Why don't you just go right out and say it, that you're afraid that a
bunch of riceboys (and their fans) doing donuts in their
fartcan-equipped Japanese import beaters will give us all a bad name?
I have the same fear but I'd rather they have a legitimate venue for
their activities rather than blasting up and down the residential
street in front of my house like a bunch of asshats.
Maybe when we have our own dedicated auto-x site we'll be able to
dictate who can and can't come to "our" playground, but until then I
think we'd be better served by educating the general public about what
we do, rather than try to discourage others who want to do their own
"thing".
