+1 I like smaller groups anyway.. Big groups your just asking for trouble.. some dumb ass kid or adult doesnt know how to drive short stops cant stop in time and boom everyones day is ruined... so small groups for me with trusted drivers.... and when its a new guy tagging along we test him by putting them in the middle right scott?

these runs should be limited to 10-15 cars MAX. Forget about the tickets. I am thinking safety. When you have amateur drivers there who thinks he's the best, that's it. It's over. To whoever's going, take care and good luck.

It was fun! Me a TL and a G37 were going pretty fast on some random road and the TL was the last car in our little 3 car group....cop out of nowhere comes out and pulls TL over. We had a few more people get tickets. No major accidents but a E90 M3 messed up its right side and needs a new mirror/repaint...a 135i also needs a new repaint on the right side. Too much traffic though so the "spirited driving" factor was limited.

Sounds like a FABULOUS day! Glad I missed it.

vehicle was not to be seen... another successful stealthy attack!

Sounds like a terrible day. Glad I missed it. The old meets we used to do were great. I'm not inspired anymore to do big gatherings...just small drives with a few friends/enthusiasts.

Between the cops and traffic, you have once again demonstrated why I do my hard driving in the sticks
