Without referring to this C & C in particular, I think we've all seen vids of F-cars, Lambos, FTGs, Porsches and/or what-have-you 'hot-dogging it' out of various show/C&C/rally venues. So, although it's possible the "hogs and ricers" alone (or in particular) "killed" Irvine, I have my doubts the blame was solely theirs and theirs alone. :wink

I'm sure it will reconstitute itself somewhere
I think exotic / classic / vintage owners want to enjoy their cars respectfully and eventually it becomes a free for all of 80s mustangs, c5 corvettes and econ0box tuners leaking coolant pools / being towed
When word gets out "free car show, bring ur mcmuffins munch ur hash-browns on my hood " it's over

While I'd really like to attend the final one on the 27th, I'm very hesitant. it will undoubtedly be chaos. Too many cars, not enough parking, lots of yahoos = disaster.

I can name at least 1/2 a dozen popular cruise sites in my area that 'exhibitionist' yo-yos have been responsible for shutting down.

Now I won't have to fight the urge to get up at 4:30 AM, drive 1+ hrs to Irvine, and then leave at 8AM and drive 1++ hrs back, oh and the 45 minutes to get my trailer ramps out on the street to get the GT on the road. Whew! Thought this would be a lifetime event

So yesterday's event was so chaotic, it was decided to cancel what was supposed to be the last one on the 27th.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Ed, I went over there yesterday arriving late (8 ish) and it was still crazy. There were o many people, it spilled over into the hotel parking lot. The worst thing was an accident (pretty bad) at the intersection between a young Miata driver and an F150. Both were transported from the scene by ambulance. This was the first 2 car collision in the history on C&C. Bad note to end on....
Shame. Was there dumbassery involved in that crash or just unfortunate circumstances?
My trip down to OC for the holidays was cancelled anyway. Too bad I couldn't make one more before they shut it down.

Would never have guessed my FGT would be featured a Jalopnik article..... Too bad it is in the most unfortunate of circumstances. It's a shame this had to be the last C & C. Glad I made it to this one before its demise.
