It's unfortunate that an event that so many people go to, that grows yearly, is torn apart with negativity like this. Did not anyone have a good time?

If I was one of the staff or organizers of this I would certainly be questioning doing it again. Not because it wasn't a success, but because they volunteered their time and money to pull this huge event off only to have people blatantly break the rules with no respect for the event and then bicker and defend themselves. How Sad!
It's sad that there will always be dis-respectful people at large events, especially automotive events. It's sad that those that were dis-respectful don't even understand how. But no one is going to change, there will always be these people. The solution as I stated before is more volunteers and staff to police and patrol the area with the authority to kick out (with police escort if needed) those violating the rules. Arguing with a dude on the internet about what he did and how it was wrong isn't going to solve anything, it just adds negativity to the event, a charity event at that.

You don't like how something was done? Volunteer next year to help improve it.
