Had a great time on Sunday - thanks to all who organized
Hope this next part doesn't come off negatively- it's merely a suggestion
I have a great deal of experience with leading motorcycle rides - and I think much of what we riders do applies to car group rides as well.
There only needs to be 1 single rule, and it's so simple to follow.
EVERYONE need only be responsible for the 1 guy in their mirror..... simple as that.
I've lead groups of 25+ riders and as long as everyone follows this one simple rule - no one can get lost or split from the group. Faster people up front, slower people in the rear.
(it helps a great deal if people position themselves in the queue appropriately from the beginning - especially on bikes cause the faster riders do indeed enjoy the twisties at speeds the slower/less experienced riders could not handle)

It works so well for us riders, I can't see why it wouldn't work equally well for a large group of cars. - can't hurt to try it.
