I can warn and shout all I want at the driver's meeting but I am certain someone will tune me out and not even hear half of what I say, then jump in their car and think they are Initial D drift heroes.

I'm pretty sure that like the last time, the organizers will ask everyone to sign a waiver that releases the organizers from any liability should anything unfortunate happen during the event or the drive. I thought it was kind of comical the first time I saw that, but now that I've agreed to help plan this drive I am starting to think it's a great idea. Nonetheless we want to make sure that safety is the first priority, and having fun is the second priority.
I hear ya man, I had the same reservations when I planned the drive for the previous bbq. Mine's rd. is almost worse since the road is much tighter (no epic u-turns on this one ). Let me know what I can do to help, I'm semi-familiar with the route, so I could lead or tail, which ever is needed. Let me know when you do the recon run, would love to join if I could.
