The only way to keep the bikes from causing the problem they did is to have the owner buy into the meet and the person with the permit must have off duty cops to do security and run them off. Its the only thing I've seen work. Problem is that your aren't going to find many shopping center owners willing to do it. We won't let them have meets in our centers, mainly for the liability.

That's how they've made the Santa Clara get together work. One person's name is on the permit. He's got a group of volunteers who do any clean up that's necessary. Amazingly enough, they haven't had any problems and people don't leave any trash behind. You'd have to be an idiot to do a "spirited exit", since you see police driving by and the police station is right around the corner. :)

We'll see how long it holds together.

Luckily, our local Cobra groups have a couple of restaurants that welcome our attendance. They probably get up to 40 or more Cobras, Coupes, and GT40's on a nice summer Saturday at the Rock House in Livermore.

Can't we just send in some money and make these embedded sponsored links just go away?:(

I think the answer to that will likely be "no."

I'm not sure when a new donation program is going to start, but based on your post count and overall enjoyment of CC, Brent will probably need both your donation and ads to support the needed hardware and bandwidth. :D

But now they have an agreement with all your personal information on it. I haven't organized one there, but I think there is also a security deposit required (not sure on that one though). I do know it includes the organizers Name, Address, and phone numbers on it.
