence the lack of events in general. And honestly I don't want to do this BBQ every year anymore, not after what the park rangers told me and after what could have happened. I guess people never learn.
But it was a good event, no doubt.
