Maybe it was just me then, but I think th event could'of been better organized, specially since there were major companies behind it.

Like Glen said, sux how they were all **** with non-smokers. And what was the deal with the local PD just hanging there harrasing people to the point that they made it a point to cite people if they don't move their cars??

I personally thought the event was great for what it was since most of the time the mini shows/meets blow. How hard is it to say that you are a smoker to get a free meal ticket? However, I do agree that it should have been free food for all.

Also about the local PD, you cannot pin that on the organizers. Unfortunately, the little strip of concrete that goes all the way back is public property, hence the "Apex Circle." Cops especially in nicer areas always do lame things since they have nothing better to do.

Yeah, not saying that its hard to "lie" or stretch the truth. I guess the point is, like Glen, other people drove over an hour thinking it was going to be an event like most other 350z events posted here.

I guess kinda like the Meguiar's meet coming up. We know the purpose of the meet, but Im sure if Meguiar's gives people who use other products a hard time at the event, people are going to feel uncomfortable and more than likely, p-o'ed.

In regards to the PD, not blaming the organizers. Just asking what the deal was. I figured since it was an event, the companies behind it or hosting it had taken the time to get permits and such. For example, the booth's were allowed to park on the red zones... Im assuming there was a permit for that?

Regardless, I had nothing better to do on Saturday, so it was good day.
