I agree that the food situation sucked. 1 food vendor and 4000 people ain't a good combo. Afterwards, we ended up at an authentic German restaurant about 3 miles away that was AWESOME!!
I thought the parking could have been handled better as well. I thought the plan was to start filling in the lot from the far end (down where our booth was), but when the caravans showed up early, there was mass confusion. Luckily, we got great weather and an even better turnout. Hopefully we showed that this area can easily support an event like this and it'll be a yearly thing. It was a shame that some people thought it was a good idea to start peeling out and drifting at the end. What a bunch of douchebags! I wouldn't be surprised that Ripken wouldn't allow us back b/c of that; they ended autocross there about 4 years ago b/c it was tearing up the pavement (their excuse). Some HOT models though

I had a great time and it was good to see some guys I have not seen in a while. For a first time event I think they did a very respectable job. The parking and food situation definitely needs to be addressed next time. There were so many cars scattered around I am sure I missed some good ones. I wish they had the cars parked by region or by model so it would have looked a little more organized.
Either way I had a great time and I hope this can be held in MD again.

I guess this is turning out to be the 'official Mid-Atlantic Bimmerfest thread'...
And what was with the protestors? Didn't know about them until I saw the plane WTF?

That was me. I have some solid video footage from the caravan. I am in the process of editing the footage and hope to have it up tonight. I will post it here and the main pics/videos thread.

I was hoping to have some video of the 60 cars on our convoy driving up to Aberdeen, blocking down 95 completely. Sadly that never happened.
