Thanks for being so proactive to make this changes. It is always sad when people can self govern, but it happens at every free car event 😢 Hope this work and I’ll see you on the road next year
Back when I moderated for a local BMW group, we had the same issues. Members without insurance crashing into other members is when it became not so fun. So I definitely can relate.
Thanks for understanding. While it's fun having over 350 vehicles supporting a specific event, we aren't looking to get a reputation of wreckless driving or endangering others
The amount of hooning and dumb shit that happens in the Bham car scene is the reason I am not a part of the community. The last meet I went to, one car crashed with a parked van across the street and ran from the police haha….30min later some kid threw a rod trying to burn out of the parking lot. Smh. So I appreciate this a lot and I totally agree with the changes.
Those are definitely NOT the type of drivers we're looking for. So unfortunate when a few people do stupid shit and ruin it for everyone else. Hope these changes move us in the right direction! I dont know about you but getting behind the wheel of my car and driving with a good group of people is very therapeutic for me and I dont want to have to shut things down. Thanks for the support!!
I agree. Last year at the later Diablo Lake Ralley, at the next view point East there were 4 Mustang's taking turns doing burnouts/doughnuts in the middle of Highway 20, all for RU-vid stupidity. I had to come to a stop to let them finish being idiots, and I got the finger.
The support we're getting so far has been great! We appreciate everyone understanding and being onboard with what we're doing :) Those are definitely NOT the type of drivers we're looking for as members.
