Although I'm leading the other caravan that gets there at 9 am, I'm looking forward to seeing you all out there! BIMMERFEST!

Pretty weak "cruise"... cruise != tearing off at 100mph and splitting up.

The cruise was a fun time and meeting a new group was definitely worthy. Pat did a great job of leading the DC metro group to Hunt Valley. The group remained together for Shawan, I-83 and I-695. The traffic greatly increased on I-95 and the group broke into packs.
If there was speeding, the onus is on the individual(s). Personally, after I stopped at the 695/95 junction to get the drive-by video, traffic was heavy enough to not merit catching up. On I-95, many mixed with others driving to the Aberdeen. We have a group that spans generations. 'Kids will be kids'. No worries, parents - and even most of the 'kids' - understand. All in all, it was a good time.

100 mph? LOL. I don't know about the group that you were with (that came from va), but I was in the group that met up at ikea in cp and went to white marsh, then to aberdeen. Both times when we departed and entered the highway, the problem was that people weren't going fast enough. The general speed that everyone was supposed to drive was 70-75, but I had to slow down to 50 just to get some decent shots of cars because people were going so slow. (I was one of the camera cars). The only time I saw anyone "tearing off" was when a silver turbo e36 m3 raced a guy on a motorcycle.

The GoPro must be deployed for any opportunity. I considered getting more flashy with sped up video for the opening roll call but everyone deserves equal time.

In the end, there will always be someone that wants to go fast. If they do, just let them go. There is no reason to go triple digit speeds in this area. I will cruise the speed limit with you in the future, just fyi. I don't want/need any speeding tickets/insurance increase, etc.

I drove from Suffolk, VA and met up with you guys at the college park IKEA. I had a good time considering I didnt know anyone. There was a black E92 taking pics of all the cars; does anyone know where these pics will be posted?
