Last I knew everyone and their mother could go, hell it's  a public lake. But look down the middle section of the main page, not looking too good for it to happen

  I've been attending this event for the last four yrs, even posting dates and info of the event on socal so we could all attend  the TPM that the guys on PB host what a same that some people attending don't  even know whats going on.

I know that there is a thread somewhere about this deal but I can not find it on my phone. I know it's Jan 8th, my question is can v-drives go?

January 8th? Thats on a Sunday? Is this correct? (if it does happen)

A) Why not self-police?  Call idiots out and/or nobody line up against 'em.  EZ

the idiot in the shitbox v-drive got called out on PB....of course it turned into a shit slinging fest.

B) Move over to the other side of the hill where the cove is waaay bigger. EZ

no, the cove is fine - The problem is people racing back into the cove while people are racing out. shit, racing in the cove period is a problem. Just stupid. It wasnt a big deal year 2 (when i went and met you there with QuickJet) because there was only a handfull of us there....no 100's of people.

C) Add a little organization at the beginning with some somber words or shared memories.  Remind newcomers and hangers on why many folks are there.

not a bad idea, but i think the people who would be the ones to put that together arent even interested in holding the event again. ...and IF they do, it would be a closed doors hush hush event.

lets face it people. i know it sucks, but once again, a handful of idiots ruined it for everyone else. dont be that handful. end of story.

Brad, in regards to (a) will he really be so stupid as to do the same things all over again?  Even if he shows up with brass balls shining, how can he race is no one lines up with him?

(b) the other cove is so big you could run 8 wide and still have people coming back in w/o crowding.  Sometimes you just can't cure stupid, but you can steer wide 

(c) good people shouldn't let 'tards ruin good things, but I don't think my suggestion would have carried much weight anyway because so many folks come in late.

The whole thing is stupid considering they are on the only lake for 500 miles THAT HAS A DESIGNATED SPEED ZONE .

All right already... I can take a hint... I won't be going this year, because apparently I got out of control last year 

Rename the event to a winter gathering and have all boats park on back rim.
