Irresponsible behavior at the cruise.

[CobraKelly]

Well, its seems that quite the discussion was started.

Sometimes I just have faith in people. For those of us who have been on a jury you know what I am speaking of. Almost always, a good jury will come to the correct conclusion in spite of all the professional BS being tossed their way.

Ok, so I put this issue in front of the group and some of the responses were prime BS. A lot of finger pointing and “oh yeah, well what about him”. But the over all decision of the group seems to me to be that:

A. 100 + MPH on a city street was not what was understood to be allowed by the event organizers, is not a good idea and is not to happen again.
B. The individual drivers must assume the burden of responsibility for their actions and that this responsibility can’t be waived with “permission” from a 3rd party.
C. High speeds are to be kept to a venue that is conducive for those speeds.
D. Rudeness has no place at the fling. (not talked about as much as I would have liked but I have to assume that this is what people feel)


One thing that was disappointing to me about this thread is that no one who was a transgressor had the integrity to say that they were wrong. The ones that did speak up only offered excuses or insults or both even after it was made clear to at least some of them that they were in error.


I think that some of the suggestions for modification of DVSF IV are just great. I would really enjoy the 0-60-0 or even 0-100-0. I do think that there has to be some sort of competition that people can engage in. 0-60/100-0 could be that. Or we could compete for the lowest time on the x-cross. We are all naturally competitive people and that’s ok as long as we channel it and keep it fun and safe. Moving the cruise to Saturday night would also fit my schedule as well as moving the strawberry festival to Sunday.

The single best addition to this year’s event was the x-cross. I only wish I could have gotten in more runs.


We were very lucky this year. Lets not have to rely on that luck at DVSF IV.

DV and all the others, thanks for your support in this thread.
