To each his own but to me every time I have done a car show or event I do enjoy more people showing up but I prefer they be of the same caliber and show respect. Every year a close friend of mine and myself do the Car Show for Cancer here. This year's was the biggest yet and exhausted me, I even missed an FR-S while running around trying to keep everything going smoothly and that was just 100 cars or so. Not only did I find I could not please everyone and that those I let judge caused me some issues... but that even the best reason was not always reason enough for others to think of anyone but themselves.
Thankfully everything went rather smoothly and we will have no problem going back next year, but each time I pick up on the points I need to change in the hopes of one of these times getting it perfect... or just being able to sit down for a while lol.
Just to be clear I am not trying to be rude or down play the idea, I might have come across that way and it was not my intention at all.

I've put together many meets. Big and small. The last big meet I held at my house was the BBQ.
I've also had several "tech days" as well with much smaller group
I understand you are not trying to be rude. We still have smaller meets. I've only been working on this for 2 months now so when things like that are said I do unfortunately take offense. I will have at the end put 4 months of my time into this next BIG event. That is all ill say about it. I have put so much into this. I'm doing this for everyone in ARIZONA86. Not for me. I like to give back. Trust me. For those who miss this will be very disappointed. I'm not going to getting into details of this, all I can say is I'm freaking so excited!!!! Ill give my shoutouts and props to the people that are helping me pull this off when the time comes, because there is no possible way I could pull everything off all by myself. Thanks you to everyone in the community because this all couldn't be possible without you!
